It isn’t great for the sanity, but watching hard-right news for a few minutes will show you just how much people do fall for this. They’ve started to openly (but gently) suggest that democracy was a mistake, and their audience eats it up.
If Trump somehow wins, they’re actively planning for that to be our last election. Ever.
I mentioned it in another comment but Republican voters are so stupid it’s surprising they remember to breath. I was one and my last R vote was for McCain which was still massively wrong. I’d vote Obama if I could go back.
They don’t know what they are voting for at all. It’s equivalent to how we drive cars every day and almost no one understands how critical the bearing tolerance on the crankshaft is depending on power/maintenance goals. They literally don’t know anything about politics and just vote the way they are told.
Education fixes this problem. Not because they become more worldly, it’s because educated people just call people stupid publicly. Calling out stupid people makes them shut up and second guess themselves. It’s what fixed me. Some will double down but most won’t. Right wing media relies on pacifism in its opposition.
And they won’t stop when trump dies. If he doesn’t win and he dies they’ll find another figurehead. This is their long term goal, it is not a momentary fixation.
Plenty of people woke up during 2016-2020. Otherwise we wouldn’t have gotten Biden by a landslide and Dems wouldn’t have won so many other elections. You’ve got Roe v Wade as well which has fired up a lot of people. And despite what the shills would have you believe on social media, nobody is seriously going to allow Trump another shot because of the genocide going on in Gaza because they know that Trump would be far worse on top of the whole Fourth Reich thing.
I disagree. I wouldn’t call Biden’s last win a landslide. The genocide definitely will make a significant number of people apathetic and stay home (according to polls, Biden lost 11% favorability over this). Not many people are going to be excited about encouraging other people to vote for Biden either. The Muslim vote is important in the key state of Michigan; and Biden’s a very hard sell to Muslims right now. Though, it’s still very early to make predictions right now. There’s a non-zero chance one of the presidential candidates will die before the election, lol.
Please tell me people don’t fall for this inhales copium Please tell me people don’t fall for this
People absolutely fall for Fascists. It’s our job to be very loud and to point out what they are doing.
