But in comparison to a Trump or DeSantis, normal uncaring and evil conservative sounds really good. And i absolutely believe that you will manage to find someone more abhorrent than Trump. That is not a victory for you. | ||

Especially when 15 years ago there was no one worse than those who wanted to send men and boys to die for oil (this would have included people like Crenshaw had he been around). So you guys can say whatever you want, but you are all underselling it. I can't wait for "DeSantis is worse than Trump." It will be remarkable. Do you hear yourself? Republicans are more violent and fanatical than they've ever been. Your Supreme Court is poised to dismantle critical rights for people all across the country, and your leaders are dictating how people can educate our youth. They're positioning themselves so they can rewrite the rules of our democracy, so that once they retake power they never have to worry about losing it again, regardless of their abysmal levels of popular support. But your problem is that people are talking about it? Calling it out for what it is? Man, that really sucks for you. I'm sure we're all just overreacting though. | ||

They're undoing rights and ignoring elections for as long as nobody stops them. How do we stop them? When their constituents are conspiracy theorists who refuse to be educated and accept reality, I feel like whatever move we make (ignoring the leaders of this bullshit, calling them out on this bullshit, trying to get people to vote against them, trying to forcibly remove them, etc.) feeds into their conspiracy. | ||

I mean if that’s the general direction the Texas GOP wants to go my lord… It’s less stuff I disagree with as things I find outright insane They rarely have political stances that one could even attempt to agree/disagree with, in good faith, since they're all about just rejecting Democratic ideas and simply promoting conspiracy theories. They don't have any actual substantive positions of their own to evaluate, which is disappointing. | ||

The federal government isn't going to step in to override some of the awful shit happening here, and the government's successfully suppressed voting to one of the worst in the nation, so I'm lost. I don't see the GOP voters changing currently and the Dems aren't doing anything to convince people to not vote GOP Did someone say Mohdoo IslandTM? | ||
