Jesus. Thats all they got, huh?
Fighting “wokeness.”
No jobs plan, no plan on Healthcare, no plan on education, no plan on housing, it’s just wokeness. I hope Gen Z makes sure their registration is in perfect order next year.
The scary part is, it’s working.

While gerrymandering is definitely a big reason, it’s the absolutely unprecedented propaganda fire hose that is motivating conservative voters. Fox News and conservative media has transformed 30-40% of the country and the only word that rationally describes the the evidence is “brainwashing.”
These people aren’t just believing different things, they have been taught by their news sources to distrust and actively resist all other news and contradictory information. They are taught that there is an “other” that is barely human that wants to destroy them, and their in-group is the only thing that can protect them. They are fed stimulus all day long to keep those feelings of fear, anger and revulsion stoked.
Rupert Murdoch has created what may be history’s largest, most dangerous cult. It sounds sensationalist, I don’t use that word lightly, but the definition fits the facts.
I’ll go further. It’s not just Fox News, it’s the education system that has taught generations that America can do no wrong and we should blame everyone else. And the education system is maintained by a government that only wants workers for the economic mill. It doesn’t want skeptical critical thinkers because they would change society. A society based on an economic model of capitalism. A model that maintains a hierarchy so aristocrats can funnel money from the workers to maintain the system. Well, there’s your problem; it’s capitalism. It’s always been capitalism, and it will always be capitalism until we change it. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.
Statewide elections are not subject to gerrymandering, and in places like FL, show that the white nationalist rhetoric is absolutely effective. But yes, gerrymandering too.
“ECONOMICS is a secondary matter. World history teaches us that no people became great through economics: it was economics that brought them to their ruin. A people died when its race was disintegrated. Germany, too, did not become great through economics.”
- Adolf Hitler
Yeah. Hitlers great notion that economics are a secondary matter killed millions, split the German country into two, destroyed the economy of Europe, and visited one of the greatest man made horrors on the world.
I’d pump the brakes on quoting the guy if that’s your first thought about the upcoming presidential election.
I imagine that was entirely their point.
I think the goal was to show political leaders who only focus on culture war issues are charlatans.
You think I was comparing somebody to Hitler because I supported them?
On Healthcare they have anti abortion. That’s a positive in their eyes! Hopefully their clickbait tactics are losing touch with the voters.
It’s easy to figure out what the Republican Party doesn’t want. They never tell me what they actually want.
Hard disagree. Neither party can spot a clue even if Steve helped.
tldr
if KY voters care more about the gender issue than they do at the incumbent party’s failed sky-is-falling economic policy, then KY will switch Red
