While most view Trump’s Jan. 6 charges as serious, many GOP voters remain loyal.

    Okay, say something that is:

    • Substantive
    • Doesn’t attack LGBTQ+ people
    • Doesn’t reject science

    Let me be blunt: Right now, “the libs” largely think Republicans have lost their minds. They’re hyper-fixated on disgusting and hateful myths about “groomers,” they’re pretending the climate hasn’t changed (or are even actively embracing climate change), and a credible presidential candidate who is the governor of a large state is actively pushing schools to start talking about the fucking upsides of slavery.

    We think Republicans don’t actually care about good governance, and the way they’re behaving proves us right continuously.

    So talk politics. Talk infrastructure, foreign policy, taxes, whatever… and we’ll listen to what you have to say. But if all you can do is scream about drag queens every time we give you an opportunity to say anything to us, then why the hell would we bother anymore?

    It’s up to you, now. It’s up to you to take the steps necessary to prove Republicans aren’t all deranged morons, because I gotta be honest, that’s the base assumption amongst “the libs” these days.

      I’m not a Republican. What I’m saying is that you’re not listening when they tell you they’re not interested in policy, infrastructure, foreign policies, taxes, or whatever. They’re fully committed to a theocratic dictatorship at this point and ignoring that is dangerous as hell. They’ve told us that they’re not interested in playing fair, the law, the constitution, or our positions. So why does the democratic party continue dealing with them as if they are. When someone tells you they’re going to burn your house down, believe them!
