It’s a principled take. There are plenty of articles showing it’s Trump’s base that’s receiving a significant portion of injury from his orders and policies. Unless they feel the pain — without democratic intervention to cast blame — these people will never change their minds. They may not in any event, but it has to affect them. It’s either these hard lessons, or we keep spiraling to civil war.

Learn from history.

The privileged voters tried to save trump’s base from itself, but what do they know:

The results also show poorer and less-educated voters now think Republicans best represent them — a reversal from 12 years ago, when Democrat Barack Obama was president. After a deep-dive into the data, here are five takeaways. Democratic support depends on high-income voters Economic realignment has been under way for some time, but hastened in this election. The Democratic party now appears to be the party of high-income voters, not those with low incomes.

Or… now hear me out… we let America get exactly what it voted for. Democrats can’t keep bailing out the republicans.

The question at hand is stupidity. I’m not sure why you invented different problems to discuss.

This type of discourse is pretty common around here though…

In any event, its probably a game of tug of war, and the decisions we make as a society depend greatly on how society’s parents were raised.

The key in that phrase is “offended”. You see, right-wing parents get offended when brown people are welcomed.

I do the problem solving, then let the AI write about it for me.

This is what right-wingers are after globally. Once you break the government, unions and worker protections, this is what’s possible.

Are you trying to pass an amendment? They actually had a supermajority for 72 days. Not that they didn’t get anything done, mind you, but the point stands.

Maybe we should start a community for trashed teslas? Name ideas?

I love this hot take that inclusivity is divisive. Or that anything they don’t like is divisive. And I especially like how people are supposed to care racists are offended by something which goes against their belief system.

Oh you’re right! Those are going to be worth something someday…

I learned from the new Dexter show that you have to kill three times to become a serial killer. So, it seems like two is the optimum number here, reducing the number of murderers by one and increasing the number of serial killers by none.
