It’s disturbing and stunning to read some of these perspectives which show the ongoing and skewed expectation that Republicans are allowed to destroy our economy, undermine housing expansion, dismantle civil/consumer rights and environmental protections and progress, and execute policies that only help the very rich while Democrats are blamed for not stopping/fixing literally everything. It also echoes the mainstream media’s ongoing narrative and ignores the fact that we are here because voters can’t be bothered to turnout in midterms which have been critical to helping Republicans consolidate power and wealth through state and federal policies and judicial appointments. It also ignores the outcome of apathetic voters in 2000 and 2016 which gave us the MAGA majority on SCOTUS and have undone civil, political and environmental protections that are devastating. But somehow it’s all Democrats’ fault. Democrats should stop doing anything and maybe people will finally realize that Democrats have protected them from the worst of the Republican agenda for decades. Maybe voters will finally learn that you get the democracy you show up for.

Anyone that supports Trump is an effing idiot and traitor after Jan 6.
