Republicans are always evil. They don't do anything good. Ever. They're a known quantity. That's what we expect of them.
We expect the Dems to be better. And they get the smoke when they fail at that. Cutting Corp taxes. Border crackdowns. Genocide. Those are things that should exclusively be the pervue of Republicans. If dems run to the right they will always lose because the right was so triggered by Obama that policy doesn't matter to them whatsoever. It's purely teamsport for them. You can't appeal to them in any way. They see a (D) and vote against that person. Dems would never lose another election if they went only as far left as Bernie Sanders. We would have a perpetually booming economy and a high standard of living. But even that is far too far for the DNC Services Corp. So we get a gameshow host and a car salesman destroying everything.
"Conservatives", not Republicans. Around 100 years ago the style of both parties in the US was almost exactly reversed.
So the reaction is amplifying the messaging that They Are No Good, while being silent on the rest being worse.... Nice makes sense.
We do neglect the fact that most people are ignorant about politics. That is a problem we have. We see glaringly obvious things that others seem to miss entirely. Obvious thing is obvious to us.
Right wing policy is shit. That's like observing that water is wet or space is cold to us. It's just obvious. So clearly that's our bad.
Well yeah, what kind of messages are going to filter into conservative spaces? Just the "libruls bad" stuff, honestly.
