I feel like this is backfiring for Republicans. No one sees them as honest anymore.
I'll call it backfiring when anyone does anything effective to stop them.
Why does this country get amnesia about republicans everytime a democrat is president? Trump and Elon laughed about Union Busting on a public Twitter space call….. LITERALLY LAST YEAR DURING THE CAMPAIGN
That was like a decade ago in political time.
Their base is a bunch of morons, they either STILL don't get it, or will NEVER care. Because aside from pure morons is the pure evil group that gets off on this shit.
There is no changing the minds of their base, what matters is getting uninterested voters to realize they need to actually participate in democracy while we still have it.
Yes but the other party isn't going to fix everything instantly, so we might as well let the outright fascists win again.
No sane person.
Problem is, mentally ill cultism is all too popular right now.
people have never actually cared about that sort of thing
Unless you live in the giant GOP media bubble where you don’t hear the truth about these folks. Which is 59% of the US.
Seriously. Just go into /r/conservative and look what "news" they are reading. It is all rage-bait stories about violence in the world caused by people of color or immigrants or leftists. There are no stories at all about the shutdown. I was flying home from vacation two days ago and could see the Fox News stories on a guy's TV in front of me. It was all rage-bait with no actual news stories, not even fake news stories blaming Democrats for the shutdown.
