Ah yes, let's listen to the guy who supports Ukrainian and Tibetan genocide.

The Tea Party was an astro turf campaign created by the propaganda machine I spoke off. It was funded and promoted by the Koch billionaires.

The main problem is that Democrats do not have a propaganda machine like the Republicans do. It does not matter what the message is if it constantly gets drowned out by the unceasing flood of propaganda coming from the right.

When Trump won in 2016, I binge watched the entirety of Star Trek TNG and DS9. It was therapeutic to escape for a while to a world of logical people who try their best to rise above their base impulses.

Maybe he'll die and JD Vance will magically regain a conscience.

I think a large part of the problem is that they don't actually have first-hand experience anymore. Almost everyone who lived through WWII is dead now and humanity seems to be incapable of learning from other people's mistakes.
