      I honestly don’t think it will matter. MAGA will watch Fox who will blame Democrats and others will watch sources that blame Republicans. I feel like we’re so divided and holed up in our information bubbles that nothing will change anyones opinion anymore since you’re fed a reality that is meant for you. :/

        They even own the voting machines too

        And then the other third of the country that can’t be bothered to inform themselves or think critically will be influenced by their MAGA coworkers, friends or relatives that its all the Democrats fault.

          My dad does this and I fucking hate it… Every time I see him over the holidays he’s preaching some fox news bullshit, “informing” family and friends about this and that b.s story that completely lacked all nuance to have a narrative formed.

              just like a democrat screaming npr and shit

              This false equivalency bullshit. No, it’s not like that at all.

              First of all, I’ve never seen anyone on the left treat npr the way conservatives treat Fox News. “Screaming npr”? Give me a fucking break.

              Second, npr is nothing but boring, milquetoast reporting. Just because you were told again and again that it’s some leftist propaganda or some shit, does not make it true.

              In fact, prior to having their funding cancelled completely, they were shifting to the right in an apparent over correction because conservatives were treating them like leftist propaganda. Because that’s what they were told. Which is fucking insane to anyone who has ever read or listened to NPR.

          if the democrats when they held control would done something about education, environmental protections, living wages, etcetera like they said were for then the United States could have had real informed elections with educated healthy citizens

          so in part it is the democrats fault for purposeful atrophied

          just like computers your output will be directly impacted by your input

          stop with the uncle tom defense of our supposed masters they do not need any of our help

      They will, as Republicans will hammer that “this is all the fault of Democrats” so they will all vote Republicans to fix the problem.

      Honestly to them, they blame the Democrats. They genuinely think this is the Democrat’s fault. My one friend only stopped saying that once I laid out the facts for them…

        It doesn’t help that government websites are saying it’s the Democrat’s fault. Which is a violation of the Hatch Act but laws don’t matter anymore.

        You would be very, very incorrect. DoD makes up a massive chunk of federal employees, and the magats are all over the place.

          If “did not vote” counted, they’d have won the vast majority of elections… It’s so disheartening

      Why so blue or red could have another four years to keep our country in a stranglehold for the owner class?
