(27 posts)Republicans play to win... By whatever means are necessary. Lying, cheating and frightening people are their currency. They would stop at nothing including murder too get and keep their power. On the other hand Democrats like f****** Merrick Garland play to be fair. Let's face it it's in our nature.
I was worried all along about immigration and the fact that Biden did allow a lot more undocumented in than Trump ever did. Republicans exploited the fears of people who mostly never met an undocumented immigrant. They stoked those fears for 4 years. They know fear works just like in England where people who never met immigrants voted to leave the European Union. You just can't overestimate fear and the absolute fact that Republicans will use it.
While I'm on a rant, it wasn't just immigration. When you allow criminals to commit their crimes with impunity, support trans who become women and then play in women's sports, Republicans saying you support prisoners getting trans operations (yes I know it was the law. I even think the first Trump administration enacted it... Not 100% sure about that) and allow wokeism to be exploited by right-wing hatemongers, you're fucked and you'll never win another election. I know those aren't issues that are of prime importance to Americans. They're cultural issues that have overwhelming support... And not just among right wingers. As I said a million times and I'm right these issues are why Democrats lose elections. Allowing criminals to run wild? Give me a fucking break. Allowing people who used to be men but are six foot four, massively bigger and more muscular than any woman to compete in women's sports, give me another fucking break. It's too late now. 4 years of trump will be unbelievably horrible but pale in comparison to what a right wing supreme Court for decades and decades and decades can and definitely will do. Before too long they will rule that an embryo is a person. They will abolish any gay rights, the right to privacy which is NOT guaranteed in the Constitution, the right to contraception, etc. Interracial marriage will remain legal because Clarence fucking Thomas has a personal stake in it. Good night and good luck to everybody.
