the actual recording... and wow. I just dont even know how we can reach people like this. They are so convinced that they are the victims and that anything done to them is infringement on their right to hurt others.
I dont want to be a doomsayer but I think this country may be really screwed, without focused deprogramming they are convinced that the democrats want communism. Which is insane, because the democrats want status quo, and corporate oligarchy.
The secret is: we don’t need them and never have. Stop thinking about them and continue moving forward.
Unreachable people have always existed politically. Somehow the conversation these days has become “what about the problems of fascists? How do we get them on-board and deradicalize them?” But we can’t and never will.
We’ll just continue without them as they fade into the marginalia of history.
The problem is the crazies started getting voted into office. Not a ton, but enough now to start driving the party narrative. They don't listen to reason, they don't compromise, and they have no grip on reality. They would rather burn it all to the ground than let one more gay person get married, one more woman make her own health care choice, or etc. Their own party doesn't even know wtf to do about it.

I get that feeling too, like in 50 years when the rest of the world is studying what went wrong with the US, 2016-2024 will be the time period that they will be looking at...
This has been building up for a lot longer than that. Some people post to Reagan, but it's even older than that. I'd put it back to the early televangelist starting to get involved in politics. Swaggart, Graham, Roberts, Hubbard, Bakker, Falwell, and especially Pat Robertson. Bastard even tried to run for president.
The two-party system gotta end so the big parties can split and leave their history behind. You could have another party born out of bernier-aoc-warren with better PR called People of America or.some shit, with actual socialist policies, but it probably would not make them as mad, because their grievances are with the "Democrats", you know, like a rival football team.
problem is the its up to the Democrats and Republicans to choose to end the 2 party system. Which will never happen because they are both drunk with power.
I have spent my whole life advocating and voting for change and its clearly not working. maybe we can get the majority unionized and create a power block so big it cant be ignored anymore... but otherwise I just dont know what to do.
Maddock was expelled from the Republican caucus by Speaker Jason Wentworth in April 2022 for allegedly violating confidentiality rules.[5] Maddock claimed his expulsion was retaliation for his support of Kristina Karamo and Matt DePerno in the Republican primaries.
These people don't even like each other, how can you live your life surrounded by so much hate?
