Because of crafty messaging by Republicans and the stupidity of Republican voters. No offense to any reasonable Republicans on here, but you vote alongside dumbshits. It's amazing to see the kind of bullshit lies and conspiracy theories so many Republicans eat up as facts. Lies that push the country even further right or further into fantasy land. You can't have a legitimate, good-faith political discussion with people who don't believe in the most basic of facts. It's the political equivalent of trying to have a rational discussion with flat-Earthers or people who think the bogeyman is real. You're wasting your time, so why even try.
And a lot of these folks, outside of politics, are very intelligent. My father is a classic example. Incredibly smart man–master's degree in special education; speaks German fluently and is functional in two others; after retiring from teaching, he successfully started his own small business, so he's very business savvy. He's also a musician. Again, very smart guy. But once the conversation turns to politics, he turns into an idiot, gullible of the most insane conspiracy theories and conservative hot-takes. It's gotten so bad that my mother has called me to complain about him.
The point is, when so many conservatives are so far gone, it's impossible to reach them, and the goal no longer is progress or improvement; it's just…normalcy and trying to hang on to things we've already got. We're trying to hang on to things we've taken for granted as basic rights.

>>3768111Yes, the wealthy were getting massive tax breaks compared to the majority of America and now Trump is making that gap even wider. He and his goons are adding even MORE inequality while Elon Musk steals money from the working class and gives it to the 0.1%.

>>3768106Trump is replacing people with a clue how to do their job with unqualified morons whose only qualification is that they are loyal to Trump.
So what happens when Trump dies? He is old as fuck and wildly unhealthy. He could go any day now. What do you imagine will happen then?
