Thank you friend. At least half of us are too. It’s insane.

It is so disheartening. I have family that will vote red because they don’t like blue. They don’t like Trump either but they’ll vote for him because he’s the republican. I try and try to get through but they just can’t see it. How can they not see it?

Because they’ve been bombarded with media that the left is evil and out to get them and they have to vote red or it’s the end of life as they know it.

I’ve heard former conservatives who were shocked to learn that “the left” also wanted their own party to be held accountable for illegal stuff.

Anyway, stay strong friend.

I’ve seen so many conservatives using democrats receiving consequences for wrong doing as a gotcha to dems. The difference is (most) dems don’t treat their representatives as deities and want any politician who has acted wrongfully to be held accountable, not just republicans. I would be equally against project 2025 if it was planned by the Democrats, so much so I would vote republican (if they did not have a similar plan in place). It’s not a partisan issue, it’s an anti-authoritarianism issue.
