this was clear from back in 2016

millions of people knowingly voted for him.

millions of people didn't vote cause of gaza (or cause both parties are the same)

his own VP called him a Nazi

now all these people will vote him out cause gas prices are high

i still won't be able to talk to them

you might be right. it's known that Republicans increase unemployment and the national debt. but millions vote for them anyway.

my parents gleefully watch fox news and right wing talking heads all day everyday, they are completely insane, and all of their friends and a lot of my extended family are right there with them. everyday i hope the new extreme insane mask off thing that drops will have them changed and capable of interacting with me, but it never happens, they just become more and more discusting cheering it all on and dismissing the impact. they love trump today just as much as 2 years ago and will vote like the discusting pawns they are, and there are shit loads more people just like them and worse. They think the gas prices and any other problems that emerge is something they bravely have to endure for their leaders master plan. They think the war is some important strategic part of making america great again. There is nothing i can say or do to help them either, they see me as a dumb animal who doesnt understand the real truth that they do no matter what i say or do. They have been cut off by beloved family members and still wont change and dont care. This is the reality of the maga cult i think people who dont have to be around it dont realize, i see it everyday because i am stuck living with them.

I'm sorry you have to live with them, sounds exhausting.

it absolutely sucks, not just because of them either, but i do have a lot to be greatful for to in the scheme of things and i mostly try to focus on those things, i have lost a lot of loved ones and i am very aware that life is fragile and short and the blessings we have are so important, not that we should ignore our feelings or the bullshit going on either, but i will say i am happy to use my voice and mind and speak up to anyone who will listen in the current state of hyper-fractured society and its highly curated choose your own custom reality services that keep people from understanding whats really going on with the people around them and counting on just waiting around for outcomes that are never going to happen

They would vote for a democrat if there were:

  1. A viable candidate that actually ran on policies specifically those which doesn’t consist of not being the other party.
  2. They actually gave a shit about solving the numerous problems this country has as opposed to funding special interest groups via nonsense bills.

Free healthcare and childcare polls well even among republicans. The "99% hitler" triangulation strategy that has been conventional wisdom among the dem political class for decades attracts nobody.
