I live because they are voting against good Democrats who support our demographics that are seldom talked about on DU. They think the GOP is going to get people so ticked off they will turn Socialist©.
That's not what history shows as generally the strong men take over in the midst of chaos and the rich reorganize society to get even richer. This is the source of generational wealth and poverty. And those who are resisting this are called bootlickers and other names, when isn't it about the cause of the people and not just the brand name?
The result here is demoralizing voters, the attack on women and POC candidates who don't exist in the Socialist brand name, and appear to hate Democrats just as much as Libertarians do. Now we have a GOP majority in the legislature who are enforcing their ideology while some very good young and old Democrats are fighting back but getting beaten up by both 'sides.' When I see the results IRL, both sides appear to have merged and the rightists win.
And we have a very entrenched, radical right wing in my state that all of us should be fighting together. It's hurting people, by those who should be our allies, but don't see what we do to help real people. Instead they aim for is not going to happen soon if ever.
But people live in the present. They can die now and will have no future. We can't wait.
JMHO.
