    It’s because we’re all educated enough to have seen similar uprisings fail unless we can gain more support. With times getting hard, Republican voters are starting to turn on their masters.

    Also, last year there were votes (plural) where every single Republican voted to keep the Epstein Files sealed and every single Democrat voted to release them to the public. It’s pretty wild to claim “every government official”.

      both of your statements contradict

      Republicans and democrats would still vote pretty much the same in next elections no matter what happens. America’s cultural divide is too deep now to actually fill

          Yep. Those of us paying attention realize that 1/3 voted for the fascist, 1/3 for Harris and some progress, and 1/3 didn’t bother to care because they’re lazy and didn’t care.

          The only way the tide turns is convincing 2/3 they have to either vote at all or change their affiliation, which is a huge ask given the problem here.

          If theyre in, let’s welcome them. Let’s fix it.
