Showing Original Post only (View all)How do we figure out how to do what they do, because it's why they win. [View all]
On their side youve got gun nuts, anti abortion radicals, sovereign citizen nutjobs, misogynists, Christian nationalists, and a whole Pandoras box of cultists, oddballs, and boogaloo boys. No idea how they manage it, but when it comes time to vote, they are marching in lockstep. Doesnt make a lot of sense because theres no reason for them to unify except to own the libs. But they always do.
We form a circular firing squad.
How does this happen?
The obvious alternative is that Im wrong, that there are a hell of a lot more of them than there are of us, and I need to at least admit that this might be a possibility.
But thats even more depressing.

Unlike Spain, Italy and Germany, I think there are enough powerful people to halt the takeover.

Decades of RW media, especially RW talk radio, which has been particularly effective in rural areas.

They win by lying, cheating, and stealing. If we do that, their natural retort is "Eveybody does it"
