It’s depressing how much progress has seemingly fallen apart before my eyes. I know some things are generally better than the have been. But these attacks are exhausting
Yeah, at this point, having the “if the Republicans win, my way of life is basically over” thing constantly over my head is really draining.
Agreed. I’m doing my damnedest not to catastrophize, but it’s hard when one of the two major political parties in this country is running on a platform specifically demonizing and targeting my community and people like me in particular.

And here is the historical data chart
My 2¢ as someone who runs a lot of sentiment surveys…
I could be wrong, but the Dem dip feels like it could be normal survey noise. It seems to go up and down about 4 to 5% from the historical trend line. Also, progressives are kind of a bit more of a noisy respondent group. You have less old folks, less land lines, less people with the time / energy to talk to researchers.
The GOP dip though… that looks like it’s abnormal compared to the historical trend line.
Anyone who is a Republican at this point is actively supporting the white power / Christian nationalist movement and the fascist takeover. That is to say, they’re in support of the purification movement and genocide whether or not they personally believe in the culture war or are a fiscal conservative loyalist.
43 years of failed fiscal conservative policy only served to accelerate the Republican party toward fascism and the Trump takeover of the GOP during the 2015-2016 primary. So it essentially was fascism all along.
This was always the point of the “groomer” rhetoric and the attacks on trans people; the total removal of rights for LGBTQ people. Just like assaults on abortion access, where the point is to eventually remove all women’s rights.

I wish the left (the real left, not corporate Democrats) were half as good at strategy as conservatives are. It’s a shame such brilliance is wasted on the worst people on the planet.
When the vast majority of people get “the news” from outlets that are all ultimately owned by a few specific billionaires … this is a surprise outcome to you?

This is disgusting. 8 years ago people where getting to the point where they would say “why did it take us so long?” Now it’s sharply sliding backwards.
Just like the GOP with climate change. Full on aggressive denialism is back on the menu. Now that people are in echo chambers, reality can be whatever you want it to be.
Huh, I think Republicans are immoral after decades of actual grooming and convictions.
