50% of Republican voters would be happy if Trump postponed the next elections. I would bet that well over 50% would be happy if the US had sham elections every few years, like Russia. Give it a few more years of FOX and Youtube and a clear majority of white Americans will be in favour of a return to monarchy, with the Trumps as the royal family. If you asked that question of Southern evangelicals now, I have no doubt 70% would enthusiastically say yes.

Congressional Republicans and Republican voters are not merely oblivious, or bribed to look the other way, or trying to salvage what they can while it burns down. In their millions, they want to live in an authoritarian system that enshrines their privilege, keeps minorities and women in their place, and allows the state to use force against neighbours they don’t like. Revealing the truth of what this regime is doing won’t change their mind, or open their eyes. They know the truth already. And they love it.

50% of Republicans is half of 25% of the population (and dropping). DT is losing female evangelicals. His “policies” are beginning to bite, and this will only get worse as the summer continues. So nothing is as hopeless as you’d like us to think.

Furthermore, IT DOESN’T MATTER whether it’s hopeless or not, this battle has to be fought. We need to work on getting to voters, since the press can’t be relied on, and fighting voter suppression, also getting out the vote.

Since we all have to do this no matter what, I wish the people around here with RWNJs apparently living rent free in their heads would work on evicting them. We can all channel them if we want to, it’s getting more than redundant to hear everyone telling us how hopeless everything is, and all of you might be happier without them too.
