The far-right authoritarians are also so immune to reality. Why isn't the fact that voters in rural states keep voting for them a real drag on the Republican party?
I agree 100%. But those right-winged crazies are goner, but the Dems just cannot afford to lose votes in swing districts. I happen to live in one of those and my representative gets dragged for stupid things done by the council of the big city next door. My point is, the Dems have to be perfect politically in order to have a shot, whereas the Rights can literally go crazy and they still likely win. But what choices do we have if we don’t try?
