    The media is absolutely owned by the wealthy and their sway over the common person is astounding.

    From what I’ve seen (uneducated, informal, observation of recent smaller elections) it seems Republicans are losing ground with their crazy shit from school board seats to municipal/state elections - but this could easily be confirmation bias as I’m not really tracking repuglican scores.

    It seems like regardless of what polls say, general America is fed up with the crazy and partially showing up to vote (or less R participating if they can’t be assed to vote for a D) in less significant elections these days.

    Hopefully it’s a blowout democratic win this year and they can finally close the door on this Christian nationalist, Nazi, Gilead, bullshit across as many levels in for gov’t as possible.

      We’ve been engineered to have a short memory and an even shorter attention span. People who would vote for Republicans doubly so. All Republicans have to do is fly silent for a month or two and most transgressions and fouls will be forgiven. Whereas Democrats are still being held responsible for things they didn’t do nearly 10 years ago.
