I wonder if the Germans felt like we do when Hitler was coming to power. A disbelief that normal people could be so evil, and then horror when it was somehow legitimized.

When I was growing up, I always thought it was like 80% of Germany that believed in the whole white-super-man, but maybe it was 20%, or maybe less.

I just can’t believe that half of America approves of what’s going on. I can’t believe that 20% is so mad that the immigrants that they want to put them in Auschwitz style cages.

I wonder if all Americans are going to be branded something like “Nazi” like the Germans were.

    Give them a reason to vote and they will.

    Republicans gave 77 million people a reason to vote for Trump… the 2nd time around… after a global pandemic.

      The reason to vote is a civic duty and making your life better/society better.

      Fuck people waiting for some saint to come.

        Never designed something have you? Moral arguments only work on some people, and they probably voted. Everyone else needs incentive.

          Yup. Do it because I said so will work on some people. But not enough people to get a Democrat in office.

          People are tired. They don’t see an incentive or a reason. That’s not a voter problem. It’s a problem for whoever wants them to vote for a specific person.
