    No they pearl clutch and love America and the democracy it has. But they have been taught that Democrats/Liberals are horrible, disgusting people. It’s a knee jerk reaction at this point. My brother, who is hardcore maga, said “no I don’t think they are talking about you. You aren’t a ‘liberal’”. Like he was saving me from a terrible slur. And I had to nicely tell him that I am, in fact, liberal.

    It kind of feels like the hatred against “the gays” in the 90s. They need someone to hate and right now it’s the Democrats and liberals, and I guess everyone else the media has told them to hate (lgbtq, trans, etc).

        It’s a 1 party system.
        No matter what side of it, it supports the genocider state, multinationals, bombing brown people and terrorizing the rest of the world.
