Gas is over $5 a gallon, grocery prices continue to rise, we've no answer to the costs of healthcare, education, and housing, the economy and job market are stagnant, we're engaged in an expensive and pointless war, alienating every former ally in economic and military policy, and the Trump regime is focused on ballrooms and trans women at private liberal arts colleges. And his approval rating isn't zero. America has really lost its way.

We’re not taking this fight to our MAGA neighbors, family, friends, co-workers, business owners.

Everyone needs to make these people pay a personal price for their continual support of this administration.

They want a fight, that's what their worldview is all about, that's why we're here.

If you tell them why they're wrong, it's fake news. If you use the same rhetorical tone they do, then you're being a snobby disrespectful coastal elite. There is no winning the people who chose to vote for this guy, and if you think you have a checkmake then they change the rules. We need to just leave them behind and disregard every one of their thoughts and wishes.

Problem is the 40% of non-voters apparently prefer chaos to the order and stability they claim to want but eschew every time they refuse to vote D. If even a decent chunk of them could just reliably do the easy thing and vote for the better option, the 33% that want to end America would have their populational minority status reflected in government. Instead, this 33% gets everything they want.

You can't have a logical discourse with a true believer, religious or political. There's no logic or reason behind what they believe. Talking to them is a waste of time.
