General Discussion

If it is true that more than half of Americans read below the 6th grade level, that focus groups had no idea what the word "authoritarian" meant, and there was a portion of voters who didn't know Joe Biden had dropped out of the race, it is hopeless. Add to that the various voting groups who wanted to punish the "other", whether that be those who wanted to own the libs, incels who hate women, Latinos who identify as white, Christian fanatics, white women who manifest their own jealousy of successful women, along with basic religiosity, racism and misogyny, the list goes on and on. Lastly, there are the cult members who have gone all in to deny reality. What should we have done differently or better? How are you going to reach people who think you are evil because you are a democrat?

I am not saying to give up, there needs to be an analysis of what went wrong and how to move forward. But hindsight is always 20/20. Just stop. I truly believe that until these groups suffer the consequences of what they voted for, there is no strategy that would have or will save us. Pain will hopefully break the fever or wake up some people to understand what "authoritarian" means. I'm tired of twisting myself in to a pretzel for those who insist upon destroying themselves, us, and democracy because of their ignorance and hate.
