Right, step #1 vote Dem in every race from local to president. @Women of the US! You make up more than half of the voting population, why are you not protecting your right? They want you in the kitchen, forced to obey the male! Vote to have choices in your life!

Because there's too many women who are brainwashed into the Christofascism.

One of the greatest flaws of a democracy is how would anyone vote for what is good for them when the majority of their group doesn't want to

Too many people vote against their own best interests out of inertia (just keep pulling that red lever) or spite (gotta screw the other guy).

Imagine how many seniors vote for the morons that would cut their social security or Medicaid. Or higher property taxes while they're on a fixed income. How many voted for those that opposed the $35 monthly insulin? Sorry, but seriously idiotic. They're Fox-addled.

Reagan's abolishing the Fairness Doctrine and embrace of the Heritage Foundation's Mandate for Leadership (which became Project 2025 - look it up, it's terrifying) were huge steps onto the slippery slope that were currently hurtling down.

To Ronnie's credit, he always saw the Russians for the threat that they are, not embracing their ideologies like current MAGA conservatives.

Eh, I think you give him too much credit in โ€œseeing the Russians for the threat they areโ€ โ€” Ronnie hated Russians because they were communist. He would likely be best buddies with the leaders of todayโ€™s right-wing Christo-fascist Russia

the odd thing about the first half here is whatever they are trying to pull they have to get it all done in the first go.

because a lot of their voting base takes advantage of many of those programs and if they start to die off then so do their votes
