Ah. Got it. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy to know conservatives don't actually want me dead, they just want to make the dems look bad and make everyone feel better! /s
You know dems don't just focus on this like conservatives right? This is not the flex you think it is.
To the uneducated and religious South? You bet. And that's it. That's all they do outside of enrich themselves and their owners.
There are no solutions to be found with conservatives, just messaging and hate. They attack minorities and then spout how dems "hate you" because they show compassion and try to protect vulnerable groups. Imagine how the opioid crisis (which is utterly raping middle America) could be handled if conservatives spent a tenth of that energy on fixing it instead of attacking trans people, immigrants, and minorities.
You can say the messaging is off, but it's "poor messaging" vs "literal, honest to God fascists". There's no comparison. This'll be my last reply, you have nothing of substance to say.
The 50 are NOT more important than the 50,000,000.
Get over yourself.
You help the masses first with common, widespread problems. Those are the people who can in return get you reelected and help you grow the movement to help others. The 10 people here or the 20 people there or the 60 people over there don't. They don't move the needle when it comes to national support. They don't have the numbers to keep you in power and they only breed resentment when the masses see one political party waste all its time, money and energy trying to help them at the expense of the suffering masses.
You are selfish to put the needs of the teeny, tiny, fringe ahead of the millions who represent the masses.
