What I seem to be noticing on here is that both Rachel and several of you that comment on here seem to be blaming the Democrats to why Trump won the election. Do you realize though that when you blame the Dems, you are saying that they are the ones responsible for the end of our democracy. I find that to be messed up because the Dems are not the ones that want to do away with our democracy, it's obviously Trump and his allies. Therefore, saying the Dems are the reason to why our democracy is dead is considered to be victim blaming.
What baffles me even more is that there is sufficient evidence so crystal clear that proves that the right wing justices on the Supreme Court deserve more blame than the Democrats to why we're at this point. I mean, there were several polls from late 2023/early 2024 that showed even Biden (who would've done even worse than Harris in the 2024 election had he stayed in) ahead of Trump if, and only if, Trump were tried and convicted for his crimes on J6. This proves that Trump being held accountable for J6 would've badly damaged his campaign no matter what the Democrats did. The Dems were not the reason to why we didn't get the J6 trial, it was because the right wing justices on SCOTUS did everything to prevent it from happening.
I mean, it's one thing to victim blame the Democrats to why our democracy died, but to turn a blind eye to all the evidence that proves that the right wing justices on SCOTUS deserve more blame to why we're at this point makes this more baffling.
Everyone that cares about our democracy and the future of our country needs to get into this fight on whatever level you are able. What has happened is that people's brains are being hijacked by people who want to take control of them to believe what they want them to believe and ignore everything else. This is psychological warfare to take control of your mind! Where to start? Join groups that are in the fight, support media that is focused on making things better, truth telling, and not more of the same, educate yourself about what is happening, think for yourself - do not let others control you and blinding follow them.... A great short book to get started "On Disinformation: How to Fight for Truth and Protect Democracy" by Lee Mcintyre.
