    Thing is, Republicans lose wherever they don’t get to cheat. This is for two reasons:

    1. Their policy positions are extremely unpopular with Americans
    2. Their character qualities range from “bad boss” to “fratboy rapist” to “daddy issues”.

    And then the news media continue to present Republican policy positions and candidates as if they were normal American behavior by normal Americans.

    They’re really not. They only win when they cheat.

      What policy positions? Donald J. Trump was president of this country. What part of that tells you that policy positions can break a candidate? Democrat apathy is what decides elections.

        “Anti-woke” is a policy position. It means “Anything we can caricature using black English, it is our intention to harm.”

          People ideologically to the left of “republican” generally believe in human rights, so they haven’t exterminated them.

            The paradox of tolerance is only a paradox when all context is removed from actions.

            IMO, only pacifists and fools should believe in perpetual nonviolence.

              There is a SHITLOAD of pacifists and fools all over this site. They absolutely do not want any form of consequences for the evil of fascism, because “what if the fascists do the same to us?” Not letting fascists have power is never part of their equation.
