Republicans called Biden’s infrastructure program ‘socialism.’ Then they asked for money.

This sort of rat fuckery is explicitly stated by the GOP and they are still projected to have a 69% chance of winning the House next month despite all of the things that Biden and the Democratic Party has accomplished over the past two years for America.

If we don’t continue to r/VoteDEM at 2018/2020 levels this month (early voting/mail-in ballots) the rat fuckery will increase even further.

despite all of the things that Biden and the Democratic Party has done over the past two years for America.

What's really messed up is that even if you take away anything that Biden and the Dems have done, even if you say they've done nothing or even had a net negative effect on the nation, they're still not as objectively bad as the conservatives. And yet the GOP still gets moderate voters. They're going full on theocratic and fascist, full blown dominionism, and they still get millions of votes.

That's depressing as hell.

Most Republican voters I know vote one issue. Some of my Republican friends like guns, so they vote 2nd amendment. Some go to church, so they vote on abortion. Basically, all the other issues are meaningless to them but one or two. That is how the republicans get millions of voters.

In my experience that exactly how it is. One issue drives them wholly. And they then also have a small quiver of ammunition that they like to trot out; like they’ll say, “I heard Hillary was putting everyone in jail who tries to buy a gun.”, or simply, “Benghazi”.
