> But those consequences will have been arrived at honestly
The problem with that is that Republican voters will not be the first, and certainly not the only, people to experience those consequences. Nor will they be the ones to suffer the majority, and especially not the worst, of them.
The electorate at large eventually learning their lesson is cold comfort to anyone that warned of this, and suffered regardless
- sp527 18d ago> The electorate at large eventually learning their lesson is cold comfort to anyone that warned of this, and suffered regardless The problem with this statement is that, in context, it clearly only prioritizes the interests and suffering of particular groups. MAGA emerged because an altogether different group was completely disenfranchised by neoliberalism and ignored for a very long time. But it turns out they were still a major part of our country and they still had voting power. So did the system actually break or did it work precisely as intended?
