    because didn’t Democrats hate Trump as much as Republicans hate Biden?

    which only proves that anyone in power should go as hyperleft as humanly possible

    I honestly think they can't hate you any more if they tried--also they're too dumb to actually hate based on your policies

    hell at this point some galaxy-brain socialist needs to run as a republican and just trick bazinga-brains into supporting socialist stuff

      Among at least SOME, that idea seems to be catching on slightly.

      Like, my brother is a hyper-partisan Warren lib who doesn't identify as progressive. A few months ago my parents were questioning why progressives disliked Biden so much, and before I could even say anything he started laying it out and saying "next time this happens, progressive shouldn't vote Dem. They have every right to be SO mad right now"

      EDIT: I forgot to mention that my brother works in politics and is a SELF-DESCRIBED democratic operative lmao. To put it into even more perspective lmao

        Especially in solid blue states I think this could work on the state level, at least as much as electoralism ever can

        Republicans may have a few strongholds in blue states but they're mostly a joke, the only time they ever win any office like mayor or governor is when the dems fuck up a bit too bad

        Just completely reject the national party after taking it over on the local level and keep doing that until there are no regular chud republicans at any level of state government

        If this catches on we could call ourselves John Brown Republicans, fuck MAGA because :amerikkka: was never great but maybe we can restore the only shard of good the republican party ever had
