If you say so, but that's like, your opinion man.
Allegedly over 50% of voting Americans believe that a pedophile with dementia is a good choice for leadership.
1) You have to prove to them he's a pedo; the GOP did not go hard enough on the evidence found in that regard, and so a lot of the US didn't believe the claims.
2) It's also possible that a large number of people who voted for Trump in 2016 did not in 2020, because he proved he was not competent at the job. So many may have simply wanted anything but another 4 years of dealing with Trump as POTUS.
I was speaking more about how Leftist agents keep provoking the lower classes against the tax paying classes. Thus creating a dangerous situation where politicians are incentivized to fan class conflicts to create a regime where the middle and higher are forced to pay high taxes without getting anything in return, not even safety, because the poor always outnumber the rich.
This is especially common in less advanced economies.
There are issues with that, for sure.
But there is no cure for 'people will usually vote themselves more money if they can', nor should there be, because both sides do it, just under different rhetorical headings.
If the GOP cannot put forward a better offering to the public, and cannot figure out how to stop shooting itself in the foot in media/PR messaging, then it doesn't take rigged elections for the GOP to lose ground.
But at least for now, the Democrats aren't truly being controlled by the Left. Their relationship- at least for now- is more similar to the Reagan coalition. The bosses are manipulating the radicals like BLM or the Squad for votes, but the reins are in the hands of relatively moderate people.
The Dems were being controlled like that, up till Oct 7th showed the massive fault line in the Dems that is the Israel/Palestinian conflict.
Now that it's coming out groups like BLM funneled money to Hamas and friends, and that some of the Dems radicals are the types who might be fine burning synagogues, the Dems 'coalition' is much weaker than they have been in decades.
Blue Dogs like Fetterman are also much more effective at pushing back against wokeness from inside the Dems, where it is slightly more effective than when the GOP does it.
Mind you, this isn't a status quo that's going to stay stable. You can't ride a tiger indefinitely. If the Democrat leadership thinks they have truly tamed these psychos, they'll learn different when their leaders start getting targeted for assassination by radicals who want to coerce them into turning more left.
I think the Dems were willing to ride the tiger, up till Oct 7th; after what Hamas did, and BLM's connections to them, the Dem base has new fracture lines in it that were not nearly so visible before.
Of course, those senile grifters will be down with Satan by then, so they roibably don't care. As always, we'll pay the price for our fathers' sins.
The grifters on both sides are what is really killing America, and the fringes usually are part of the grifters, because they need the grifting money to keep their fringe shit profitable enough to do marketing with.
Those 'moderates' were never actually conservative.
Maybe stop expecting moderates to become conservatives, instead of vote conservative when the Right appeals to them more than the left.
The GOP needs moderates, not the other way around, and when the GOP shits on people for being 'moderates' instead of full-on conservatives, it shows why the GOP is incompetent at media and PR messaging.
I mean after all, you're just doing the same 'struggle session' purity spiral bullshit that drove moderates away from the Left when they did the same over Progressive bona fides.
The GOP has to convince moderates to vote for it, not demand they become 'conservatives' in order for the party to care about them.
Moderates have leverage over the GOP, not the other way around.
