     @jeffowski It’s true but a lot of those same people can be influenced in the correct direction if they aren’t being fed hateful propaganda

     A lot of people really don’t have a strong moral compass

     They suck but castigating them doesn’t seem like it’s gonna do any good? What do you think we should do?

     @maxoakland -- LOL... That's just it... The thing to do was to vote.
     With Trump already holding the Supreme Court and having Presidential immunity, and no checks and balances AT ALL if the House falls like the Senate.
     The system is DESIGNED like this. The GOP can pass laws and the president will sign them, without any vote by a Democrat.
     We are all subject to this system and the only plan for any individual to escape this system were the same for people fleeing Germany/Europe 1930's.

     Yes and no.
     There is sufficient evidence that people can be persuaded with propaganda despite the fact that their core didn't start out racist, or misogynist. It was kind of blank, a non issue until their info sources start to rewire the brain. It is a minority that automatically and constantly question everything and take the time to fact check three ways.

     And there os a way back out:
