Please do not quoteRepublicans Right wing Trump party don't have to beat democrats. Democrats beat themselves: infighting, blame, and not supporting anything unless every problem in the world is addressed (pick one, any one is a reason not to vote unless addressed).
Meanwhile, the right wing has basically one voice, one unified message, and a very well funded media empire liberals ignore as it beats them over the head.
https://www.yahoo.com/news/why-does-no-one-understand-152523953.htmlA lot of it is lies, effective ones. Many didn't hear about them on social media. Cats and dogs being eaten in Springfield, Ohio was a lie boomers and many gen X heard on radio in their cars. This has been building since Rush Limbaugh gobbling up "failing" media industries, which means "available at a discount," to be purchased by Sinclair Group and IHeart_____ (Formerly Clear Channel). The liberals love the techy things and maybe that's good for the younger voters, but those are also more prone to protest votes.
Radio isn't dead. It's just slow motion rebranding as podcasts.
Cable TV isn't dead. It's slow motion rebranding as streaming.
Newspapers aren't dead, but they are sicker than radio and cable because rebranding as websites means reading....
It's a sophisticated propaganda machine combined with 40 or 50 years of education funding cuts.
"I love the poorly educated," Trump. "Shut down the Department of Education" Trump.
No, it has nothing do to with "local control" of education or parent's rights. "Sending Abortion back to the states," is crap too.
It's all a power grab. Getting abortion out of the federal courts and into anywhere else (States) is so a national ban can happen.
Getting Education out of the federal government and anywhere else is the the same. Why do you think Trump supporters are running for school board positions as school board meetings have recently become violent affairs. They used to be sleepy meetings.
Abortions out of fed courts ---> States ---> National Ban
Education out of fed ---> (They don't care where) ---> Unified policies spread by
radio podcasts and
cable streaming.
They're going to ban transgender things ----> banning gay things ---> more racism lies like "Slavery was a work program"
"The Florida State Board of Education’s new standards includes controversial language about how “slaves developed skills which, in some instances, could be applied for their personal benefit,” according to a 216-page document about the state’s 2023 standards in social studies, posted by the Florida Department of Education."
https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/new-florida-standards-teach-black-people-benefited-slavery-taught-usef-rcna95418“How can our students ever be equipped for the future if they don’t have a full, honest picture of where we’ve come from? Florida’s students deserve a world-class education that equips them to be successful adults who can help heal our nation’s divisions rather than deepen them,” Andrew Spar, president of the union, said in the statement.
“Gov. DeSantis is pursuing a political agenda guaranteed to set good people against one another, and in the process he’s cheating our kids," Spar said. "They deserve the full truth of American history, the good and the bad.”
The union said it is troubling that at the high school level, the standards conflate the 1920 Ocoee Massacre, when at least 30 African Americans were killed for attempting to vote, with “acts of violence perpetrated by African Americans.” And in middle school, the standards require students be taught slavery was beneficial to African Americans because it helped them develop skills, the union said.
There needs to be more education funding put to good use and more diverse media before the "alternative" (right wing) gobbles up the remainder of the "main stream" (CBS, ABC, NBC, independents etc).
So yes, by all means protest vote or don't because XYZ policy isn't perfect. Pick an issue, any one around the world.
Don't like the Biden climate change fixes not doing enough? Trump and Moreno want no electric cars and more gas cars.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/hungarys-pm-orban-says-trump-will-quit-ukraine-war-forcing-eu-rethink/ar-AA1tJU38Yes, it shouldn't be a "lesser of two evils" choice. We don't have it. Take something imperfect but trying; or something actively against what you want. Looks like a lot of people couldn't get everything they wanted immediately as they wanted it, so they complained about Biden. The result: Red wave. Trump won't care about Gaza, he uses "Palestinian" as an insult. Good luck everyone.
