Those are the same reasons people use to vote for Trump. I’m around it all the time. People on both sides are voting out of fear of the other side. Reason and reality are no longer relevant in politics. Only fear.

Because they have a very public plan to completely restructure the government to make Trump a dictator and the US a theocracy. This isn’t normal. They’re openly telling us they’re going to do that.

If you’re not afraid, you’re either trying really hard to not pay attention, or you just hate America and want it to fall.

Okay, what does that have to do with voting?

In current politics: Fears=Votes.

That is the American way. If that is not clear, I can elaborate. But I’m pretty sure you can see it in every comment telling you why to vote a certain way.

“I wouldn’t be affected by project 2025 so there’s no reason for me to care”

Just be honest dude.

Again. That was my point! Fear is controlling us.

Buddy you can go read it yourself. You won’t, because you erroneously think it won’t affect you, but you can.

Okay, but one side uses fear to roll out voting rights while the other takes those same rights away. Fear isn’t controlling all of us because it is up to us in how we respond.
