More to the point, it's not really acceptable to accuse people of being stupid based on how they vote. Reasonable people can disagree on things. I strongly disagree with the political views of some of my family members, but that doesn't make them stupid or anything... we just see things differently.

"I've been voting XXX all of my life, and my state has been ruled by XXX over the last 20 years, and the life is still shitty. It's totally a failure of YYY, they want to destroy America"

Usually. Not this time around, though. You can't call yourself a "reasonable person" and vote for the people behind https://i.imgur.com/WQ4qbfj.png .

Sorry. You just can't.


Yes, you can. Stop treating politics like it's an existential battle between good and evil; that attitude is literally destroying our country.


No, people who engage in insurrection and election fraud are literally destroying our country... or trying their hardest to. We are lucky that they're such idiots, but there is no reason to expect our luck to hold indefinitely.

In any case there are other venues where this type of conversation is better held.
