    You’re being too lenient. It’s not just Republicans, they’re only 1/3 of the population, the even bigger issue is the “moderate” and “apolitical” people that make up another 1/3…these people will loudly oppose anything and everything but blatant extreme right wing authoritarianism, in fact they’ll get more upset about the final 1/3 of the population that’s against authoritarianism than they will ever get at literal dictators.

      And you represent the real problem, in my opinion.

      bOtH pArTiEs need to stop treating independents like shit. It doesn’t help you. You REQUIRE independents to win, perhaps you should stop treating them with contempt? Maybe do what they want… like stop supporting Israel?

      You might THINK not supporting Israel is “blatant extreme right wing authoritarianism”, but independents don’t agree with you. Have a little respect… a tiny bit.

      Just an idea.
