One giant difference between the right and left here is that the right isn't a small group of racists/sexists. They ALL are. In no way is someone pushing them towards that ideology, they've already chosen it and are just making excuses.
Voting republican makes you racist/sexist? Then voting democrat makes you a genocide lover? Or supporting getting oral sex from employees? Nobody ever votes for one side because it's perceived the less bad option? I'd recommend going out of your bubble and talk to other people, you'll find a lot of them are nice on both sides and you disagree in way less ways than the propaganda wants you to believe.
Yes. Very few people on the left actually liked being stuck with Harris, hence the loss. The MAGA cultists, on the other hand, enthusiastically voted for a geriatric felon / sex pest who is openly racist.
70,980,347 genocide lovers, counting me. I enthusiastically voted, not against a piece of crap of a person, but for genocide. Everyone republican is MAGA, every democrat has posters of dead palestinian kids in their walls. 32 bit colors is a waste, make everything black and white.
Find me a Trump voter who isn't MAGA and I'll find you a Harris voter who supports the genocide 🤷♀️
I know personally 3 people, 2 from work, one neighbor closely. Reasonable, pro equality in all fronts and not MAGA. We still don't agree on abortion (none of them want to ban abortion), guns (none think we should hand AR15s to anyone), how big the government should be. They don't like Trump, but don't want democrats. The "ALL republicans are racist/sexist" is absurd and that's what my last comments are about. While people on both sides demonize and make assumptions on the other side, this divide will keep getting bigger.
And yet they voted for Trump because...?
And you honestly believe their vote for the openly racist queerphobe doesn't make them racist/queerphobic?
If you voted for Hitler in WWII Germany, you don't get out of the negative labels that come with that decision because you "don't like the other party."
