Because of a massive cultural shift away from their old ways and a massive influx of financial assistance.
This country is stuck on stupid. Religious extremism, greed and ignorance are not only acceptable here, its the normal and expected behavior of our society. Our society praises cruelty and indifference to those on the edges of our society, those that society has decided it's ok to hate, from immigrants to women. The only safe demographic is "white, male, Christian"

To be non-Christian or educated or have empathy for others, or be an immigrant or person of color or LGBTQ+ or just a woman is now the abnormal behavior. That which society does not like.

Until that changes, there can be no recovery.

So many "leaders" went along with the racist crap.
If I feel that contradiction so very strongly, eventually more people will.
I guess the "best" we can expect is that the cult condenses to the 26% or so max that cults reach and they are marginalized.

The best, the ONLY cure to WhiteChristianNationalism, race baiting, mysogyny, etc. is WINNING

"Our Society" is a bunch of fascist wannabes who control the media. Wish I had the answer to that. I think I wrote Micheal Bloomberg to buy them all out (if he could) and bring some more neutral position to them. No real chance.

We have to attack them at the margins and get back in power, at least to undo some of the damage, and when their bloived Fuhrer is gone, let them splinter.

Many of our problems are the result of the dis-proportional representation in the Senate.

Are they bold enough to play hardball and use Tramp / GOP tactics to make things right? I dunno.

That as a slam. But we have a ton of older democrats in office who drank the Austeriry tea of Reagan and Thatcher and became "new democrats"... our usual centrist dems joined them and raised the next gen in that unholy milieu instead of teaching them and raising them in the FDR politics which actually won us elections and helped everyone. Until we get back to those basics, im afraid democrats, like the repugs, are going to be wandering the deserts while the rest of us just die.

Only elect Dems who support expanding the court to 13 seats, and support killing the filibuster to do so.

By neutralizing the MAGA majority on the court, Dems can then begin the hard work of restoring democracy and repairing the damage from the Trump era, without fear of legislation getting blocked in the senate or overturned by the court.

Is there a genius somewhere to make sure lies for greed are made illegal in telecommunications, not just on "broadcasting" but EVERYWHERE?

I doubt it exists.

The people will reward them with majorities for a generation, and Republicans won’t get another trifecta opportunity to “reverse” (whatever that means) the progress made by Dems that benefits the lives of all Americans.

After Dems expand the court, they can:

Raise the minimum wage
Restore reproductive rights
Make the ACA subsidies permanent
Repeal the Trump tax cuts for billionaires
Reinstate the Child tax credit
Forgive student loan debt
And so much more to repair the damage of the Trump era.

They can do it all without fear that legislation would be blocked by the filibuster (because they will have killed it to expand the court) or that new laws would be overturned by the MAGA majority on the court.

electing more Democrats looks more promising at the mid-term.

My point is it doesn't matter.
They will just ignore every law passed by Congress they don't agree with and drag out litigation for years trying to force them to do it. Because at the end of the day, there has been no accountability for this administration and none coming.
Kegseth is a perfect example. He is absolutely guilty of war crimes but this Republican DOJ is never going to file that case. No court of law will ever hold this administration accountable for its actions.

It’s our last chance.

Accountability IS coming.

"Interestingly, it appears to be mostly through gross incompetence and grift and racism and misogyny and bigotry and xenophobia, then an actual plan."

Very eloquent and a bullseye as to how any intelligent person views the current situation.........

It would appear that as a nation, we have definitely reached the point of no return, and/or checkmate in November 2024......

...but I cannot allow myself to stay there. So I turn my mind to other things, cooking, painting, dancing, while ALSO putting my feet on the ground and doing the work with other Democrats. I do my best everyday to behave as if we have a fighting chance to save this Democracy. If we ever lose that hope, we truly are cooked. Our individual contributions may not add up to much, but the millions of Americans who are working to turn it around--far more than the ones working to destroy us--makes a HUGE difference. Do the work, knowing your contribution is important and you are not alone. Then enjoy a good meal, a great book, music album, a walk in the park, petting your dog...whatever it takes to take care of yourself so you can battle another day.

They're implementing Project 2025 at breakneck speed, surprising themselves even. It's all written.
