While it’s not bad, this result still means hard core MAGA will never vote for the Democratic Party. Hopefully Democrats won’t extend an olive branch to these folks because they’ll only try and beat the crap out of us with it.

We really need firewalls against these people. Keep taxes close to where they’re collected and have communities invest their resources into government services with matching $ at the state and federal levels. Don’t help people who don’t want it.

They believe more in conspiracy theories than political organizing. Dem turnout was also low but not by as much.
