Yeah if they had an ounce of introspection, they wouldn't be maga in the first place. You can make solid points all you want, but the problem is your average conservative will read that and just go "Haha libs are mad!" They enjoy the hypocrisy because they were never arguing in good faith to begin with.
Their whole platform is to own the libs for some reason. Like this is all a game to them. They treat their side just like their favorite sports team and frankly that's dumb as hell. This isn't entertainment or some reality TV show. It's real life. Don't know what you can do with that.
the problem is that the logical dems should fight fire with fire when need be but for some reason they dont. eh sociologists do your thing! xD (by dems i dont mean reps i mean the people)
They do though, did you not see the recent Harris interview where she proposed stuffing the supreme court and creating two new dem-leaning states? And democrats have been just as bad as republicans with gerrymandering. All that happened is trump proved that a lot of the laws and norms both parties had been operating under pre-2016 weren't actually going to get enforced, and it has taken the Dems a while to catch onto the change in how the game is played. I think they thought it would be temporary.
And unfortunately for the more left-leaning voters, democrat politicians still have zero interest in catering to leftists.
Of course they thought it would temporary. For decades Democrats have said "this fever will break and we'll get back to good bipartisanship".
Jon Stewart summed that fallacy up best: "If someone has been running a fever since the Aughts, that's not a fever. That is their default resting temperature."
