@FlexFoot@zirk.us @nora@blob.love That voter is a myth they made up. They're deliberately ignoring what most of the population wants, and manufacturing excuses to chase the Republicans to the right-- because intensifying right-wing oppression is their goal, using Republicans as the bad cop to soften us up for their "good" cop Fascism Lite.
