(22,109 posts)Let's face it: It's hopeless.
A good canary-in-the-coal-mine example is Argentina - which is not that different culturally or ethnically from the U.S.
They've got half the population - most of whom live like supermarket clerks in the U.S. - convinced that the problem is "the indians on welfare, the do-nothing public employees (most of whom are teachers, cops, nurses, etc.), and loudmouth women."
And now that they've got a real Chucky doll as president (a demented puppet of the 1%, far worse than Trump), they'll tell you: "Yes, we're (much) worse off now under Milei - but it's ok, because he's sticking it to the leftists and the lesbians."
Meanwhile - Milei has thrown the country into an out-and-out depression.
A going joke in Argentina has it that before Milei, the (mostly RW) middle class complained but shopped - and now, they're doing neither.
But they're still arguing over...lesbians.
We are, as you know, one bad election from that kind of a nuthouse.
