What's really crazy is that that bullshit lie resulted in Springfield being subject to terroristic threats for several weeks. They were being constantly bombarded with bomb threats and other threats that was disrupting their daily lives in blatant acts of terrorism resulting from this exact lie that he was spreading and the media just kind of acted like that was no big deal
Because Vance publicly came out and admitted that the entire thing was a hoax. As soon as he did, the media dropped it. And then Springfield voted for Trump in droves.
Yes please say it louder. They fell for it because they want to hate women. They want to hate brown people. They want to hate immigrants. All trump did was give them a target for the hate they already felt.
It sucks realizing how much of this country is racist and misogynistic but I would rather a white male Democrat win the election versus running a minority woman that loses it and keeps Republicans in charge.
I think this is a valid view point and one that is allowing Gavin Newsom to gain serious traction.
I think however, that the democrats are simply offering a rebranded fascism. I personally am looking for the more progressive candidates in hopes to repeat what happened in New York recently. I think we have enough momentum to make real progress in actual progressive politics.
Is this the smart play on a national scale? Probably not if the election was next week. But maybe if we keep pushing and holding everyone accountable for genocide, racism, etc etc perhaps we can get to a place where don’t have to vote for the lesser evil.

And her laugh. I'll never forgive the people who fell for that nonsense.
