If the majority of people used force to get what they wanted, it would not be any of the shit that the GOP wanted because they are a minority. The only thing protecting them is that society has accepted to change things through voting instead of violence. Fuck with that at your own peril, dumbass.
It’s a little scary that this environment (social media) leads so many to believe that, but it’s just not reality. At best conservative ideology is at parity with liberal ideology in the US. At worst, it’s actually a slight majority and has been on the rise since 2020. I’d rather we avoid Civil War 2.0 at the risk of actually losing this time.
This is wrong. Public opinion polls on abortion, LGBT rights, climate change, racism, etc. all show healthy majorities in opposition to the Republican party’s policies. The word “liberal” doesn’t do well because of an aggressive multi-decade marketing campaign trashing it, but liberal values are well supported.
You’re forgetting demographics. The elderly is primarily republican, whereas the 40 and under crowd leans heavily democratic.
Most people won’t fight unless the battle is outside their door anyway, and the people who want war would probably need to cross state lines to accomplish anything, in which case they would be going up against the national guard and not just a bunch of hippies in hatchbacks.
Whoever starts the war, should it be started, will lose it, 100%. It won’t even be a contest.

Also the voting rights ast was trashed in 2013

This has been the lime for decades, yet here we are with a large conservative population
Either the age split is wrong, or people become more conservative as they age, repopulating the older demo still voting conservative
The age split is just wrong. The left vastly underestimates those motherfuckers to make themselves feel better, and they do it at their own peril.
What? That doesn’t make any sense
