When you have this much of a populace disengaged or filled with straight up disinformation, misinformation and propaganda that can be amplified by the Internet I don’t know that there is a way back. We are only almost 2 years from Jan 6 where most of the Republican leadership, despite the fact that the mob was coming for them and their colleagues, wanting to assasinate the Vice President and their leader being fine with that as well as instigating a coup attempt, downplaying it or just lying about it and yet they are still favored to win the midterms. All while running on trans people are coming to get you, CRT etc and nothing to actually improve peoples lives. In a sane country they wouldn’t be allowed anywhere near the halls of power. But white supremacy is a hell of a drug and this bodes ill for the future.
