this might carry more weight if the far left hadn't driven the clown car off a cliff lately@CrimsonTider is an accurate representation of American political education. Buddy is a true right-winger, but thinks he isn't because voting Democrat is not, in his mind. Even though if you break down what he wants and believes, it's all to the right of center, and in a lot of cases, far to the right. He doesn't have any political education except from what he sees on the media, which is designed to give him the perspective of the right wing.
He's also a very lazy thinker and has zero intellectual curiosity.

progressives actually think they can craft whatever insane, narrow worldview they want, compromise nothing, and anyone who doesn't 100% align with them is a bad person. there's only one problem; no one believes you

we have 25% of the country crafting a political space that 75% of the country rejects. you're doomed to become a novelty act, confined to dark blue areas
