In reply to the discussion: Can anyone explain why we're so hated? [View all]tulipsandroses
(8,181 posts)28. Yep. I've seen posts where people hate what trump is doing but refuse to support Dems because of "DEI"
Rogan alluded to it recently - Its dems fault that people voted for republicans because republicans let you say what you want and Dems are assholes.
Its just too much to ask not to be a racist, bigot, misogynist. Its just too much for them.
None of this is about policy. The immigration fight is not about policy. Its about the fear of minorities " taking over".

Pretty hard to have that discussion when people have to watch what they say or be banished and silenced

I would hope 2024 was a big enough wake up call that the party won't once again fall for the "Everything's Fine" spin

I had an ex brother in law in the early 90's that used to refer to my husband and I as the looney liberals
