Summary: Republicans are 50/50, everyone else is strongly opposed.
Jesus Christ I had some hints that Republicans would be coming to their senses, but fucking 50/50?!? These people are fucking lost, too far gone. They are beyond normal legal or democratic avenues. This is a violent, fascist authoritarian cult, and they need to be stopped.
If they don’t change their minds when their country threatens real hostilities against former allies, then they will not be swayed by anything except force, combined with real, uncompromising economic destruction.
Americans will need a general strike and armed protests at this point.
They love authoritarianism, more than they love other people, democracy, anything. There’s a certain amount of neural wiring involved, as people lean into it, their amygdala grows larger and their fear of “others” and “chaos” intensifies.
When I saw my mom posting a fundraiser for the Ice murderer’s family last week, I realized a cop could beat me to death in front of her, and she’d tend to his bruised knuckles in apology. That was the very last straw, I don’t know her anymore.
there was brain scan study to confirm this a while ago, the amgydala is larger on average compared to non-conservatives.
What happens if you change political party then?
I imagine your opinions have shifted and therefore your brain is already literally changing by the time you drop the party.
i wonder if it does if they “saw the error of the ways” voted a “left” party, does it shrink or does it stay hypertrophied?
