@jeffjarvis the dumming down is a tried & tested method of #autocratic regimes to rapidly phase out any worthwile opposition & dissent. My prediction, the effect of this dumming down will shows itself in clear daylight during the #midterms2026 when despite the majority’s hope odpf change there will not be a #bluewave as the #trumpadministration will have gutted all the smart (& thinking) election officials

RE
#MAGA “this isn’t what I voted for”

#Presidentialelections come down to a handful of #battlegroundstates

That creates a sense that their ballot doesn't matter

There are still plenty of #downballot candidates

US voter turnout hasn't cracked 70% since the dawn of the 20th century

Come on don't let the #conman make you #stayhome #vote #midterms2026 #midterms

@MEActNOW #vote #midterms2026 I hate to say it because the #Democrats really aren't doing anything to stop #trump's #tyranny , but y'all living in a two-party system. So, #VoteDemocrat

@pixelpusher220

the pridefully #ignorant ones will endlessly blame shift away from their own #entitled #privileged indolence

the question is do they outnumber the ones who can have their eyes opened via the suffering they bring onto us by not #voting/ voting for #bigoted #plutocrat #malice

some have the bare minimum of heart to go "i was wrong"

if they are not enough? too late?

then we are truly fucked

#maga #voters, #nonvoters: i absolutely despise you

@inthehands @StillIRise1963 @tarheel

why i'm posting this now

#midterms2026 means enough #democrats to stonewall #trump

but as the time draws near you will hear the same old whiny lies:

"both sides the same"

"corruption is everything"

"nothing matters"

"waah waah"

some of it is real #toxicidealism

some of it is #geopolitical #trollfarm #psyop

advertising their fake #leftist bonafides, like an american flag profile on #twitter injecting a #maga #kremlin agenda

people fall for it

@tarheel

when i castigate #nonvoters i hear:

"you're turning them off"

fuck that

if someone lacks the capacity to see the stakes, that's on them

it's not our job to soothe and trick them with emotional appeal. that's #MAGA tactics

what's happening now is they are learning consequences

the hard way

*even then* they will shift blame. never taking ownership of their #alienation

the problem is them

not how insensitive we are to their fucking precious feelings

#vote #midterms2026 you fucks

not voting is exactly like being #antivax

morons on the right are worked over to abandon their own health because they are ignorants is *exactly* the same as morons on the left worked over to abandon their own rights because they are airheads

fuck the social obligation arguments: it's pure self-interest

the #democrats suck, of course

as if it's a fucking romance!

#midterms2026 #vote and reign in #trump, you assholes

@MEActNOW @mcr314 the #democrats in the #congress don't really do there homework. They should furrily* #opposition against the #Trump - #Musk administration! They don't have a majority but that doesn't stop them slowing down all progress in the parliament. They should use everything they got to delay these insane bills/appointments etc. Sadly they're just waiting for the sane US citizen to vote democrats in #midterms2026

*is that even a word?

@RickiTarr

#Midterms2026 #Midterms

Whiny voices soon on #Mastodon:

"both sides the same"

"i oddly focus on only one issue where #Democrats aren't perfect"

"nothing matters, all is #corruption"

and other #toxicIdealism #psyop

these are not organic voices

they will trumpet their #leftism bonafides like Russian #trolls on Twitter with #MAGA flags but they are #agentProvocateur divide and conquer

don't get me wrong:

yes, the Democrats suck

but if you don't see the choice?

oof

@GreenFire
RE
changed their #voter registrations

That's a good idea, some of the 89 million _registered_ who did not vote in the Nov 2024 election, change your err... party? from Independent or Republican to the Democratic Party. But, these changes will not been reported widely, but maybe it will get some registered folks to #VOTE2026
