    Think the nation really needed to go through all this so everybody will look for better candidates across the board

      Hopefully. But we also could have said that after Trump’s first term. We were able to stomach all that, including Jan. 6, and react with a basic desire to trust the system and stop thinking about politics.

      So I’m hopeful that this could be a catalyst for improvement, but we shouldn’t ever get complacent that finally everything is just going to work out for the better.

        Very true, the 1st time though they did not feel much consequences since we had a more balanced admin with dems in. This time they too feel it in every way since all the shit is unleashed.

        But I agree fully with you it is the catalyst for improvement needed. I would also say both sides are seeing that their side does not represent them which is another one. The old legacy dems on dems side, and the current “admin” for right both don’t have our interests in mind and need to be replaced. They both are supporting each other indirectly in various ways too when you really look into it.

        Think/feel based on observations people on both sides are waking up to the top being rotten for both in different ways and seeing that doing together to take back our country on our sides and together is needed. Left is becoming more progressive actually, the right is becoming more down to earth with non-maga growing. At end of the day it comes back to all of us working together and reversing this shit too. Our international allies are helping us as well. Let’s keep going and never get complacent!! We got to this point from doing and we always keep getting better!

        So we all got this!! The more of us we get active, the more united, more together in communities online and in-person doing, and more focused the stronger we all are!!

          Don’t trust anyone on the right who’s only waking up now. Welcome whatever period of lucidity they have, but if they had moral or philosophical objections to MAGA fascism, they would have left before now. I know a few conservatives who turned away when things started turning obviously fascist, but every other one who stuck past that has only had limited periods of “I actually don’t like that” before being suckered back in by some new propaganda campaign.
