General Discussion

We're losing the war for our democracy and we have to face all the ways the enemies are winning.

They stole the 2000 election and I believe they stole it in 2004 and tried to steal it in 2008. After they failed in 2008, they leaned into their other strategies. Disinformation, propaganda, lies.

We have to look at those strategies and address them. Trump made inroads with non-white voters in 2024. He got the votes of a huge majority of non-college educated people. These folks get their news online, by listening to AM radio and Fox News, and through word of mouth in their communities where groupthink sustains the alternate reality that Trump is terrific.

Trump lost ground among college educated voters and higher-income whites. (Although he still won a majority of white votes, just a little fewer.)

American voters are splitting into two groups: people who are fooled by propaganda and those who are not. Right now, the number of people being fooled is the majority.

If we don't fix that, our democracy is doomed.
