The problem is it’s so much easier to just paint all Republicans with a broad brush rather than actually try to fix the party. Democrats like myself are just as likely to tend toward tribalism and the “us versus them” mentality.
Good luck routing out the fascists and bigots. I hope the remaining reasonable Republicans can regain some control.
Im pretty well done with the established GOP, it just sucks because for anyone that isn’t very solidly left there is literally nothing that matches your views at all anymore. My wife is way further left than me but is still right of center by the current standards and is really struggling with not having any choices that she can actually support.
I think the alt left violently bullying anyone and assuming control of the DNC, the same way the Trump assholes did to the GOP. But that’s most of Lemmy so they see it as a good thing.

You think people who are “solidly left” have a party that matches their views?

I really, really wish the “alt left” was in control of the DNC, instead of the “middle, bordering on rightwing” that is in control.
