We're incredibly fortunate that the GOP is so weird. We need to take advantage of that before that weird becomes normal.

Calling them weird isn't going to work at all, that's an absolutely terrible idea. Everyone wants weird. We need weird right now, just not their weird. We should be upping our weird game and present options that will work, that centrist libs will say are weirdly communist or anarchist sounding.

Things are about to change big time and it's too late to stop that. The best we can do is shape it into something good. But nobody is buying tickets on the normal train. If you're here on Lemmy, then you sure aren't.
