Yes. There are a decent swath of votes who vote Republican but aren't tuned in super well. Studies show that only about 30% support trump directly. That leaves 15% to 20% of his voters who simply vote the party or vote based on "it's better for my wallet"

By running on racism and other distasteful platforms, it will chip into that normies pool, and they are likely to not turn out. Not all of the normies will see it or be affected by it, but if even 5% of the voting population chooses to not vote over voting for trump, it will be a disaster for trump and down ballot Republicans.

I've been working with local groups trying to get it passed. It may be worth investigating if there are some near you. Donate money or time or support.

If I remember correctly, this Olympics started the trend of elaborate opening ceremonies because Hitler wanted to create more fanfare.

Opening ceremonies are legit Nazi shit.

It's almost like they have never actually looked at the lyrics of a green day song.

I am not sure they are even a corporate bootlicker, they might just be an entitled gamer with no empathy.

Either way, fuck em.

It's wild that if multiple things we implemented republicans would never win the presidency again.

Any anti voter suppression method, like universal mail in voting

Ranked choice voting

Removal of the electoral college

I am sure there are even more.

Remember that republicans are the minority, they just show up to vote more often (and aren't actively suppressed)
