You seems so sure that midterms will happen
Comment on At this point, what should we do about the ICE Agents and Trump and such?

Well, red voters need to stop voting red this election. That’s the only way we have to hold our elected officials accountable.

It’s not possible for it to not happen. Even if every republican area was complicit, so that they only had to attack democratic cities, they simply cannot attack every place in the country all at once. Also, most authoritarian governments still have elections. They just engage in election fraud, which again, he can’t do in every single place.

Yup. Russia had elections during its last cycle. The outcome may or may not have been pre-determined.

Republicans in Ohio, Missouri, West Virginia, Georgia, Texas, Kansas, South Dakota, and Nevada have other plans. They declared independence from the Trump enterprise recently.

How are we able to get Trump voters to not vote Republican in the midterms and 2028 elections?

Firehose of Counter-Propaganda.
You might not convince them to vote blue, but you can LARP as a right-winger that’s disillusioned with the right and say shit like “both sides are the same”.
Simultaneously, you encourage people left-of-center to go out and vote.

Are you saying one should pose as a Trump voter who wants to NOT vote for Trump just to convince Trump voters to NOT do so?

They need to recognize there is a problem and want to change it.

That won’t happen until they are personally affected.
That’s the single consistent trigger point for every Republican that turns against the party of you’ve been paying attention.
They have to be directly affected .. they have to feel it themselves. They are incapable of feeling empathy for others, that’s why they have the perspective they have and don’t do anything about obvious issues. They don’t think they are issues because it’s affecting the others.

I have a lot of Republican family members who are personally affected and still Republican. They don’t see any alternative. You need to remember why we got here: our party has done nothing for the past 20 years but fail. Fail to prevent the collapse of the middle class, fail to create a comprehensive re-training scheme, fail to address the consequential homelessness and drug addiction epidemic, fail to lift the south out of poverty, fail to create a rational healthcare system, fail to stop the environment from getting worse, fail to govern effectively and bring the national debt into line, bowed down to trillionaire oligarchs instead of stopping them. I could keep going. I say this with full acknowledgement that Joe Biden had the most positive direct impact on my life and family of any president in my lifetime. I say this with full acknowledgement that the republicans also failed. But when all people here is that we can’t help them, people will turn to ANYONE saying they can help.
