Even if they don't retake official reins of power, it's this.

There are millions of fully radicalized people who believe batshit insane things and no longer share a reality with the rest of us because their entire reality is an ouroboros of bullshit and conspiracy fed to them by the right wing media machine. We have no means of deprogramming them, if they even can be. Things will never be "normal" again, at least through the ballot box.

Surprisingly this isn't a new phenomenon - it's simply more visible than it ever has been. People have always believed fantastically stupid things. Maybe politicians actively engaging with their hair-brained beliefs at this scale is new but targeting dummys definitely isn't.

I did same day registration in Washington and sent in my ballot! I'm part of the solution! I didn't get a loving sticker though so the whole thing felt kind of like a pointless bureaucratic exercise...

Someone posted a tiktok infographic a few months back that kind of explained it; covid deaths helped a bit, but the people in the age group that are dying of natural causes every year are like +30 R and the ones that are turning 18 and vote are +30 D, so barring a major realignment in the zoomer's politics it's just going to skew bit by bit more in the democrat's favor every year for a while.

I don't believe it
