Unfortunately, most people who supported Republicans in the past won't learn any real lessons. They'll vote for the same sorts of policies again.

Yeah. Identity protective cognition is one hell of a drug.

I have no doubt they will, but not in the next election.

In the next election the greater likelihood is that they won't skip a badly-needed day's pay in order to vote at all. That's what anger and poverty do to people, as Democrats experienced in 2024.
