Are Americans Just Stupid... Or is it something else?

15. Focusing on MAGATs seems like focusing in the wrong direction.

There's less of them than there is of the (uncommitted) so-called Indepents. We need to out vote the Republicans by vast and unquestionable numbers. We don't have enough time before the midterms to try and fix the kind of brainwashing that created the hateful people who vote for the party of terrible ideas and cruel policies.
What's killing this country is the both sides do it lies. The Democrats aren't perfect, but their ideas and policies are vastly preferable to the party that clearly wants to destroy our democracy and replace it with white Christofacist dictatorship.
We need to focus our energy on the huge numbers of people who are eligible to vote, but are not even registered. We stand a much better chance of getting policies that benefit us from the Democrats than anything we will ever get from the greedy, spineless and rape enabling Republicans.
I expect that it will take a ton of time and effort to reverse the brainwashing which has resulted in MAGAts. We don't have the luxury of putting in that time and effort right now. We need to keep our eyes on the prize: taking back the House and the Senate in November.
It's OK to welcome any MAGAts who have buyers remorse. We need all the votes that we can get. I don't think we should trust them, nor lean on them for support. They swallowed the propaganda for a number of reasons: sexism, racism, xenophobia and classism, aided by greed and cruelty. Poison goes where poison is welcomed.
