the best hope for america is the return of MAGA political apathy. maybe repeated resounding losses can fix it.

The right has worked long and hard to rig the system is such a way as they don't have to have the support of the majority. They have mastered gerrymandering. They've managed to dominate many state legislatures, even in some very purple states. They've stacked the courts. And for presidential contests they have the sweet advantage of the electoral college.

And a huge advantage is an ill-informed base and a lying right wing media machine to keep that base constantly enraged and motivated such that they will happily vote against their own real interests.
