4. Exactly. I Think Most Progressives Would Rather Scapegoat Media, Democrats, Etc.

... in safe spaces like this forum, rather than expand the base. Indeed, many folks on this board proudly discuss how we have shunned Trump supporters, rather than trying to challenge their ideals.

I just wish that the ^#% MAGA types would do the same thing, rather than showing up in local government and school board meetings to spread their talking points. It so annoying how even after the election you still have MAGA types sitting in pro-Trump kiosks to spread their fascist talking points. If they did this, then we may have won the election. Why can't MAGA types take a page out of the progressives playbook, and keep to themselves and just scapegoat the media, the establishment, etc., like many progressives?

Sure, progressives will occasionally do a march that is generally ignored by everyone who is not in the march, but the steady boring work of using open government laws to speak at a local school board to say that DEI is okay and that we should not ban books or ban critical race theory classes that do not even exist? It is so annoying that MAGA folks show up to every meeting to repeat the same right wing talking points. Don't they have something better to do?
