That defeatism is exactly what the fascists want.
Is it really defeatism, though? Simply not voting at all could turn tides. And it's not like Republicans haven't proven them right again and again and again and again. Republicans are conditioned HARD to never, ever consider voting for a Democrat.
I think it is considering the assertion was they're never going to change... On an article about them changing.
It's not saying that Republicans are voting Democrat, though. It's just saying there's a surge in votes for Democrats in rural areas that are traditionally conservative. That could mean that Republicans are voting for Democrats, but past evidence suggests it's far more likely to just be latent Democrats actually bothering to go out and vote in areas where they'd traditionally get drowned out.
Just because many of the MAGA are beyond redemption, people still need to VOTE! A lot of the reason we have trump 2.0 is because 66% of voters didn't vote.
