Jesus Christ. Do you know how the Republicans have turned America into a right-wing hellscape?

Incrementally.

They inched the Overton Window right every time they won. Every time some egg said "If nobody's offering universal healthcare I'm not voting" they get to set the terms.

They've been doing it for decades now.

Time to start inching it back.

The Democrats have helped incrementally, too, by not winding back their policies and generally giving in to their rhetoric. It's insane that there's no way to vote against genocide in this election, that they just removed the death penalty from their platform, that she is no longer for the Green New Deal or M4A, that they signed the crime bill, etc. The Democrats have been complicit in this ratchet effect as well.
