Hopefully people turn out in 2024 and stop us going down the 1930s Germany route..... my mother recently moved to Pennsylvania from a deep red state, and was saying that due to Bidens "corruption", she didnt think she would vote in 2024. Upon further questioning, my hyper conservative fundemantalist Christian uncle had been sending her news.

Hope my arguments convinced her otherwise, she detests Trump & the Republicans. Her vote DOES matter now. Have her set up with a variety of news websites & Firefox/ublock origin etc, and not "Townhall" garbage.

Depending on where in PA, it might be just as red as where she came from. If she's not near Pittsburgh, or basically bordering NJ, then she's probably in good ol Pennsyltucky.

That state really should be broken into three states, it's way too large and it's already divided geographically.

It's a shame that calling Uncle Tommy out for being the dumb ass he's always been is so frowned upon, even if it's to avoid fascism.
