"This is not the historical moment for an ethical purity test. In 2024, the Republican Party will likely run either twice-indicted, twice-impeached criminal con man Donald Trump or neo-fascist Florida governor Ron DeSantis. If you have the opportunity to vote against Nazis, vote against Nazis, because if they get to power, you won’t be voting again."

@wdlindsy Oh, if they come to power, they’ll still let you vote every election. That’s important for maintaining the pretense of democracy. Russians still vote under Putin; Hungarians still vote under Orban. It’s just a foregone conclusion that the Glorious Leader will win every election.

@JonR They'll still let "you" vote, though with great difficulty, if "you" is a young person, a Black person, a person with immigrant background. And they'll gerrymander things so that your vote doesn't really count.

@wdlindsy Yup. They’ve already done quite a bit of that in my state.
