This is a DIRE situation we are in. It needs to be taken seriously.
in every single election cycle, it's always been that red maga falls in line while blue maga shames everyone into voting for a guy that is 99% same as the red maga guy, but, of course, that naturally doesn't work; if you look at people's behavior now, compared to before, the situation appears the same because everyone's doing the same thing.
if the situation were truly dire; then people would behave accordingly; but they're not.
