If I may: the thought process is "they are only doing that because they're hurting and lashing out at shitty liberals. The best thing we could do would be to destroy shitty liberals/the Democratic Party, and then these honest rural working folks will realise they're better off under socialism"
I don't know if that's even the logic anymore, a lot of the interactions I've had lately tend to stall out at "the dems are XYZ" and not proceed fuether.
A distillation of whatever the previous argument was to an endlessly repeated "fuck the dems" and honestly I don't even *like* the dems as a broad category at this point but using that as a slogan is obviously stupid.
It's 40 years of the Right-wing media turning "liberal" into a curse word and a lazy section of the Left thinks you can surf that wave. Like, a Maoist goes to West Virginia and thinks that because they hate libs and love guns more than anyone, why *couldn't* they wage people's war there
That thought process is stupid and people who believe it are stupid.
Fucking Narodniki.

Yeah like I tried that in 2016 and again in 2020, it didn't work, time to move on
