to even the freeloader non-voters or careless voters. People who previously thought "everything is fine" when they didn't vote or threw their vote away on "culture war" issues. Because the GQPee has been enacting policies that actively hurt people, they got nothin' to run on now except trying to scare people. Economics at the grocery store now overriding moral panics about trans people or immigrants.

May enough voters pay attention this time and vote in their best interest.
