It’s a bit silly sometimes though, the citizens put initiatives on the ballot that Rs hate and then vote in all the Rs expecting them to implement the stuff in good faith.
If you consider the bigger picture it’s not silly at all.
Democrats spent four years, two of them with the same amount of power that Donald Trump has, letting people get significantly poorer and aiding a genocide. Then, they fronted an openly demented candidate who had a meltdown on national TV. Then, they let the brain-dead candidate crown a candidate who couldn’t even beat Tulsi Gabbard in a primary. After that, they spent three months of campaign time offering no policy changes, but just telling people to ‘be joyful’. Then, after that, Harris publicly affirmed she wouldn’t do anything differently than Biden had.
TLDR: Democrats made voters hate them just that much. You can’t tell tens of millions of people working 100 hours a week at three jobs just to afford a roach-infested studio that you’re not going to make their lives better. Sure, Dems say they support better things, but no one believes them anymore.
sorry just saw this. I was referring to mo state politics, not national.
Specifically, that we put policies in place via initiatives that fly in the face of standard R philosophy but then are surprised when the Rs that we also elect (in MO) don’t want to follow through.
Republicans in 2024 ran as economic populists, even though they were lying about it. The Democrats presided over four years of people’s cost of living doubling and tripling, so it only made sense that Republicans pretended to give a shit.
Though people should have 100% expected them to try and undo the abortion rights amendment.

That’s okay.
In this case, the surprise was warranted.
Republicans in 2024 ran as economic populists, even though they were lying about it. The Democrats presided over four years of people’s cost of living doubling and tripling, so it only made sense that Republicans pretended to give a shit.
