The thing is, people know exactly how to make it better. It's really not that difficult. But the other side have a vested interest in keeping it bad, because in a system that's actually fair they would never win again. (The fun thing is this is true whether you're talking about the US or the UK).

I reviewed the book by JK Rowling et al for Bella Caledonia. It’s as bad as I thought. It’s not feminism. It’s just mean spirited ramblings in support of the right. Zero stars bellacaledonia.org.uk/2024/06/24/t...

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️‍🌈💖

ChatGPT is wrong. Voting for a fascist is not good for freedom. Unless you're part of the "in group", in this case white cishet conservative men. But even then I wouldn't count on Trump protecting the freedoms of anyone except himself...

Regardless of the reason for them getting more conservative, the fact is you can't look at *one* particular generation getting more conservative and extrapolate that to conclude that everyone does. It's simply a logical fallacy.
