It won't. If there's anything I've learned, it's that a large majority of the Democratic Party voter base is just as dumb and addicted to propoganda as the GOP's. The people who are so happy to call anyone with a genuine critique a Russian shill, who believed that Biden had to lead the ticket "no matter what," who cheered when Harris went further right to snap up conservative voters; these people also treat politics like a sport and think their side can do no wrong. They feel smug and superior because "they're not dumb enough to vote for Trump," as if that makes them immune to propoganda.

My plan is to leave. Maybe other countries have a chance still, but the U.S. does not.

And which other country do you have in mind where the right-wing parties aren't growing in influence or have already done massive damage (as with Brexit in the UK)?

There are none, as far as I am aware. I'm closest to Canada, and it's where I plan to flee. I'm pretty certain Justin Trudeau is going to repeat Biden's blunder beat for beat, except he won't pull out and will just lose, but I don't think the fate of Canada hinges on the next election. There is still time to fight back at least. I don't think there is any time left for the U.S.
