What is amazing about this poll result is that 1) these are not "values" and 2) all of the "values" they ask about have a completely different context than in the prior surveys - Interpreting them is a BIG challenge and everyone in the polling world knows it

Democracy is like the McRib. It's here now, and it will be around for a little bit longer, so enjoy it while you can.

22 months ago a violent insurrection inspired by the President sought to overturn a democratic election and prevent the peaceful transfer of power. The threat is now, if anything, worse. 2020 denialism is now pervasive & the legitimacy of the 2022 election is already under attack

1) Dem ads I've seen on abortion are missing the boat. It's not the procedure that's relevant to most voters. Most are beyond reproductive age, can't get pregnant, or don't think they'll need an abortion.

The alternative to organized political parties is not independence. It is chaos, inaction, and ultimately authoritarianism.

This is a powerful and devastating thought experiment.
It’s hard to accept that the U.S. is heading towards democratic collapse. So, I photoshopped some potential headlines to show #WhatsToCome if we don’t act now…

I used to be an evangelical. Let me tell you a little about why they worked so hard to get us here.🧵 Evangelicals have been deeply indoctrinated in rigid thinking. If you think you can compromise with them, you're wrong, because they're 100% certain God is on their side. 1/x
