This is a nationwide phenomenon. The centrists and normies are more viciously angry than the socialists and anarchists, who gave up long ago on the illusion of a working system. Would encourage leftists of all stripes to take it seriously, welcome them in while they’re receptive.

Walking thru the “Ultra Normie” No Kings rally in my extremely rural, white town and there are Patagonia wearing moms carrying signs that say “DEAD PEDOPHILES DONT REOFFEND” and “ICE GETS THE WALL” and I hi fived an old guy with a sign that said MY DADDY FOUGHT NAZIS AND SO WILL I” this is wild

If it wasn’t clear, this is not an endorsement of centrism/centrist Dems. Nor is saying they are more viciously angry a value judgment. It’s probably just because centrists have a more carceral mindset and feel more recently betrayed. Hence the opportunity to welcome them to go further. ✌️
