Ratchet effect is a made up talking point facists propagate on the internet to suppress voter turn out.

Fun fact: they call it an "effect" to make it sound scientific and well researched. It's really just a fabricated fantasy to encourage apathy and hopelessness.

    I get you want to spread fascist propaganda, but "the ratchet effect" isn't real in any sense.

    The system is fucked, but not because of scary made up propaganda. It's fucked because clowns spread FUD and hopelessness to suppress voter turn out. In the end it leads to facism and a country ruled by pesos and rapists, it's sad you don't see it.
