    That’s why all this “it’s all doomed, don’t vote, voting is for libs” accounts are hard at work here already, they need to start building the narrative early

    I could only dream. There’s been so many moments where I was so hopeful that the Republican party was facing oblivion and some new, more sane political alignment would arise from the ashes, but nope. At this point, I think Donald could actually literally wipe his ass with the flag and shoot people’s dogs at his rallies and it wouldn’t change a damn thing. MAGAs could be getting carted off to the gas chamber and they’d still be living in their own reality about it being a sincere mistake by dear leader or 4D chess or some bullshit. It’s honestly incredible to see, because I would never believe it in fiction.

    They’re supporters are way too stupid and disconnected from reality to change at all, just hope the swing voters have enough to win with the decks stacked against them…

    “They’ve got about 10 months to wrap a bow around this and say, ‘See, I told you so,’ or you’re going to start seeing political headwinds,” Tillis said.

    This is what “stalling for time” looks like.

    They don’t understand there is already no going back. The past is over and won’t be seen again. Everything coming will be new regardless of side. People need to not cling to what life used to be like.

      That’s what broke me when the election results came in. Four decades of decline and now death. Whatever happens next will be something I never expected to see in my lifetime.

        Germany didn’t die. No reason to think the end is here the Christian leaning of this nation has encouraged doomsday speak.

          Germany was literally bisected. For decades. Something does die when that happens.

            And still stands today. We had a civil war too and before that had slaves for centuries. It always goes on, the end is never nigh

              It just pisses me off that people who have nothing can identify with 2 nepo babies who have everything, and still want more. That these people will continue to vote against free healthcare and public education, fighting monopolies, and helping the working class and reducing pollution. They continue to fall for bullshit propaganda from Russia and voted for the end of our country. I honestly believe the '24 election was stolen and we are living a fascist coup (electiontruthalliance.org I can go on forever to connect the dots here, but I don’t have time), but even if it was, there are still people out there who drink the Republican kool-aid. The Republicans are the most phony looking people on the planet and clearly lie to your face all the time, but people think that those people are going to fight for them. It’s asinine.

    And everyone else fears the Democrats not having learned one thing from all of this and getting handed easy victories for a decade with zero incentive to improve.

      You’re still speaking in terms of left and right, so it doesn’t matter which side wins. They’re both run by oligarchs who couldn’t give a fuck about the non-rich.

      It’s rich v. poor, y’all. There are no sides. D’s hate you. R’s hate you. They have different strategies to controlling you, but they’re fundamentally the same options.

      They’ll have learned it’s progressives’ fault. It’s always progressives’ fault. Even when Bernie conceded the primary and endorsed (then campaigned for) Hilary, it was his fault.
