No one said that we were relying on the government to carry out justice.

The only thing saving this country from full on state-sponsored ethnic cleansing is the fact that they keep appointing the stupidest motherfuckers imaginable to key positions or power.

Even if these are restored, the spell has been thoroughly broken.

Trump has shown that the supposedly sacred institutions intended to protect democracy absolutely disintegrate the first time a 3rd rate dictator shows up and knocks them down.

Trump has shown that the office of the presidency itself can be obtained by the most dipshit motherfuckers imaginable.

Trump has shown that our electorate is hilariously unqualified for the responsibility of choosing our elected officials.

Rebuild everything, and what are we left with but a system that is utterly incapable of protecting itself against fascism? How in the absolute fuck can we ever be expected to respect the office of the presidency again after seeing that the absolute worst among us is capable of achieving it?

At this point, I think people are just hoping that the next election will restore the illusion. But for a lot of people, the perception of what this country is will be forever compromised.

Democracy cannot survive an electorate that is this fucking stupid.

Celebrating four years of abject cultural failure spent on the wrong side of history.

Anyone who is catastrophically stupid enough to be swayed by someone like Trump is not a potential ally. They are, at best, a liability.

Conservatives are culturally incapable of true civic defiance or revolutionary action. It just isn’t in their nature. They obey the authoritarian. It’s just what they are.

Don’t go looking to the right end of the political spectrum if you’re looking for rebellion.

Luigi’s defense fund has doubled this if it makes you feel better.

The majority of the electorate will respond to the latter. Use the tools that work, not the ones you wish would work.

This is what the democratic party has to learn. Your sister is a sizable representation of the electorate. They have no goddamn idea how anything works. They voted purely based on vibes. You have to capture the terminally unengaged and uninformed voters if you want to be able to stay in power.

Yes. They missed the part where they specifically and repeatedly said they were going to do this. Because American voters evidently have the cognitive skills of a fucking sea sponge.

Bullpupperest AUG.

I don’t hate it.

Drywall seems closest to a viking weapon.

A solid majority of the 2nd amendment crowd will immediately ask what they can do to lick the boot harder. Those motherfuckers love jackbooted authoritarianism as long as it’s aimed at the right minorities.

I grew up in these toxic conservative cultures. It became very clear to me at a young age that there was something deeply wrong with them. I’ve heard exactly what they talk about when they only think that the people in their fucked up tribes are listening.

These aren’t potential allies to reach out to. They are enemies to overcome.

Any democratic candidate preaching “forgiveness and healing” needs to be primaried. We need representatives who are willing to absolutely curb-stomp the fuck out a party that is effectively an occupying enemy force.

These are not people to “reach out” to. They are enemies to overcome.

Such things are possible without the collapse of society.

Conservative men are terrified of everything. Perpetual fear and petty grievances are the cornerstones of the entire conservative ethos.

And then the conservative brain worms convinced him to support the people who did it again.
