I’m kind of at the point where I’ll happily wave goodbye to them at the port. If you vote against your own interests, FAFO.

Personally, I'm much farther along. I sincerely hope the Pubs do it all...I hope they ban abortion nationwide. I hope SCOTUS strikes down gay marriage. I hope Musk guts every federal agency. I hope they build the wall and actively deport all the good hard working immigrants. Hell, I hope they persecute and come after those of us who are left leaning.

Bring the pain.

That is the only prayer of breaking this delirium...absolute and total misery nationwide. Let them run with it. It's the only way people will see them for who they are. Even then it may not be enough.
 
Assuming we still have a presidential election in four years, I've got to make a mental note to do the following things in 2028:

1) Do not, under any circumstances, believe that Florida or Texas or North Carolina are "in play", no matter what the media or polls or talking head pundits say. They're not.
2) Social media and the internet are wonderful in some ways, but they've created a monster in other ways by giving idiots and con artists the ability to spread lies, conspiracy theories, and disinformation (like vaccines are bad) that have poisoned our political system. So expect the worst.
3) It doesn't matter how ridiculous Trump's campaign is, or how many straight up lies he tells or how many awful things he says, he's still going to get a record vote from his cult.
4) With every election cycle more and more of our news and social media is owned or being managed by right-wingers, so they now have a powerful media presence to promote their candidates 24/7.
5) In the Age of Trump, never get your hopes up if you're a Democrat. Expect the worst and if good things happen you can be pleasantly surprised, and if the worst happens at least you can say you saw it coming.

Half of the population will still be blinded.by their hate and fear from racism, bigotry and Christian nationalism to care. They will find something else to blame it on in order to keep their feeling of superiority based on their race, religion, and sexual orientation.

And unfortunately more and more people are getting dumber instead of smarter and seeing through all the bullshit.

Garland did act way too slow, but the "Party of Law and Order" shouldn't have blocked the 2nd impeachment and we wouldn't be where we are today.

True, but Biden't #1A objective after COVID was to ensure Trump never ran for office again after the Senate abdicated responsibility.

People like that never have a shortage of boogie men. No matter that after controlling all of Congress there literally won’t be anyone else to blame.

In the future. After history is rewritten in lies. I hope they at least maintain the truth that our country was over thrown by a tv personality.

Just let that dangle in your mind
 
Shoulda gone on Rogan.

Or, shoulda had a primary.

Democratic Party gonna have a lot of soul searching to do after this one.

Neither of those would have helped unless the primary was in the normal course with Biden announcing a year ago he wasn’t running. Even then, it’s clear Americans care more about $2 gas than women’s rights.
