i want to blame the democrats who disregarded complicity with the gazan genocide for this dystopic change; but i have to keep reminding myself that this was going to happen anyways.
100%, and it's what makes me even more incensed that centrists are trying to point the blame at the tiny, miniscule leftist portion of the country that voted third party or sat out.
Even in the absolute best case scenario, Harris was going to have a contested election. She was never winning in a landslide, and Trump had already laid the foundation to contest the election. The currently corrupt Supreme Court was going to hand Trump the presidency 6-3 come hell or high water, the election just wasn't ever going to matter.
Yeah, it's annoying that we just gave the country to Trump, but nobody was ever going to fight for it. This fall to fascism was started decades ago. We're just seeing the end result.
only some of us are seeing the end result today; there will be mroe and i doubt very much that there will be enough come election time.
there's a meme floating out there about nancy reagan that democrats share to typify republican ethos:
it seem to be the same way for democrats as well.
