    Yeah, keep telling yourself that. The fact of the matter is that when the polls open these people will walk in and vote like they always have.

      That statement is proven wrong by the dozens of special elections that have shown a serious downturn in MAGA voter participation.

      Stop declaring the race over, and stop discouraging Democrats from voting, unless you’re a MAGA Traitor.

      I legitimately don’t give a shit anymore. After watching over 10 years of Trump taking a shit on top of the country and all the working class people cheering for him, across all forms of media I have finally given up. I’ll still bitch about how moronic and self-serving this MAGA cult is, I’ll still vote in every election against them, but I cannot in good conscience try and continue with the platitudes and positive outlook on the future. In fact a part of me hopes the Democrats lose again and give the GOP even greater control - it seems that’s where everything’s going anyways. Besides, I think many of us know what happens the moment Democrats take majority control of the House and Senate.

      Actual oversight comes into play, real investigations begin, and this house of cards filled with fraud and scams propping up what’s left of the economy collapses entirely. Who gets the blame? It’s not the Republicans and conservatives, they will never accept the tiniest shred of responsibility for any of this. No they’ll do the same shit they did to Obama after the 2008 election when he inherited the last generation’s conservative scam economy. Blame democrats and progressives and leftists for all their problems. It’ll work, because the idiot demographic in this country with the collective attention span of a betta fish enjoys an undefeatable majority and grows all the time, and they’ll win even more strongly in the following election. So I’m done.

      Let the fucking moron self-righteous MAGAt assholes control everything and burn it all down, let them die because their local hospitals closed due to lack of Medicaid funding, their children to Measles and their infants to Vitamin K deficiencies. Let their communities become filled with the products of a dysfunctional criminal justice and rehabilitation system. Let them go homeless and destitute because AI took their jobs, and all the welfare programs that could’ve helped keep them on their feet were destroyed to enable Elon Musk to become the world’s first trillionaire. I say all of that in the hopes that with the right wing in clear, uncontestable control of the entire country, maybe they’ll finally be unable to weasel out of some form of responsibility for their many crimes against humanity and against the working class people of this country and the world. However the truth is, I think that even if every Democratic politician in America disappeared tomorrow, in 10 years’ time they’d still be blamed for 100% of issues in society.
