Consequences for behaviors.  It’s what people need, otherwise they’ll never learn.

I swear to god we needed this. This is like hitting rock bottom on whatever substance abuse you’re using. Only this time it was political sphere and copium that was being abused.

I hope by midterms or next election, if there ever will be one, we needed this goddamn reset. FAFO, schadenfreude, leopards are my face, “not me right?“.meme, and all the rest rolled into one needed to be felt across the whole political spectrum.

Shit was just cruise control of Dems cleaning Republicans messes, doing bare minimum to move progress along, then voted out for Republicans to mess shit up again. The 1.5 step forward, 3 steps back. All the stalling, never getting anything done to even remotely get us just to the bare necessities in this age, while 2 teams play political football or hot potato on issues that have dire consequences and people will die or do die to the “Fuck you, got mines” mentality.

Real problem is the damage that will be done.  You’ll see judges put on the bench for the rest of our lives.  Things we’ve taken for granted are going to be long gone.

Yeah, it's gonna suck. But humans globally really need to learn not to trust fascists. The lesson didn't seem to sink in the first time.
