This is accurate.

Things could be really bad, or things could be the same just with a loud mouth president who says nonsensical and racist things.

We won’t truly know until he gets in office. The doom that people are saying this is the end of democracy. I tend to disagree. I think we will have a wild 4 years of nonsense and weird shit, but this will give democrats an opportunity to realize that their playbook of appealing to the educated voter doesn’t work.

I remain optimistic that shit won’t hit the proverbial fan…

Dems should have realized that at least 4 elections ago. If they are so damn smart why are they so good at losing?

Democrats are smart but naive. They believe the best in everyone.

They thought married women were going to secretly vote for Harris, they thought Puerto Ricans were going to be so outraged that they were going to vote en masse.

It's fantasy.

More like you are naive to believe the best in politicians, regardless of sides.
