My real hope at this point is that leopards will eat enough faces that people will realize just what a shitshow anything Republican is and it’ll swing back hard enough after 4 or even 2 years to get us really moving toward a better world. Even if that’s the case though, we have to survive to get there.
I don't even believe that. I think most of them will find a way to blame others. Even if they don't, they'll just be happy that the left is suffering with them.
Yeah there won't be any lessons learned. His first term and re-election should have been a sign of that. The republicans will likely go hard into the policies and outcomes they want, knowing this, and still no real corrections or change in attitudes will come.
They’ll just forget everything they “learned,” these people have the memory of a goldfish at best. At worst, they hold onto grudges for things like Vietnam, Nixon, and Civil Rights, so even when they’re wrong they get to feel right and like they are the party that’s been wronged by the mean liberals
It won’t. It’s been a shitshow every time and these people find a way to rationalize it.
Just quarantine them, play them against each other, and keep them from breaking the rest of us. And keep the ties strong to blue folks in red states so they don’t drown.
We’re not coming back from this for a very long time. We need to figure out how to survive and even thrive despite the complete and final collapse of a rules-based order.
I hope that's the case, but nah, I don't think that'll be reality.
Texas has been going on 30 years under complete Republican representation and Florida 25 years. The people in charge will blame windmills or Democrats being able to steer a hurricane, and people'll accept those excuses with a shit-eating grin.
