    I’m so sick of people spouting this, it’s defeatist and is essentially saying “i lost, oh well, time to give up.”

      I’m sorry you feel that way. I welcome your mockery if we have something resembling a normal 2026 midterm and 2028 general.

      I’m a little surprised so many folks don’t seem to realize we have crossed a threshold that may indeed spell the end of the US as we have known it up to now, and seem to think this was just another election. But, I guess for folks who haven’t witnessed that many of our elections in their lifetime it might seem that way.

      If more people did realize that, I’d have a lot more faith that we’re going to be able to stop it.

        I agree “folks don’t seem to realize we’ve crossed a threshold” and seem willing to just curl up and die.

        Fuck that noise.
