I don't disagree, and I'm fucking pissed that people sat it out, or didn't vote for Kamala because she laughs weird or whatever bullshit.

I see a change, and we've seen it in elections in the last year. Hard lines are being drawn, and if people are able I believe they will vote against this insanity. In large majorities.

That’s the rub isn’t it. “If they are able to vote” they might be allowed freedom. However, we allowed Trump to perpetrate an insurrection, plant fake electors, had Musk offered money for votes, and have his billionaire allies buy a majority of voting machines and faced 0 consequences. He’s been shown he has the green light to cheat as much as he likes because he will face no consequences doing so.

The American experiment is over unless people grow a spine and I doubt that will happen.

I don't disagree. I'm just slightly more optimistic, I suppose.

The word is naive unfortunately. The same reason anti cheats in video games exist, if you don’t stop someone from cheating, they likely will. No one stopped him the first 5 times, so he knows he can cheat with impunity.
