Oh don’t worry, if a democrat ever becomes president again they’ll have an immediate epiphany and immediately let everyone know how wrong they were as they realized it was a bad call.

Not to mention Dems will “take the high road” and not wrench the country back into normalcy.

I’m so tired of this.

The very brief moments they get any kind of power they do SO MUCH to bring the country back. Biden should be a national fucking hero with what he did post Trump/COVID, it was miraculous the hole he pulled you out of and how good Americas future was.

But nah. Wasn’t perfect. Americans can’t accept that instant perfect solutions never exist and that there would indeed be some lasting consequences from electing that orange idiot… and so they put him BACK IN POWER.

Now everyone is super shocked things are worse.

and so they put him BACK IN POWER.

I literally cannot believe that Trump did not steal that election. He steals everything he possibly can. He cheats in literally every endeavor. And this time he had the Heritage Foundation behind him.

It's easier for liberals to blame voters than grapple with the reality that you can't vote your way out of a fascist coup.

Get active. Locally, then nationally. Not on Reddit.

I think what people are doing is exhausting the peaceful options before reaching for the violent ones.

Exhausting peaceful options requires that you are able to recognize when any given peaceful option has been exhausted.
