Yeah, I’m mad at Biden and the Democrats for not aggressively cauterizing the wounds of Trump 1 and Trump-proofing the government to the maximum extent possible
But I’m much, much angrier at the Republicans, who have become the party of bigotry, gleeful sadism and criminal self-dealing.
It would be more productive, I think, to consider why bigotry and sadism are so successful. Trump is a product of cis het white male supremacy and authoritarian capitalism, and how those things have been successfully sold as "self-reliance." You can't cauterize our government against our culture
I get mad at Biden/Harris for all kinds of reasons but then how did millions of people still vote for the "THEY'RE EATING THE DOGS" guy??? How did that not hand the election to Harris?
Exactly. We ran a Black woman against a racist rapist. That was the stark choice America made. It's really that simple, no matter how many swing voters tried to pretend it wasn't by complaining to pollsters about egg prices.
Republicans who support Trump but aren't in the inner circle don't seem to know 20th century history well enough to realize that they're probably near the top of the execution list
We ALL need to take responsibility for not having done enough. Unless you've called your reps, run for office, & marched for the last 40 years, you could have done more. As could I. Let's all recognize our own complicity, stop expecting someone to fix this for us without us, and meet the moment.
Hell, I'd argue that even shoeing up to the polling place and casting a protest vote for a write in would at least improve the demographics to show the DNC some solid numbers of votes they COULD win through some carefully applied dechickenshittification.
I think they need to be explicitly stricken from the list of eligible parties that one can vote for, just like the Nazi party in Germany. These are our Nazis. They should all stand trial in the Hague and be sentenced for crimes against humanity.
💯 - I said this to my republican house rep the week after inauguration.... if I hav see any way to change the US it will be to ensure that no republican can ever hold office again.
No more holding office, coming by for Xmas, holding his or her grandkids… 31(!!!)yrs after Newt and his Contract with America… nah an apology and sitting an election out ain’t cutting it for the Republican Party. Bring back shunning in 2026 America!
Wow
So angry I can't even complete a thought. I meant if I have it at all my way, I would see to it that no republican will ever hold any office ever again. They will be considered as bad as Nazis or KKK. Fuck them

His voters see "THEY'RE EATING THE DOGS" and go "This confirms my racist suspicions! How terrible, we need to stop that!"
The fact checker didn't help.
The racism and cruelty and "white men are better than anyone else" message IS the appeal. It's a feature, not a flaw.
Anybody who could’ve voted Dem but didn’t owns a piece of this horror
As my grandpa used to say, sometimes you gotta eat the chickenshit so you don’t have to eat the bullshit
When we take control back, they need to be banned. Forever.
Those who don't vote won't help, they are out of the game. That leaves us on relative parity with numbers.
Seccession would be an option. Why not?
