    Assuming there is another election in the US after all this, Newsom is definitely going to be the toothless, bullshit democratic nominee and they’re going to badpost so much about how they killed fascism while he continues to give cash to people with more money than god

      They cling so hard to the two party thing that they reinterpret their history as evidence that the system has been working “for the people”

      Even when that history is the history of the two parties swapping sides, changing names, and shuffling their decks mostly over the business of chattel slavery and it’s racist consequences. “For the people” my ass.

      Even the liberal history has this shit. This is them just willfully misinterpreting it because they are boneheaded ideologues.

        The US has also had eras of three parties or only a single party (insert one party state quote here). Democrats want to cling to something that’s younger than their institution.

        I love how they completely gloss over the fact that you can’t just rip up all of the assets that you own in a particular location and bring it with you. Fine. Leave. Forfeit all of the assets you can’t load onto a plane.

      I don’t know, I kinda doubt even Obama could Obama his way out of this one now. “Keep doing the same shit and steadily make things worse” is becoming less and less viable every year, and I think we crossed that line sometime prior to the last election.

        Obama’s administration was at least self-aware enough to promise “Change” to people, even if they kept backpedaling on it. Seems like the dems these days aren’t even capable of lying about meaningless superficial changes anymore.

    It would be much more beneficial in the long-run to just seize their assets tbh
