    I mean if we’re making up fantasy outcomes, why not just ban conservatism?

    The electoral college is never, ever, ever going away

    But seriously: this is why Harris lost. You people would rather sit around on the internet mocking some dumbfuck for not voting the way you demanded than spend a half second looking at yourself and figure out why telling people they’re stupid didn’t turn into votes.

    If half of America is stupid racist misogynists then you either need to figure out what you have in common with them, or you need to get comfortable the other way of neutralizing them.

    Nazis didn’t stop Nazi-ing because liberals elected a center-right candidate. They stopped because a million Communist men died shooting a million Nazi men in Stalingrad. Mussolini didn’t leave office because he was sad someone called him weird, he left because Audisio shot him and strung him up with piano wire

    I wish we could just hand wave the bad people away, but that’s not how the world works. If you think that having to drive to another state to get an abortion is a “dark future,” you need to get a history book
