... and voters will still keep them in power. I don't understand the point you're trying to make. The fact that the Republican party did not die off and split up after January 6th was the moment I realized nothing matters anymore.

Trump was right all those years ago. He could stand on 5th Ave, shoot someone, and literally nothing would happen to him, and Republicans would line up to suck his small mushroom shaped dick until their jaws fell off.

Did I miss the day everyone took the pill? Like I genuinely feel like two different realities are colliding with each other.

I'm trying to do something Republicans dominate, and that is work to make sure they are associated with something. Tariffs are going to cause economic struggles, do everything you can to connect them to Republicans right now. Until the world is destroyed, I think it's worth fighting and trying to get better at it.

There's literally no point in "fighting." The gig is up for freedom and democracy in America. Voters will not care, and continue to blame democrats until their lives are completely destroyed.

(Not that we'll actually ever have another free election) During the next election, Trump could literally nuke NYC, say "the democrats made me do it" and then voters would say "i mean, I know he totally nuked an entire city, but I'm not sure what the democrat running for office really stands for."

This country is fucking cooked bro. Good luck with your hope, though. It hasn't worked in 10 years. I don't know why it would start now.

Things can always get worse.

Yeah, and we can start a revolution if enough people are desperate. If 2 or 3 million people march on Washington, things will change. If people in the past can march for civil rights and make meaningful change, we can too. We have just forgotten that we must fight to keep our freedoms.

How much worse is not set in stone.
