"We're all Americans!"
... are we?
... are we?
The idea that this was going to be a landslide was predicated on a weird idea that these motherfuckers in red hats taking off their masks and pointing guns at protestors and giving cops handies on cable news were just random kooks.
They're not.
They're not.
You gotta stop right now and before anything else figure out how we cope with almost half an electorate that's for all intents and purposes gone rabid.
They've been ruined by Fox News and OAN and Facebook and just sucking their own dicks.
Stop acting like this was reasonable.

It's not demonizing your opponents if they're on fire and shitting sulfur.
Their sphere of normal includes heavily armed shows of force against other citizens.
Make note of that. Not against the government. Against *other citizens.*

That display of implied violence has been normalized and encouraged. They've been patted on the head and given snausages for it.
It is deeply broken. We have to address that.
We cannot act as if there was a reasonable opposition, because they continued to support Trump.

Do I even need to list Trump's demonstrable lies, policy failures (what policy ha), and blatant corruption?
"Two weeks." That healthcare plan's been coming for two weeks.
I guess weeks are 1,460 days long now.
(Yes it does feel that way.)

Voting for Trump after the last four years makes no sense.
At all.
But they did it anyway, happily, blissfully.
Almost half of this electorate is irrational and acting against its own self interest just so it can feel like it won something.

I saw podcast lady reply to someone complaining that Flint seemed to go red by asking if Biden promised them clean water.
Really?
Do you think words would matter?
Joe Biden could have promised fucking superpowers and orgasms and they still would vote for Trump to make us lose.

And that's what it comes down to:
Almost half the electorate does not want policy.
They want the other, slightly larger half of the electorate to suffer.
That's it. That's the platform. "Fuck you."
You can give "Fuck you" free healthcare and it wouldn't matter at all.

I'm not even exaggerating here: the 2020 GOP platform was, officially, "Whatever Trump says."
LITERALLY. THAT IS THE PLATFORM. THAT IS THE NO HYPERBOLE HONEST TO GOD FOR REAL PLATFORM OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.
We have to address that. We have to deal with it.

You and me? We might disagree on policy, taxes, how we get everyone healthcare, how we handle corporations and the environment and human rights.
But we have the same goals. We just differ on details.
They do not have the same goals.
They don't have any goals but "Fuck you."

All of you idiots who keep trying to "win them over" with policy and reason and even sacrificing things like regarding non-white, non-het, non-cis people as PEOPLE are either deluded or grifting or both.
They're not a voting block. They're a sect.

Jesus fucking CHRIST.
DID YOU HEAR A GODDAMN WORD I SAID?
No. No, you didn't.
You're more interested in policy details than the fascists.
Can't you for five minutes give it a rest? Look outside, look at what's happening, and give. It. A. Rest. https://twitter.com/SwordofDestiny/status/1324041410501349376

If you would rather try to score points on people who will vote more like you would than opposing the actual, textbook definition fascists, that's not exactly reasonable, either.
I swear to fuck people would cheerfully burn alive so long as it meant they had the high ground.

More people voted in this election than in any election since maybe the 1990s.
More than voted in 2008.
Maybe it's not that there was a huge chunk of blue vote sitting on their ass, but that *almost half this country is no longer rational.* https://twitter.com/quisitore/status/1324041441874714624
