It is genuinely remarkable that so many of those idiots still think theological patriarchy is a viable strategy in this day and age. I think we’ll be safe (as in, demographics will make it not viable for them to remain a political party) by 2030, but the next two presidential elections are gonna be a fucking nightmare.
2030 is too far away and i think that’s naive. we need them gone now. you don’t understand how ingrained conservative thinking is in rural areas. they aren’t going away. they’re making new ones every day.
We’ve been saying conservatives will be marginalized soon since the 90’s. I really hope it happens in my lifetime. The infestation has only gotten worse.
But they have been marginalized, that’s why they’re not winning the popular vote.
What we are witnessing are the death throes. They can no longer achieve their goals through democracy and so they have started trying to dismantle democracy.
It was never going to be a peaceful transition of power, we’ll have to tear it from these dinosaurs’ dead claws, but the transition has already begun. If America can survive, I think we’ll start to see more and more left-leaning politics as Gen X and millenials replace boomers as a major voting bloc.
And had Gore won it may very well be true, but just cause something seems inevitable doesnt mean it is. Nothing great has been achieved through ignorant inaction.

Agreed. Physical training, education and preparation will save innocent lives. Successfully resisting the conservatives will require it.
It’s a great idea to join a local John Brown Gun Club and learn to shoot, even for non-combatants. First-aid / trauma-aid classes and MMA classes are also extremely helpful, even for pacifists.
Conservatives are not pacifists and will not be kind or merciful to those who are unable to defend themselves.

If it were not for gerrymandering and several other kinds of election tampering, that would have happened at least a decade ago.
As it is, they’re still clawing away at democracy to such a degree (and meeting so little resistance other than empty words for the press from the only ones with the power to stop them) that they’re likely to remain competitive indefinitely unless something changes dramatically.
the next two presidential elections are gonna be a fucking nightmare.
Sadly, it’s much more likely that every presidential election for the rest of my life will and I’m “only” 41.
It is a viable strategy as long as you don’t depend on actually winning elections.

I wonder what other hugely unpopular positions they can poison themselves with. This is what minority rule looks like. The only way we stop this is by defeating Trump and reforming our democracy. Minorities should have enough power to protect themselves from oppression, but not so much that they can impose their views on the rest of the country. This is what’s happening with the far right, which very much is a minority that’s far out of step with mainstream American opinion on virtually everything.
So. Apparently he was defeated 4 years ago. When does the fixing everything happen? Why is it gonna magically happen THIS time around?
Ideally the Democrats get Congress too.
In the times they had “control” in recent years and decades, there’s always convenient excuses for why more didn’t get done. I don’t buy pipe dreams and hopes.
I don’t either. There’s always going to be a Manchin or a Sinema doing the GOPs work for them.
Holy shit, I thought the us couldn’t get any worse.
I pity you, having to pick between a dementia patient and a man whose only intent is to turn the country into a failing business, with God as his witness.
I’m not a fan of him, but there’s absolutely no evidence Biden has dementia. He’s got a speech impediment and you’re kinda a dick for calling that dementia.
Dick.
This. The dude may be old but he’s still pretty sharp and showing good health, all things considered.
Right wing media loves to take any stutter or blank stare into the top story though. Despite that, I’m sure that there’s a hell of a lot more “senior moment” footage for their guy. It’s pretty telling when they’ve got not much more than schoolyard name calling and rumors to really sling at him though. Can’t fight on Biden on policy, and he’s practically made of teflon.
The real sad part is that it works.
Yes. Albeit, I never mentioned anything about speech. It’s a bit weird that they immediately jumped to that. I’m mostly mentioning the fact that his senior moments severely outweigh other presidents. I mean, come on. The guy is 81.
I just don’t get how people are driven to pick the lesser of two evils when there’s much better options out there.
He has a card for meeting with ambassadors which literally says, in short form, “sit down. Say hello. Answer questions. Leave”.
He forgot how to stand on a bike. Hell, he forgets how to walk up stairs sometimes. Even walking on the ground, he sometimes ignores secret service instructions. He’s 81. 81. And I’m getting flak for calling him out?
I can get people defending Greg abbot for being disabled, because that’s not the point of his dilemma. This is different, because he is literally too old to be fit to serve.
Edit: I also never said anything about speech, where were you getting that from?
Gee, let me guess …
That said, I hate that the Democrats are focusing so much on abortion. Yes, it’s been an driving force when it’s been on the ballot, but you want something more than just giving people a reason to vote on one issue and hoping it carries over to politicians. Give people something to vote for, not just against.
I’m really worried about turnout.
It’s always carrot and stick. Vote for us because of this terrible thing. No, we won’t give you more than that.
Agreed! People should stop worrying about Republicans stripping away our Healthcare bit by bit! It’s not like my Woman ever leaves the Kitchen anyways! And if my DAUGHTER is sick I’ll just rape it out of her and become a Grandpapa!
