      Look, if punching any progress on its face, fixating on genitalia, pissing on your own constituents, punishing the disenfranchised for being disenfranchised, and alternately praising and then eating your collaborators doesn’t demonstrate ones ability to “govern,” then I don’t know what does. You talking to me that way sounds an awful lot like an insurrection.

      That was never their goal. Their only goal was to destroy democracy, and they’re doing a pretty good job of that.

        People keep saying this, but after democracy is destroyed, you still have to govern the shitty theocracy you make. My point is, they won’t be able to govern that either.

          people keep saying this, as if everyone inside any given democracy is and thinks and acts the same.

          tell me this: if you can predict the future, why aren’t you a lottery-winning billionaire?

      Yeah, we’re totally aware.

      We just need to convince the 30% of American voters who have been hoodwinked by their highly effective media machine. That’s not been going well.
