This is a post I very much agree with, but since — as you promised — you’d come here to laugh in anti-Trumper faces, I assume you didn’t actually write it.

Listen. Like i I said, I'm not here to gloat. But it was obvious that continuing with their policies. Policies that when the election came they tried to distance themselves from, the writing was on the wall.

I'm not a Trump fan, but the Democrats are way worse.
 
When I first heard Harris speak, she spoke about focussing on middle classes, ensuring that they were rewarded for looking after the country. All this while people were struggling, just like here in the UK, and when that happens, people will look after themselves.

Trump gave them that.

Forever. In every election, from now on until forever.

Why would anyone hungry for leadership change what worked for Trump?

Not just Trump. I’ve brought up my friend Mary Rickert in Shasta County, CA before. Look up the stories of what she’s endured. Of course she got creamed because of liberal narcissism, right? Sure.

It’s not Trump or an all-red legislature (which even my Trump-supporting clients are afraid of). The lesson here is that decency can be irrelevant. That abiding by the law can be irrelevant. That betraying trust can be irrelevant. That ultimate power can be achieved in a democracy without any of these as basic conditions.

And the irony of decrying how we treat each other here. Ha ha. Who gives a fuck anymore?

It's only game over when everyone accepts that is the only path to power. It's a vile template that's been shown to work before in history, it's also been shown that even the vilest of ideologies and behaviours can eventually be defeated and rolled back albeit at great cost. It might take the world being on fire to make us come to our senses but they only truly win when everyone else simply falls into nihilism. I know that is easy to say when you are an ocean away from the eye storm but we've already had a lite taste of it and it is very likely coming here too in our next election cycle.
 
I alluded to this on a very early post after Trump won the election. As crazy as it sounds many people will have voted for him to spite the celebrities and broadcasters, who do nothing but treat the ordinary person in the street with contempt and openly mock them. It reminds me of the Brexit vote here. If your life has been pretty shit for years and nobody listens to any concerns you have and whoever gets in power it's unlikely to improve much, your vote becomes a fuck you vote.
