      Bluntly, what have you done for me lately?

      What Democrats did is a meaningless platitude.

      What are all of you doing right now?

      What the fuck should we do with your “we did our part”?

      Simply put, You the People cannot be trusted to keep fascism at bay.

      If you are ever allowed to vote in a free election again, one third of you will vote for more of this bullshit, and one third of you will refuse to vote.

      Collectively, you are untrustworthy.

        You the People cannot be trusted to keep fascism at bay.

        Of course they can’t. The founding mythology? The military fluffing? The pervasive propaganda over American exceptionalism?

        It’s a fascist country. It just doesn’t always have a totalitarian government.

        Frankly I think the only thing that’d give me faith in my countrymen would be learning there’s actually truth to Musk/the repubs at large rigging the election, and that’s a long shot.

      If they took action and failed I don’t hold anything against them. It’s better to try and fail than not try at all.

      Unfortunately the scale of what’s happening right now is existential, so they find themselves in the crossfire.

      I have the utmost sympathy and care for democrats and independents who tried and failed. I can’t tell them how to feel, but I’d feel scared and helpless.
