      Anyone remember in 2020 when the people elected the Dems to hold the republicans accountable for their many crimes committed out in the open and they dragged their feet until “oh no, well it’s too late now”

      If the Democratic Party can’t deliver things that voters want then the voters stay at home and the democrats are shocked like pikachu.

        I won’t even consider voting for any Dem candidates that doesn’t expressly state that they intend to destroy MAGA, punish the traitors and criminals, roll back ALL MAGA initiatives, restore America properly, and prohibit MAGA from existing.

        I want a candidate who says that they intend to arrest Trump and his henchman on minute one of their administration, and MEAN IT.

            Nope, we got Trump the second time because the Dems were not committed to destroying MAGA when they had the chance, even with the people fully behind them. They let us down so badly, that they need to redeem themselves almost as much as conservatives do.

            And the way to do that is to obey their oaths, and defend us from a serious domestic enemy, the worst national security threat since the Civil War.

              ROFL…

              MAGA doesn’t get “destroyed” dude. That’s not how it works. I’m debating within the confines of reality. You’re willfully sacrificing entire minorities by wishful thinking.

              I don’t play what-if scenarios. Especially with people that caused the current one to be what it is.

                No, when this is over, MAGA needs to be designated a Terrorist Hate group like the KKK, and prohibited. They have embraced Treason, Corruption, Rape, Pedophilia, and more, and there is no forgiveness, redemption, or mercy for them. They need to be driven back under a rock, and stomped on HARD whenever they try to emerge again.

                  And we all know that the KKK doesn’t exist anymore…

                    The KKK was once a very powerful political entity, and they were forced into the shadows. They have absolutely no political power anymore, and no openly KKK candidate would ever get elected today.

                    The same thing needs to happen to MAGA.

          I wonder whether the sane and experienced bureaucrats who were fired from their government jobs by musk et al will even want to come back once this is over… they’ll have mentally moved on and found another job by then.

      We tried.

      They stole this democracy from us. Trump has stated it out loud more than once from Oval Office.

      I feel like a lot of people needed to see this (and whatever comes next) happen in order to realise what they could have avoided. In some ways fascism needs to rear its head every so often to remind the public what the result of apathy in politics is.

        It’s what the degradation of education brings… It’s brainwashing of religious views that seek to undermine a person’s free will of choice… It’s making people hate to be part of the in-crowd when, in reality, the only crowd that matters to these people is the money crowd…

        When one side seeks to destroy personal freedoms, and the other is complicit because of greed…

        The whole thing is fucked… and the people who thought they were on the right side are finding out they are not… but its okay as long as someone suffers more than them…

        I mean, it really really really doesn’t. Education was all that was needed for me.
