      At least with Democrats they eat all faces equally regardless of race religion sexuality or gender identity.

      Also people generally are less surprised considering how they treat progressives within their own party.

        This is what happens when your ideology depends on attacking others but all the leftists leave the spaces you use to bully others.

      Our best hope for the next four years is that they spend so much time fighting amongst themselves, they’ll be too busy to completely fuck everything else up. I’m sure they’ll try, but god, I hope there’s still a Department of Education in 2029. Lack of critical thinking skills is what got us these morons in the first place, we have enough stupid people in this country already.

        I share your sentiment but I think they will attempt to out cunt each other on being vile, petty children. The will try to be as punitive as possible with policy and neglectful in their duties to facilitate the mechanisms of functional government. And, yes maybe not completely because they are probably not even competent enough to do that.

        I’m sorry my American friends but you’re in for some catastrophic shitfuckery.

          Im not sure how effective that will be. Part of the reason they are turning on each other is that everyone else has been so quiet since the election. If there were mass protests right now they would all be united behind having BLM declared a terrorist movement or something, not focused on each other.

            Oh no need to have organized protests. I believe we all have agreed that we’re well past time where that will have any significant impact. Besides, it’s the age of information! Fight back in ways our Republican friends won’t understand.

      These people always fall in line. They will again. They’re proud of being useful idiots. They’ll convince themselves that this immigration is necessary for the economy, but Trump will stop the bad immigration or whatever. And Trump’s people will brutalize people coming from Mexico which will also sate some of their bloodlust. They’ll fall in line just as soon as someone tells them what to think.

      Ah, the pre-new-season-recap/where-are-they-now of the utter madness that was The Trump Administration: The Ultimate Chaos.

      What will they do in the next season? Just how hard their asses will be bitten? Nobody knows!

      Seriously, though, like everyone else, I was highly worried about what the fuck the re-election of Trump will mean. But then I remembered all of the total fuck-ups they did last time around, and I turned my worries, like, 1% down. All I’m hoping right now is that some conservative loonie group goes all in on “finish building the Wall” and it’ll be a shitshow as usual.

        I once saw a comment from a self-labeled ‘Christian conservative’ that was something to the tune of: “We need to stop taking the religion out of everything, because otherwise what’s to stop people from raping and stealing and killing and blah blah.”

        It was then that I first had the horrifying revelation that this person (and many others, I’m sure) is at least quite strongly implying that without the threat of hell they wouldn’t have any reason to NOT do any of those things.

        There’s a reason ‘‘true believer’’ is a pejorative, or at least cautionary, description in politics. Belief is not the way to oporate and get results. If you can’t accept getting 60% of what you want out of legislation along with the other two branches of goverment, you’ll never get 1% of what you want.

      It’s “toe the line”. This difference is pretty important. I thought it was “tow the line” more than half my life because it sounds like pulling on a rope to go in the right direction.

      It’s actually more sinister. Get your toes on the line we drew. Perfect conformity of thought or action.
