I can’t even click onto the article. Anyone who puts any stock in polls is living in a fantasy world. The activity is as flawed as the system it is looking to measure. We might as well be asking oracles or soothsayers. If the polls had any credibility we would be living in the Trump dystopia, several times over.

Worst part about that scenario is we wouldn’t know how good we had it. We couldn’t have imagined this shit storm clusterfuck timeline.

Magnificent comment top to bottom, but this:

He looks like a penis made a wish at a Zoltar machine.

The theme song is a banger.

This is the best take yet.

How cute, thinking the rules matter.

They’ll come for him soon enough.

Punishing little fish is easier to set the expectation that opposing the Party will have consequences.

This is my last hope for America as we know it: MAGAts destroy themselves once their Christ figure is gone. It could devolve as you describe, but it might also be just the lull to prompt recovery.

I have a belief of what will be required, likely aligned to your something else. I just don’t think it is a good idea to broadcast it on the Internet.

We had a chance. Biden’s administration should have been solely focused on preventing the return and acceleration of fascism. Instead, they cowed to their corporate masters and threw crumbs to the people.

As others have said, we’ve likely had our last free election as the United States of America. Whatever follows should absolutely have guardrails against this happening again.

Not true. Literally would have been better prior to the start of the collapse.

I’d watch the shit out of this, right through to the after credits where Gordon with a bad ass eye patch steps out of the shadows and invites Super Grover to join his elite team of superheroes code named “HOoD”.

I was one who dismissed you (or those like you). Now my penance is trying to get others just as ignorant as I was to believe.

It is in ours, too. We just decided “fuck it, full fascism speed run”.

I’m with you. Hope we can do it without violence but it is looking grim.

Don’t worry, there won’t be another.

I’m imagining these stooge’s first day on the job being like the 9/11 terrorists taking flying lessons.

“Don’t worry too much about the details, we don’t need to know how to land.”

The idea that our government is a representative democracy is a farce. The machine has too much inertia, too much power and money

I was trying to wax philosophical about what form of government is next. But, you’re right. There’s something that comes first.
