Don't you think it's interesting that republicans think this every time there's a republican president. I think that's very interesting.

Ah well, guess theres no alternative, so let's just keep doing this for over 50 years...

Don't underestimate how much they hate, hate, hate Democrats. For most Republicans, their only choices they can imagine is voting Republican, or staying home. They wouldn't vote for a Democrat if you put a gun to their head.

They should stay home, then.

Sure, but you won't ever see them ask "why does shit suck when the guy I voted for is in charge?" It'll just be more "why did Joe Biden do this?"

I work in a major tech company where there's a lot of Trumpers.

When we had a major international DDos attack, these motherfuckers blamed Obama.

When we had to move onto Cloudflare because of AI scraping, these motherfuckers blamed Obama.

Even when we had to change Master to Main, these motherfuckers blamed Obama.

The most ridiculous shit, at some point, led back to that one thing Ol' Boogieman Obama did, like some sort of shitty butterfly effect.

And these are the things they say OPENLY in meetings. I can't imagine what they don't say out loud.

Taco and his spokesmorons said that it might not be until 2026, or maybe later, until we "dig out" of some alleged mess the prior administration made for these poor dears.

They say that, hoping that many people never actually look for the data that shows how terrible it all was before Taco seized power in January. And knowing that their base sure as hell won't bother with the actual facts.

We've tried nothing and we're all out of ideas
