I'm not at all surprised. I guess the sarcasm in the first line wasn't thick enough for some people to parse. This is exactly what I expected from day 1 of this style of agitation, no matter how many times people swore up and down that it definitely wasn't about ushering in a fascist dictatorship via Trump, just 'expressing' a desire for policy change.
Turns out it was all bad faith bullshit, just like so many of us recognized even at the time. Quelle surprise.
With the attitude of democrats (the term blueMAGA is looking more appealing by the second) this election I think I know why people vote Republican. The sheer condescension and speed of rejecting any idea you don't agree with is astounding and frustrating. You cry about everyone who doesn't agree with you wanting to usher in a fascist dictatorship; I'll be watching while you lose Michigan (and maybe one other state) to the groupthink.
Please stope writing and go away. Your opinions are bad and you should feel bad. The rest of us are willing to sacrifice a limb to save the patient. None of us enjoy it or are glad to have to make that choice, but WE HAVE TO SAVE THE PATIENT YOU JACKBOOTED DIMWIT.
