And good luck getting most people off of social media controlled by conservatives. Facebook/Twitter is digital heroin to A LOT of people.

Absolutely. I place most of the blame here on voters. Even with all those GOP shenanigans in place, a majority of Americans made a choice. I'm well aware the Democratic Party didn't do itself any favors but the people ultimately decided that this is what they wanted. It wasn't win or lose, it was a choice between two clear outcomes and they picked authoritarianism.

It feels like more people are wearing their Nazi/Trump merch out in public now here. They definitely don't feel like they need to hide anymore.

Yeah I could see this argument working for Mueller, maybe. But Jack Smith has been pretty on the ball this whole time. There are a couple things I wished he would've done faster, but I understand his reasoning. The problem is we let conservatives completely corrupt the judiciary the last 40 years. I can't really fault Jack Smith for that. I don't think he has relished any of this whatsoever.

This is where I'm landing too. I will stay hopeful out of spite for these fuckers.

The GOP winning at all means it worked, just as it has in the past. Gerrymandering, voter purges, limiting access, corrupt judiciary, prisons, dark money groups, etc. That is how the GOP has won for several decades. They have NEVER been able to win a fair democratic election on a national level.

The biggest and most painful lesson I've learned this week is that the average American is a bad person, even within my friends and family. Being a decent human being in America is an exception. They knew and didn't care. The ones who sat out and the ones who voted for this truly deserve all the pain coming their way.

If there are any...

Basically you poke the fork bits into the ground next to the divot at an angle and then push down to raise the divot.

Yep, talked to an old coworker from GA the day before. Got "neither party will help me". Doesn't take the threat from Trump seriously. I won't be talking to that person again.

No no no, the Democratic Party is some magical uncontrollable entity, we must abandon it, making progressive change infinitely more difficult.

/s if it wasn't obvious. Banana is a bad faith agitator. They desired a GOP victory.

Their own incompetence. That's about it.
