I recall a similar number despair in the 2000s after W won the second time. Dems still won elections but way too many wanted to opt and say it was over. That Karl Rove was right about that "permanent Republican majority". Then...we know what happened next.
This time, the damage is more severe, the consequences more lasting. But really...why is everyone thinking this is it? We may less when this is done but we WILL survive.
Yes we will survive this, and we WILL rebuild this making sure people like Trump do not happen again, and to make MAGA and the Freedom Caucus, and the Tea Party radioactive.
The bigotry of the GOP is now open for everyone to see since the establishment no longer has very tight control over their party’s discourse to make the GOP still supportive of democracy. And we have already learned that the GOP base blindly falls in line almost all the time behind whoever their leader is and doesn’t care about the feelings of the general American populace.
Yeah that's cult-like let's be real. Also the indies/moderates who voted for Trump should had realized that A) the Dems had control of the House in 2019. and B) 2019 was gearing up to be the last "normal" year, and C) Trump fumbled the COVID Pandemic.
It turned out to be a GOP thing during Biden’s four years, as the base continued to be supportive of Trump and didn’t pivot away from him for the sake of the health of American democracy.
I’ll never understand why so many folks are in a hurry to give up on rights and freedoms that haven’t been taken from them. Like, the moment there’s a *threat* to your freedom you’re just going to immediately proceed as if your freedom is already gone? WTH?! 🤨
Yeah we should have gotten Rid of the EC but that's going to take all of us to capture even southern state legislatures to have a Dem Majority to get rid of it. If we had popular votes, then Trump and GWB would not have won.

It's called learned helplessness.
The question is: will those who didn't vote for Kamala actually come out in force or should we not get our hopes up?
That's their cross to bear and most dems hold them responsible.
As long as the Electoral College exists?
