I was gonna title this "And here I sit so patiently waiting to find out what price you have to pay to get out of going through all these things twice" and then write "Stuck inside of America with the fascism blues again" here, but I'm not sure if that comes off like gloating and that's honestly the last thing I want to do this morning.
I mean I would love to believe there are trns of millions of silent far left protest abstentions, but the fact of the matter is seventy million plus motherfuckers actively went for the overt fascists. Tens of millions more didn't care enough to at least go third party. This was a turnout problem, not a protest vote problem.
Okay, and how do you get voters to turn out?
Well the argument being made here is that the campaign's strategy actively depressed turnout.
So not doing normalizing the opposition and implementing the policies your voting base tends to oppose.
Or maybe it's a fascist problem. It's not just the US either. My latest thinking is that microplastics are eroding empathy in human brains. May sound crazy, but put it next to some of Kennedy's ideas...
Yeah it is definitely a fascist problem.
