In their defense:
They’re so hopelessly delusional about their own value and intelligence, while in fact being less competent than a learning-disabled chihuahua is at quantum physics, that their politically nihilistic misanthropy could in fact just be a contributing factor behind their staggering incompetence.
Our president violated criminal laws. It’s always the right time to focus on it until he’s behind bars. Giving in to gish galloping is how we lost in 2024, and how we continue to lose.
Yes, but last election we could only muster two years of campaigning. We have to keep extending the election news cycle, since we build up a tolerance, and so it takes us all longer to create detailed suicide plans.
Remember that CDs, CDRs, and so on were originally pitched as surviving 100 years. Turns out they last a highly variable amount of time but potentially as little as 2-3 years before they degrade, depending on the construction.
So I’ll just say, this is clearly a theoretical value.

I hope we get there. But even that would be a return to status quo.
The typical cycle is democrats come in, do crisis control, enact stable (if lacking ambition) policies and leadership, and at year four or eight, the voters have forgotten the crisis and… Promptly vote back in republicans, who spend the next years systematically dismantling all progress until we’re back in crisis. Repeat. Happening since at least 1992.
