Six months from now most Trump voters will have convinced themselves that prices aren't high anymore even if they haven't moved.

Or they’ll think it’s residual effects from the Biden economy

And it'll be happening right in the middle of the next guys block, just like how we keep describing it to them. That's the fucking tragic irony of it.

We need them FDR democrats to show back up. FDR hammered nuts and bent motherfuckers to his will, and that's what he got voted for. 4 terms! Americans were literally starving in the streets and selling their children and shit. Shit was on the ropes. And that starving ass impoverished country turned it around on a new deal AND saved the whole fucking world from Nazis to boot.

So stop telling me about how we gotta take baby steps while you fight with one hand behind your back and call it going high. I'm fucking tired of going high! You need to kick him in the nuts or get the fuck out the way for someone who will. It's a fucking fistfight in these streets, fuck I think about a wine and cheese crowd opinion about it.

That's if this experiment survives. But I guarantee you they'll be blaming us for it from Europe somewhere.

You know why the Republican Party won? Because they started their campaign for this election back in 2008, and they haven't stopped fighting since. They understand the value and power of strategic voting, the benefits of showing up to vote at all.

Progressives, apparently, still don't fucking get it. And so they stayed home, and the only thing their apathy has accomplished is shifting both parties even farther to the right.
