    Telling libs that chastise me for saying the US is irredeemable with reforms through electoral politics that they should all register as Republicans and change the GOP from the inside is fun

    Also works for telling them to join the NRA to advocate for fun (lol typo) gun control from the inside

    Some of them get mad and say it's different than voting for "harm reduction" by supporting Democrats somehow, and some just short circuit

      lmao I've never thought of that. I've heard people say before that changing the dems from the inside is about as easy as changing the republicans. Telling libs they should join the republicans as a rebuttal for their "vote blue no matter who" shtick sounds like an excellent bit.
