    "we've been here before"

    Flashbacks to 2016

    And that doesn't alarm you? I can't be the only person who remembers how in 2016, the democrats refused to acknowledge any problems and instead tried to rely on republicans being unelectable while they fuckin yucked it up with Goldman Sachs and Co., can I?

      "Hopefully trump wins because he'll be the easiest to beat"

      "Those polls saying trumps gonna win are garbage because all the respondants are old people on landlines"

      "Sure everybody's saying they hate Hillary and are literally telling us they just wont vote but when the time comes they'll line up for her"

      "How could anybody have possibly foreseen this coming"

      This is probably r/politics, they don't remember that far back

      or if they do, they just blame it on literally everything but material conditions

        If by literally anything but material conditions you mean people who explicitly said they won't support neoliberal policies ahead of time.
