    You would think with how convinced they seem of this kind of doomsday scenario, that you'd see a lot of liberals organizing. I suspect they are enjoying the pretense of fighting an epic battle of good vs evil (where evil is thwarted by an election), but deep down they know that "nothing will fundamentally change" (at least as far as their treats are concerned).

      It's so disingenuous too. America already brutalizes huge masses of people and liberals don't care.

        Look how they cheered on the college protests getting smashed up. Or go on your local "overheard in _______ town" Facebook page and watch them braying for homeless peoples blood.

      They really like the trappings of being revolutionary, but are all just hoping that Biden wins so they don't have to skip brunch.

        Uh, I might also like those trappings... But I don't think they'll even skip brunch. Really they'll removed and moan about single issue (genocide) voters, and then idk... increase their monthly contributions to the DNC?

        I get that. I meant that with the stakes so high, and the outcome so uncertain, that they might be thinking of a backup plan.

          The backup plan is to just fundraise like crazy off all the angry liberals who had their brunch interrupted and then do nothing.

          It worked in 2016
