      Look we need to get the last Republican seat and have all 100 seats of the Senate so that the 60 good Democrats can out-vote the 40 Sinemas, Manchins, Libermans, etc.

      That really was something. I can never be in any executive position now because the trauma of democratic politics means I'd just shoot anyone who raised any procedural objection to anything, while screaming something about pastafarians.

    That will supersede these obnoxious state laws

    The conservatives will whine about muh States rights and the Supreme Court will rule this violates the 10th Amendment. The Democrats will roll over and do nothing.

        Almost literally, given all the shit the GOP has pulled. "JUST STAY IN LINE THEY MUST LET YOU VOTE!" Like fuck's sake SEND SOME TROOPS TO PROTECT THE POLLS YOU FUCKS.

      With all the tianemen (my mispelling of Tienanmen tried to autocorrect to dementia lol) posting I'm really starting to believe that a lot of Libs live in a completely mythical reality governed by invisible powers and there's no connection to any kind of concrete, material understanding of history or even how their own institutions work.

        I remember reading this lib op-ed piece sometime around the 2016 election that made this metaphorical argument that Hillary was the bright, prepared student who sat at the front and always had an answer ready for the teacher, while Trump and Bernie were the ner-do-wells sitting in the back and making trouble. I thought while reading it, “but who’s the teacher in this analogy?” They see the whole system’s power and legitimacy not emerging out of any actual institution but from unseen, professorial figure, and that if you put too much politics in your politics they’ll give you a bad grade. Probably explains how much fretting they do about what the history writers of tomorrow will say. Which, as you said below, it ends up resembling religious struggle as it’s all about worrying how they imagine an abstract authority figure will judge them.

          Yeah. It's frustrating realizing so much of my past frustrations were bc I was trying to argue facts against something that was more like religious faith.

          And if we're going to pull out the "everything is projection" cliche it would explain why some of them insist Communism is a religion.

      I think their beliefs are rooted in mysticism and the transformation of politics in to a religious struggle, so they don't actually need to be grounded in reality to motivate their true believers.

    I'm not even going to try to speculate on who is going to win this season. With all the voter fuckery going on the GOP state and the massive, massive government failures, the massive increase in the costs of housing and food, and the fetid footsteps of the imperial-lichocracy I can't even begin to guess. We are in extreme interesting times and I can no longer meaningfully prognosticate. (prognosticate is such a cool word). It just means "guess" but you sound like such an asshole when you use it it's delicious.

    I don't know what you're talking about, but I'm pretty sure Lucy won't pick the football up this time. Now get out of the way so I can get a running start.

    Maybe I've been awake for too long, but upon reading this, for some reason all I could think of was Sam Neill at the end of In the Mouth of Madness laughing until he breaks. Do we have that as an emote?
