    Trumpsters suddenly deciding that Kavanaugh is in fact a rapist in response to this is one of the funniest things to come out of the copium train.

        Supreme Court refused the Texas case. Thomas and Alito said it should be allowed but they'd throw it out as soon as they heard it. They failed so damn hard its unimaginable.

        The Supreme Court, including Kavanaugh, rejected Trump's sad attempt to throw out results in battleground states, so they got their knickers in a twist.

    Everyone is acting like it's a Trump cult and that they'll follow him to any end, but they're starting to turn on him to. It's a cult on owning the libs and winning, and as soon as Trump corncobs they'll ditch him.

      They've had a taste of blood and now they want more. This is why I think tom cotton is going to end up pretty high up in the republican nomination because Don Jr. Is a fucking idiot but says things they like but he is just so stupid and people know this. Tom cotton embodies everything in their ideology and but is more professional in a way that the religious right likes, similar to Pence

          Don Sr. is a buffoon, but at least he projects confidence. Don Jr. smells like desperation, which is probably why the fash don't like him as much.

      You might have a false dichotomy there. Conservative media and its base act as a dialectic and define one another. One of the unique things about chuds is their media gives them what they want. They're told exactly what they like to hear. If one outlet is declared traitorous, they have another. The capitalist media and their delusional petty grievance anger are both what tames them. They're one and the same. This is one of the reasons why I'm skeptical any true mass action will come from chuds based on this. As long as they have a media outlet reinforcing their beliefs, maybe even telling them Trump is the real president, they're perfectly content to stew and drive themselves into further internet brain madness.

        Good point. I'm curious to see if MAGA/chuds will vote republicans next time and how the republican party will handle it. I suppose even now there really isn't enough of them to matter. But yeah, capital in general is fine with them larping and driving themselves sphere brained.

      The Supreme Court won't ever do a coup because they don't need to. Some people on this sub for some reason seem to simultaneously downplay and overestimate the rivalry between republicans and democrats. They're on the same team, coups only bring instability, why would they need to coup the system that's working just fine? They'd only consider a coup if some kind of actual leftist won some election, but I don't see that happening any time soon.

          Biden won on a margin not much larger than Hillary lost by. And after having the most generous media coverage since Reagan won in '84.

          Bernie would have been demolished, in no small part because Pete Buttigieg decided to run third party and spend three months exclusively trashing Bernie in swing states.

            Whatever happened to "running people with bold policy wins elections and attracts nonvoters, Democrats lose (or barely win) because they run centrists), the media shitting on Bernie would only embolden his base because it actually plays directly into what people find appealing to him, he polled well in the states that matter, moderates barely exist and aren't worth appealing to, ect ect ect." Are we dropping that? Is this because Corbyn lost?

              Corbyn getting dragged through the mud is a great example of what a media out to get you can do.

              Bernie's politics are solid, but his rhetoric isn't unique, as Warren illustrated. If he won the primary, there would be a high profile Third Way challenger. The liberal vote would be split and Trump would win with his horde of pilled loyalists - of which the general demonstrated an ample surplus.

      Honestly giving the Dems both the house and senste is, IMO, the fastest way to radicalize people. Be sure we know if they get it their will be no more rational sounding excuses for why they can’t pass sweeping policy, which of course they will not do. Leading to more people relaxing they are a sham and moving left.

      We already see it with so many Dems kissed at Pelosi for her terrible handling of stimulus.

        No more rational sounding excuses? You are underestimating them.

        For decades they will have the republican supreme court to blame for their own apathy. And being libs they can always use the good old appeal to civility and bipartisanship to prevent progressive change: "I see you and I hear you but banning evictions of families with disabled children would be too divisive. Instead of tearing apart the fabric of the American soul we pledge to reach across the aisle and work with republicans to provide families affected by evictions a tax break for mental health councelling".
