      Even if the democrats come back into power, they’ll be too wussy to punish the genocidal maniacs who were in power before them

      Politics has always pendulums back and forth. We may have swung way out in one direction but I still have hope it will swing back again, we will have elections again, people will want hope and change, want to add truth to the meaningless platitudes they made the mistake of voting for.

      If we return to democracy, return to the rule of law, justice can happen

        Sure, if that all happens, but it won’t. We’re in a new world now. Rachel Maddow said it the other night: We’re no longer waiting for IT to come, it’s here. All the things we were warning against during the campaign have now arrived, and will continue to arrive. We are no longer warning about the danger of a Fascist Government, we now have that Fascist Government.

        So your confidence in fair elections, or even having elections at all, is misplaced.

        Totally. It’ll happen in like 50 years. Many of us will be dead by then, including those in power rn.
