      I bet the fights, screaming matches, broken lamps, slammed doors and broken phones in the white house over the last week has been fucking glorious. I would pay thousands to be a fly on a wall there just to watch these unhinged freaks become unhinged freaks at each other when everything starts going off course.

      They thought it would be different by now. They expected more legal victories (it’s not covered but they’ve lost a LOT of ground in courts) and they thought they would have a stronger public mandate, they thought liberal, middle-class America would be looking at them like saviors and heroes by now, they thought their WWE fireworks and spectacle would win over more than the same, steady 28% - 30% of the country.

      But here we are, Trump is becoming unmanageable and may literally just DIE at any moment, they’ve made reverse progress getting JD Vance ready to take the reigns, and everyone is just staring at Miller, this egg-headed wormtongue that keeps feeding Trump schizoid lines because he’s basically just Elliot Rogers reincarnated. And now there are waves of rolling strikes going around, and the conservatives broadly are absolutely enraged about threats to their guns. Even the liberal nightly news is on network TV is outright saying Trump and his admin are making shit up. The tide is turning sharply.

      There is some satisfaction in all this.

        Oh it’s absolutely beautiful. For the first time in a year and a half, I’m not fucking ashamed of my tribe; and I look forward to feeling similar about my government.

        Yoo. Ess. Ay.
