      I kept telling people that Frederick Douglas helped Lincoln’s campaign at a time when Lincoln couldn’t promise to end slavery. I got called every name in the book for suggesting that a less than perfect candidate was much better than an absolute fascist.

      My conservative relatives on the wealthier side are upset, at least. These economic policies and Musk’s foolishness have soured them enough to question their media consumption.

      We are NOT winning, we are NOT sitting here smug while the conservatives whither into the background, they are fucking in control of the world’s wealthiest, most powerful country and they are celebrating every day.

      You just described my mom’s YouTube feed. Just metric fucking tons of copium. The Midas Touch has like 20 videos a day, each of them with titles like Trump BLASTED by Immigration JUDGE! or Trump suffers MAJOR LOSS and FREAKS OUT or Trump has PANICKED MELTDOWN as he meets HIS FATE in COURT!!1!

      None of this is true. It’s all happy fantasy. The sky is literally falling, but these fuckwits are saying it’s ok, go have a picnic, everything is working out, and all you have to do is go look outside and see THEY’RE COMPLETELY FULL OF SHIT.

      One side is setting everything on fire, while the “other” side is busting out marshmallows and graham crackers.
