I don’t know that that’s gonna work here. Like, I hope the movement shatters… but I’m not sure it will. American politics is deeply, deeply fucking stupid, and has been for a very long while.

The dumbest third of our country likes to think of it like football teams - whose players and coaches may come and go, but at the end of the day, they’re rabid fans of “their guys”. That’s what a lot of Republicans are nowadays. Uncritical, team-based/tribal adherence to dogma. And it’s going to fucking kill us all. I guess there’s some sort of cold solace in knowing it’s gonna kill them, too.
