Pretty sure we are already cooked frankly. Even if we get Republicans out, It's more than likely old guard Democrats will stick around. And they will do nothing... again. So that next time republicans win (and they will within a few cycles, tops. people here are dumb. Really, really dumb.) they will still be free to keep doing the bullshit they are doing now.

Don't get me wrong, I'm still gonna vote. I'm still gonna fight this shit in whatever other ways are available to me as a non-wealthy citizen. Admittedly that doesn't add up to much but still, ya gotta do what ya can, even if it feels fruitless. Rolling over and giving up just gets us even more extreme fascism even faster.

If it bugs them that badly, I say people need to do it even more.

Golly, if only someone could have prevented this...

Give it a couple days. Every one of them will say they always 100% supported the war. Never thought Trump was in the wrong for even a second. Nope, not me.

Not at all dystopian. Orwell would approve!
