This, 100%. Leaving aside the total loser energy that emanates from the Democrats celebrating this, the fact is that when someone tries to overturn an election and then finds his away back to office, that’s a crisis of democracy. The very opposite of a triumph.
Contrary to what people like Harris and Schumer feel constrained to say, today shouldn't be regarded as a triumph for American democracy.
It should be viewed as confirming that the United States has *one* political party that will peacefully cede power when it loses an election. Until & unless... 1

John Roberts is very upset that the public has lost confidence in John Roberts and the institution John Roberts leads following a series of confidence-cratering actions by John Roberts and his colleagues, and therefore would like everyone to know that this is not John Roberts' fault, it's yours.

Just in time for his presidency, Elon has changed his online avatar to a white-supremacist hate symbol, his screen name to a 4chan slogan neo-Nazis favor (“kek”), and his bio icon to two swords.
This is your POTUS.
Are these also gamer symbols? Yes. Does he know they’re far more? You bet your ass.

I have students who are afraid to return to school; not because of a bully, a test, or academic stress; but because they’re scared their parents will be deported while they’re gone.

His entire presidency was built on protecting democracy and he'll leave Washington handing over the keys to a fascist promising to put immigrants in camps, terrorize trans people, and dismantle the government to give to the oligarchs.
Yeah, it's a massive failure.
Yeah, it's a massive failure.

The great thing about Republicans imploding and shutting down the government on the demands of a Neonazi billionaire is that swing voters have no idea any of that is happening and never will

My take is that she should snag the governorship of California. In the years ahead it will be a much more powerful position than I think she—or anyone—realizes.
A future presidential win is far from certain. It is not even clear what sort of meaningful national elections we will have going forward.

Don't assume maximalist outcomes for the Trump administration. That's a form of psychological surrender. We should attempt to exploit every stumble, failure, and misstep, and there will be stumbles, failures, and missteps.

The reason the corporate news and elites are trying to shame us for our reactions (or non-reactions) to the killing of a CEO of a greedy health insurance corporation is because they are afraid that if we really tap into our rage that we might actually rise up and take our power and consent back.
