Yeah not trying to be a Doomer but had a blue wave in 2018 and a solid Dem year in 2020 and we are worse off than ever lol it basically did not matter at all.
I’ll take any and all wins but haven’t really seen anything to suggest this isn’t just the same thing we went through from 2017-2020.

My takeaway from last night is that Republicans are in deep trouble next year but even a D+10-12 political environment in 2026 feels pretty underwhelming all things considered.
They’re looting the country and have Gestapo agents kidnapping people and states like Iowa still probably won’t flip.

If we had elected Kamala Harris we wouldn't sit here doom scrolling because the would be no doom to scroll.
Sure you'd be bitching about something else but at least we'd have vaccines, a chance at protecting women's rights, a decent economy, free and fair elections, I could go on...

As was clear during Trump 1, roughly 37% of Americans are committed to white supremacy &/or Christian nationalism, no matter the cost. Very much reminds me of the Reconstruction South, which doubled down on the plantation regime that had destroyed the country in the aftermath of emancipation.

The news is a torrent of horrors. Glee in domination and crimes against humanity. Dystopian tech and financialization. Antihuman futurism. All championed by sociopaths and raw id. We should be calling for humanistic moral revival, whether religious or secular.

This sale is a disaster for the city of Los Angeles. I stand with the WGA, the DGA, and every other worker that powers Hollywood.
Theatrical releases are what make movies both magical and profitable. Without them, the industry, and in turn, Los Angeles, will suffer.

This is why, every time I hear weak-knee Dems or Dem pundits/consultants talking about how they can appeal to Trump voters, I get irrationally angry. The goal isn’t to embrace racists and fascists. The goal is to provide the alternative that lets voters kick racists and fascists into the wilderness.
It has long been clear that unalloyed racism lies at the core of Trumpism, and he is becoming increasingly explicit about this.

This is the core reason I cannot ever buy into a class-based argument for what ails America. In America, among whites, race is our foremost social and political priority.
Sad truth is the majority of y’all would rather suffer than see Black Folks have opportunities in this country...especially the older generations.
Your grandparents have been voting this way for decades but you want to blame everyone but them.
Nope. Fix your shit.

The official policy of the Trump Administration is ignorant bigotry. We’re asked, under principles including charity, to assume that people support the administration despite that policy, not specifically because of it. I am increasingly unwilling to extend that charity.
