I'm sorry you feel that way. I welcome your mockery if we have something resembling a normal 2026 midterm and 2028 general.

I'm a little surprised so many folks don't seem to realize we have crossed a threshold that may indeed spell the end of the US as we have known it up to now, and seem to think this was just another election. But, I guess for folks who haven't witnessed that many of our elections in their lifetime it might seem that way.

If more people did realize that, I'd have a lot more faith that we're going to be able to stop it.

I agree "folks don't seem to realize we've crossed a threshold" and seem willing to just curl up and die.

Fuck that noise.

Well, we're clearly talking about two different thresholds, but my happiness doesn't require us to agree, and yours shouldn't either.

Good day to you!

I suppose that's true, you have a great day too!
