There is no way they’re going to go lightly on Gaza now. They want to punish the people who refused to vote for them over genocide. They want to make the suffering so severe that it’s going to scar anyone who even thought - for a naive moment - of punishing the Democrats for committing genocide by withholding their votes.
They want to crush your hope. They want you to feel like you have no other choice but to vote for them in the midterms 2 years from now, or you deserve Trump who is even worse against the Muslims, ethnic and LGBT minorities. They want to beat you into submission and strip away every last shred of dignity you ever had.
The real question is whether the millions of American voters who sat out in the 2024 election will be so scared of living under Trump and beaten into voting for the Democrats again in the midterms? If so, then nothing will change. The System wins, it just needs to be patient for a little while.
One thing is for certain: they will never yield to your demands.
They aren't going to scar anyone more than they have the past year, there's nothing worse they can do. We've already seen the barbarity, the dead children, the destroyed homes, the immolated people. Let's not pretend like they're doing anything they wouldn't have done if Kamala won.
There are no demands. No one is falling for that again. Not voting was spitting in their face for their unrepentant evil.
We’ll know soon enough by 2026 how many people would be scared enough to vote for the Democrats again.
I’d say at least half of the people who sat out of this election would be made to think that it’s just not worth trying to “punish” the Democrats when the punishment being dished out is to suffer under unhinged MAGA administration. It’s just the system disciplining the voters.
The annihilation of third party in this election ensured that this will almost certainly be the case in two years’ time. What else are the people going to do? Keep letting the GOP win?
