No, it's not going to be "I told you so."

Conservatives will still blame Biden and dems for all the problems.

We told you the government doesn’t work! Just look how the government we elected doesn’t work.

[–] jballs@sh.itjust.works 34 points 2 days ago (1 children)

That's Conservative Playbook 101. Take something working well, intentionally break it, complain that it's broken and needs to be privatized, rinse and repeat.

What is the US Postal Service?

[–] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 17 points 2 days ago

It's the government office that handles mail delivery, but that's not important right now.

Also, there's a lot of people that will say, "don't be mean to them, that never changes their mind!" "talk to them, be empathetic"

Man, anyone suffering after voting for Trump deserves a big "fuck you".

Yeah, I will never forgive a 2024 Trump voter. They know who they voted for, they know who he is. No excuses this time. Trump voters claiming ignorance this time will not be accepted.

Yup, they still deflect to Hillary's emails and shit when you call out new cabinet positions. If we could harness their mental gymnastics into physical energy we'd solve the climate crisis.

Over Christmas my mom showed me her new "Lock Her Up!" shirt. It's been almost 10 years since Clinton has been relevant, move on.

When there is no big cultural identity for everyone to pretend to be or superheroes, pirates or whatever, this is the culture that idiots have to latch onto.
Makes them still feel like they are part of a club that secludes others.

Not if historic patterns repeat.

Clinton, Dubya, Obama, and Trump all went into office with control of Congress and lost it at the mid-terms, so it's not unlikely that a portion of voters will flip in 2026.

They'll be back in 2028 though, when the Dems nominate Gavin Newsom and try replay this 'joy and unity' bullshit again.

Right, there's no satisfaction in pointing out the results of a conservative power grab. Their narcissism makes them immune to introspection or self-awareness.

Who cares about conservatives? we talkin about who didnt vote or those "swing voters"

[–] NineMileTower@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

We talkin bout practice.

[–] CitizenKong@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

It's the deeeeeep state!

[–] batmaniam@lemmy.world 0 points 2 days ago

Don't forget the "I wish dems did better!". You and me. Both but... Buckle up.
