The right is 100% going to win by election in 4 years unless they ROYALLY screw up. The dems are going to do absolutely nothing of material value over the next 4 years, and all the right has to do is get up there and hammer that home. Which they do anyways. Assuming the democrats DO actually accomplish anything, the right just has to get up there and talk about how that thing is communist and how it’s destroying America. Which they do anyways.

So that leaves 2 options. Both of which result in dems losing:

Option 1: We get another Trump like in 4-8 years, but this time they’re competent, and America collapses into fascism

100% this. Yesterday proved just how easy it would be to pull off a right wing coup here in America. This felt like a test run. If Trump wasn't so stupid and worried about his ego, he could've totally pulled this off. Those people yesterday had the backing of police and half of the GOP supporting them. Somewhere out there, there's another fascist like Trump who is vowing not to make the same mistakes.

Yesterday also proved how useless liberals are and I hope people now realize it when they go on and on about "radicalizing libs". Amidst a coup, they'll just get on Twitter and whine, moan and cry in the same smug, condescending way that they love. They'll make 'white privilege' trend as a hash tag and try to explain away that what's going on, totally isn't the result of the system, and all we need to do is vote for another status quo loving neoliberal to get back to normal. Then sit there and wonder why the cops are protecting fascists and aren't arresting them.

Biden said a few weeks ago after the checks were removed from the relief bill that the government wasn't supposed to help people and no one should ask for a hand out .Several Dems came out this week to use conservative talking points about how "it's too much" and "a hand out".

I can tell you this from yesterday, my entire family will probably never vote Democrat again. We're all poor and the thought of $2,000 to pay off debt and get some help, that is a great deal to them. All I heard yesterday was how shocked they were that Trump of all people offered this. "This is what Democrats should be doing. This is what I used to vote for them in hopes that they would do. How did anyone truly think Joe Biden of all people was going to help us?" that was the words of my uncle who quit voting for them after the 90s.

 

Apart from this article, I have to say it was quite an experience having Christmas yesterday and all my family talked about was the $2,000 checks. Trump comes out of this looking like the good guy after more than one Dem has publicly talked about how bad this would be.

The 2008-2009 recession. I watched my parents nearly lose everything as the floor fell out from under their feet. Spent the remainder of my teens working to help them and later support them in my early 20s. Several years of adulthood wasted trying to make sure they could survive.

When Obamacare passed, it hit me again when I was forced to buy insurance and looking over everything I was offered and suddenly realized it was a scam. The entire thing was a bail out for insurance companies. I could barely afford one plan and none of them covered dental. I will never forget going home, pulling up the actual bill online and reading it. I sat there for an hour thinking to myself; how the fuck is this supposed to help me or ANYONE who is poor? Only people being helped are insurance companies.

I had a friend growing up who was able to travel the world with a church ministry. One thing he told me after we reached adulthood and it stuck with me in my mind. He traveled all over the world and said that he kept asking himself growing up; how come I see poor people everywhere I go? He left the church and started reading Marx and Stalin and I feel blessed I had him as something of a mentor to guide me.

The "harm reduction" is that he's not Trump. Seriously. That's it. Really.

Libs are just screaming at people "do you want Trump back!?" even though this has absolutely fucking nothing to do with Trump. Biden said it. Biden won the presidency. He deserves to be called out for talking like a fucking white supremacist.

Greenwald is the "anti-SJW leftist" and that's what he's going to sell himself on now that he's gone. That's been his thing for a while now, apart from going on Tucker Carlson's show often and agreeing with him on a variety of issues.

They are definitely going to rehabilitate Trump and will start praising him for something, like they do Bush over his wars.

"Yeah, I didn't support him back then but Trump was really funny! And he said hateful stuff but at least he didn't always follow up on it. Besides, he was right about calling the protesters looters and thugs, Biden agrees and that's why it's so great that he and Harris pushed to jail them indefinitely and push for life sentences"
