    You’re not wrong. Problem is the dems don’t care, they’re just gonna fundraise off this. It’s hard to take their “he’s the next hitler!!!” bleating seriously when they’re just gonna hand over power like it’s not a real threat. Weimar Republic vibes.

      They absolutely will. Even today, they’re sending out fundraising emails for recounts or whatever. The emails start with things like “I know you’re upset and things didn’t go the way we wanted” and then launch into “SEND US $5, $10”. It’s really pretty ridiculous.

      All I can hope for is that he isn’t actually as authoritarian as everyone and everything seems to indicate. We’ll see I guess.

      They do the same thing when they talk about climate change. It makes everyone think it’s just politics as usual. I think it’s part of the reason people see them as so unauthentic…because they have to be lying in some way otherwise they wouldn’t be behaving the way they are.
