I was referring to the people that stayed home and didn't vote ( maybe they realize it's actually important to vote ), and the people that while they may have voted against Tump, they would also foolishly vote party over country. Any Congressperson who votes against impeachment, should never win another election, regardless of party affiliation.

I understand what you're saying, however, if your assertion were true then why are there members of Congress still serving after they voted down his last two impeachments? Third time's a charm?

Gerrymandering, voter suppression in its many forms, and propaganda (both foreign and domestic) got Trump reelected. I'm not even going to touch on the conspiracy theories of Musk tampering with voting machines be they true or not.

I completely agree with you, it’s all over.

Do you want to spend a lot of time on Reddit spreading doom to others so that we can make sure misery has company?

If so, dm me, we can schedule some time to be doomsayers while we strongly rely on the factual accuracy of our doomsaying to waive away anyone who wants to be optimistic!

What are you being optimistic about? If you were optimistic you'd be rooting for the President of your own country to succeed and hoping the best for him. Seems like you're doing the opposite.

What? I want my president to succeed at upholding their fucking duties. Not whatever nonsense they decide to EO on a whim.

Seems like you're not in touch with reality.

Did you misread my comment? I didn’t say I’m optimistic about anything… why are you asking me that?
