    There are four lights.

    The Gul Madreds are out in force on this topic, stop painting it as anything less. I guess it’s good because it tells us exactly how it’s going to work the next 4.

    For starters, we have Guls now.

    “Trump won’t even be that bad, you LIBERALS are just fearmongering!”

    God. It’s going to be a long [insert period of time here]

          I mean… they didn’t though. That’s why they struggle to win in the general even though their platform as stated is good for the populace. When they don’t actually follow through on that, people have a hard time believing them even though they’re clearly the lesser of two evils.

          The Democrats foster their own worst enemy: voter apathy. And it doesn’t help that they also foster extremism in the opposition party and then turn around and try to extort the American public with it.

            You see the guy throwing the nazi salute up there? Ok? That’s what you get. For openers.

            The insanity will mount quickly. If you believe it’s worth it to “send a message to Democrats” I dunno what to say.

              Excuse me? I’ve voted for 3 people in a row that I didn’t believe deserved to be the nominee, let alone president. Every time I voted against them in the primaries because I didn’t believe they stood a good chance in the general, nor would they be good for the country while in office. For Kamala, I didn’t even get the opportunity to vote against her in the primary but I did vote for uncommitted delegates over Joe Biden. Every time, I voted for them in the general even though that vote was coerced through a corrupt system that refuses to let me vote for someone who actually represents me.

              8 goddamn years of listening to high and mighty people like you telling me how everything that’s happening is my fault even though I voted against what was happening at every turn. Fuck off.

      I’m calling it now. The MAGAs are all anxiously looking at each other, waiting to see what the blowback will be. When there inevitably is no real consequence or denouncement for elmo, the nazi salute will start to creep into the mainstream for them. About 85% will claim it’s just a gag to trigger the libs, but about 15% will be dead fuckin serious.

      At this point it doesn’t even matter whether he actually meant to do it, or if it was some stupendously awkward accident–the intent is pretty much irrelevant, all that matters is that the chuds know you have permission from the GOP to walk onto the stage in front of the world, give a full mask-off double Hitler, and you’ll be fine.
