It looked, for a day or two, on January the 6th and 7th, like they might have given it up finally but it's come roaring back with a vengeance.
Why? Is it because you kids can use it to pass voter suppression laws?
Is it because you think you can't win without tRump?
Of maybe you just got so much invested in it you can't back out without looking like an idiot at this point?
I mean you guys have seriously gone over the edge here. Gilded idols, nazi symbolism, trips to Florida to kiss the ass, sorry I mean ring, firmly denying any attempt to help the American people...
Why do you continue to embrace the crazy?
Not everyone who thinks the system is rigged started with that idea after 2020. Plenty of people had serious doubts in the credibility of the system as far back as 2000. I'm one of those people. The last election I voted in was 2012 for Gary Johnson. Shortly thereafter, the similarities between the main parties on certain key issues made it very clear to me that we are faced with an illusion of choice. I've always voted third party on principle, but after a while, I realized voting itself was rather silly.
Trump was an interesting phenomenon, because the elites clearly hated him, but what happened in 2020 was a little more blatant than what I expected to happen. I knew they would find a way to remove him, but I figured they'd be more subtle about it. Nowadays, they're not even trying to be subtle about things, and half of the public is dumb enough to still think the system isn't corrupted.
There is a side to this that I understand, however. It would be much easier for me to ignore the ugliness of our system and tell myself that I'm free than to face it. I don't know how many people consciously make this decision vs. subconsciously, but either way, it doesn't change reality.
I'm sure a lot of things seem crazy if you don't look behind the curtain. But when you do, everything changes.
