With the ever increasing partisan gerrymandering arms race to allow permanent control of the House, likely R Congress passing an early and obviously partisan census to just blatantly say "Blue States" have tens of millions fewer citizens "because illegals", even the last vestiges of pretending to be a democratic Republic will be gone. Permanent supermajority in all three branches of government, making the USA a single party rule state permanently. I hate being doomer, but I'm having increasingly grim hope of the Republic even lasting until the midterms next year.

@JessTheUnstill@infosec.exchange We told people this would happen if they didn't vote for Harris. They called us hysterical and took great offense at having their moral and ethical purity criticized due to practical concerns.

The republicans even told us they'd do all this. The guy literally said, "Four more years, you know what? It'll be fixed, it'll be fine, you won't have to vote anymore."

But because Harris wasn't perfect, they chose to let the arsonists back in and reduce our world to cinders.

@Legit_Spaghetti@mastodo.neoliber.al @JessTheUnstill@infosec.exchange you're right, we could have all voted for Harris and waited 4 more years for this to happen (because the "lesser evil" just keeps getting more and more evil, and eventually they would just be the same, or the "more evil" would make Trump-likes into a "lesser evil")
But we're here now, so what are we gonna actually do about it besides complaining about leftists?

I have my doubts that there were actually enough "conscientious objectors" from the left to swing things. It's just that Democrats don't have any message that actually resonates with people anymore. They just run on "Trump bad", and "here's my 25 point moderate plan to maybe make things better in 10 years".
