y'all don't get it do you. It hasn't sunk in yet.
Don't worry, you'll get there. Probably in about six months.
Say it then. We're in the period of time where we must critically evaluate the failures of the political machine that delivered this. I'm trying my level best to provide detailed, informative assessment of what I'm seeing without resorting to vitriol or anger, both online and in real life. If you have additional details, provide them. This is the time for vigorous debate, and reassessment, and I see the Democrats as much more of allies than the Republicans, so if you, or any other liberal can get past the phase where you're upset with the leftists who have broadly provided critical support for the Democratic coalliton, I welcome your input.
have you not been on lemmy the last six months or are you just blind?
Blue conservatives jerking themselves off over what trump will do to the people they dislike is so fucking god damn cringe.
Fuck First-past-the-post voting for making me have to be "allies" with you.
If you actually read Project 2025, I doubt you would feel the same way.
I find people using the word "cringe" as an adjective embarrassing. I'm embarrassed for you.
You know what the problem with socialists like you is? You went AWOL on us while we had the fascists on the ropes. Why in God's name you would make an enemy out of both the fascists and the Democrats, I have no idea. But you guys did it, now we're all done.
So don't worry, the feeling is mutual. I really don't think that we're gonna have to worry about that after the next six months though.
Be sure to stock up on your Victory Gin and have a double plus good time before they open the "re-education camps".
It's funny that even with this much of a massive loss, you diehard democrats find a way to blame leftists. If such a massive margin of loss is the result of leftists, then that would mean leftists are too big of a group to ignore, but ignore is all you and the rest of the democratic party strategists did during the election so that you could instead curry favor with war criminals like dick cheney and telling people that their concerns of genocide don't matter. Turns out democrats are more scared of leftists gaining any power than they are of project 2025.
I voted for Harris but if "you guys" were really responsible for loosing then we should have given "them" more representation. But hey, at least this way we don't have to blame Zionists, transphobies, xenophobes, or misogynists. Right?
Oh I get it now. You're saying that "there won't be a next election". Careful with the self fufulling prophecies. If you don't want to succumb to that, I recommend getting involved locally. Whoever you trust electorally will need your help now to build a bulwark for 2026, and getting your hands dirty will help you get over the pessimism.

no amount of getting involved will stop it from happening.
first major protest will likely be a bloodbath.
would love to be wrong, but I doubt it.
