The future seems not that bad now that I know we won't be seeing an entire generation of Republicans

We've been thinking that for three generations and somehow they're still here

They are children! They are victims here.

Edit: the fact this got downvoted, the fact there are people who will gladly punish children for the actions of their parents, what a hellish world we live in.

Those kids are doomed anyway.

"Those kids" go to school with my kids, and my wife is allergic to the measles vaccination. Which means she is susceptible to it.

Please try to care.

I care about that. But what else can we do? I am just trying to find a silver lining in all this because I am going to lose people to. But at least the Republicans go extinct
