As we know, libs refuse to believe their system does not work. However, they also believe that it shouldn't be possible to elect someone like Trump in this system. They don't know how to reconcile this contradiction.

Last two elections there was the constant blaming of "Bernie bros" until Biden finally won. Bernie is fully behind Biden now so I don't think they'll try this angle. There was the whole Mueller thing (I still don't know what even came out of that??) and the media constantly reporting that THIS TIME Trump will finally go down, though this reporting is still going on. They had the Women's March which was the closest thing to praxis but it was clearly a waste of time with no plan to actually get anything done. There was the sudden need to blame Russia for election interference and general racism against Russians which is still ongoing. Does anyone remember Cambridge Analytica?

At the moment I'm seeing libs asking everyone to excuse supporting genocide because we need to keep the cheeto out of the White House. But I feel like their brains are going to break when the cheeto does get back in the White House.

I unironically believe we are going to see a lot of full-on mask off racism to pretty much every POC group that didn't vote hard enough, or some slight deviation from the norm. If we see group X vote slightly differently and that slight difference can be used to explain why someone lost, they start saying racist words we have heard since like the 18th century.

It will be a weird blend of straight up racism and victim blaming as well and that weird sort of bold self-congratulating libs love. They will be jerks and feel good about it.

It doesn’t even have to make a difference! Remember 2016, when Dems blamed Jill Stein voters for Hilldawg’s loss? Even if every single Green Party vote had gone to the Dems instead, the electoral result would have been the exact same, most Green Party votes coming from blue states anyway. Nevertheless, libs blamed the 2016 loss squarely on Stein and the Fraternal Order of Bernard Brethren.

My first thought as well, particularly since turnout is all but guaranteed to be low. They do this every cycle.
