I highly doubt the left will do anything uncivil. How can they win back the country? Is it too late?

    I like the sentiment, but that is predicated on there being another election under the same rule set which would allow either party to win. If things come to pass with the unitary executive theory outlined in Project 2025 and the dictatorship desires that have already been declared, makes it unlikely votes will work to change political parties going forward…

      And the “deep state”, meaning actual subject matter experts doing their jobs throughout government for years, regardless of current administration, are all going to be replaced by kid rock and vaping young republicans fresh from dropping out of their second semester in at The University of Southern Alabama State.

      That’s who’s going to be the dude inspecting your meat for e.coli and signing off on the clinical trials for you’ve perception meds - Gunner, Hunter and Ryder.

      Really don’t think anyone is considering the reality of how deeply fucked we’re going to be looking at the front door for obvious signs of trouble, while they leaf the crawlspace with fertilizer and gasoline and kick in the backdoor with flamethrowers in hand.

      Some of this outcome will depend on how effectively they execute. But let’s say they do. Then. in the paraphrased words of JFK:

      “He who makes reform impossible. makes revolution inevitable.”

      Now that isn’t a pretty future, or a nice future. But that’s what happens when a people resigns itself to performing democracy instead of protecting it.
