The Far-Right Told Us What It Had Planned. We Didn’t Listen. Wednesday wasn’t Trumpism’s “last gasp.” It was the manifestation of a long-held fantasy. And most perpetrators walked away, uncuffed, to fight another day.

Exactly. Storming a capitol is not like taking over a fucking Target. One is just vandalism. The other is a coup.

Those people should’ve been shot down the minute they passed the capitol doors. Anything else just invites the same thing again. Don’t like it, don’t attempt coups.

Democrats will have complete control of the federal government for two full years.

They can pack the court.
They can end the wars.
They can cut the (monthly) checks.
They can guarantee healthcare.
They can forgive student and medical debt.

If they don’t, you know who to blame.

But you know they won’t do any of those things. Because just as with Obama, they don’t want to.

Of course with the “Go, team, go!” mentality, Dems and “liberals” will do nothing but make pitiful excuses the whole time for the failure and inaction — right up until they lose the mid-terms and thus the House in 2022, and the presidency to Nikki Haley or Trump again in 2024.

I guarantee it.

Yeah, funny how often Zeynep writes something, people spend months telling her how she’s stupid and wrong and then exactly what she said would happen happens.

I know the feeling, though she’s better than me. And I don’t say that about many people.
