the “calm down, the GOP won’t do THAT” crowd will always be with us, but they’re increasingly making smug noises at cavernous, empty rooms

it is also nice to know that this is absolutely driving them nuts.

One of the reasons I like Faine is that she always makes fun of the idiotic “But that could never happen” narrative. It’s always been false but it was the accepted worldview for 15-20 years on a lot of things. Now those people are fewer but still out there.
