I see one of the major Muslim groups that in essence defected from Biden, Harris and the Democrats to support Lumpy has expressed shock and dismay that Lumpy’s putative cabinet is so pro-Israel, so anti-Palestinian and generally unacceptable to them. I have a feeling that they will be quite a few more of these awakenings, where various heretofore “Democratic” groups defected to Lumpy on some point of principle or other and will now confess that his actions and policies are not what they expected and certainly unacceptable to them and can they get their money back?
I will say - and I apologize a bit - that I'm laughing at them. Man owns Tiger as pet. Tiger eats man.
I remember in 2016, there was one group I came to despise, the Bernie Bros. Sanders himself, I have no problems with, but there was a huuuuuge subset of his deluded, demented supporters who just could not, would not and flat out refused to listen. Logically, politically, pretty much every which way you slice it, Clinton was a lot closer to Sanders’ positions than Lumpy ever was. Yet these loons convinced themselves that by voting for Lumpy, it would push the Democrats further to the left. Come 2020 when the whole world was sick of Lumpy, the Democrats would nominate ideally Sanders, but if not, someone to the left of the party and life would be glorious. Again. It’s perhaps the only time I’ve lost a friendship over politics, though to be fair, the guy was more a loose acquaintance than a close friend. But listening to his demented ramblings convinced me that he and his ilk would never turn. You don’t get to vote in the 2020 elections in 2016. Where reality eluded these challenged folks was they believed they were voting in an election where the world was paying attention to them when in reality no one except them cared. And Lumpy who benefited. But, yeah, point of principle voters who are so far stuck up their own arses to believe the whole world is watching their magnificent sacrifice, f.ucking spare me.
debated this with my wife yesterday. she is looking forward to seeing huge numbers of US voters tripping over their jaws in the next few months when they realize they are firmly in the "Turkeys Who Voted For Christmas" bloc. I can't see it as amusing (well I can, but y'know) coz no amount of schadenfreude will slow or diminish the truly serious harm done. it's hard to see any aspect of US society being immune from the wrecking ball - immigration, the economy, employment law, health, education, military action/inaction, civil peace, race relations. jesus the list is never ending. the lunatics are grabbing the keys to the place. coming soon to a government near you - the Totally Unstable Chaotic States of America.
