The only thing that gives me a glimmer of hope at this point other than the thought of a massive shellacking in the midterms (which won’t ultimately matter anyway as the damage will largely be done, but at least a third impeachment would be able to happen for the history books) is the idea that they will fuck things up so badly and for so many people that it will become unambiguously clear by 2028 that this cannot happen ever again. I wish it didn’t have to be that way but I’m afraid it’s the only way real change can take place any time soon. And 4 years feels like a long goddamn time, too.
Here’s hoping things aren’t so broken by then that we don’t even have a choice in the matter anymore.
It is most unfortunate that humans en masse require the need to feel the negative consequences of their actions before gaining the wisdom to avoid them.

The cycle then repeats.
