Seems like a good place to leave my final thought on this matter. Electing anyone other than trump or kamala would have sent an undeniable message of “NO!” To the current establishment. The Democrats do whatever they please just look at how they treated Bernie in 2015, Trump was afraid of Bernie! Meanwhile the Republicans make up stories about “what they want to do is the most patriotic!” Then give massive tax cuts to people that already have more than enough money and work to actually create jobs, but then they have less money so they leave their business minimally staffed with part time crew, and a single over worked manager that’s on salary and works 60+hrs a week.
At this late in their game of granting themselves political freedoms like assigning any idiot as any agency head they want(for a start! How big is this constitutional crisis gonna get? Cuz that’s how far the Democrats have been over reaching already since there’s no check or balance against it!), it’s about sending a message that we are still the owners of this country, they are just the current management, and are very replaceable just as they have made sure all of us feel in our lives. Abandoning the parties that just kept doing the same thing over and over making everything worse every time, and actually electing someone that wasn’t who the Democrats or Republicans wanted, would have actually changed things, no matter if congress didn’t work with them, we can’t actually change things to be more intelligently designed in this country when special interests like billionaires have so damn much money, and money is legally protected as free speech, rejecting their candidate rejects theur money as free speecg. Keep electing Democrats and Republicans and things WILL get worse, currently it’s a tug of war where one parties infected bandage of a solution gets applied and it seems like things are better for their constituents, only for the positive affects to wear off shortly after the other party takes office, no one sees the issue is bad policy that only makes things worse in the long run, they only see things got better for a stretch then the midterms happened. They have cities fighting rural populations for control of systems the citizens have no idea how they work, because all they do is further tighten the leash around our neck while pretending to be on our side. We failed to put our foot down as a country after Democrats had control of the government but refused to install checks and balances against executive orders, refused to touch Roe V Wade, and simply expected the power would revert to them again. We failed when the Democrats and Republicans worked together to manufacturer outrage from us to get elected, and then never even brought things to a vote so we could see publicly who stands against change. The citizens failed and should feel thoroughly ashamed for their actions. I have nothing more to say on the last election.
…do fucking nothing and blame everything on Dems. Then get the trifecta and do whatever the fuck they want.
This has been building up momentum for years. Now that they have the trifecta there is little that the Dems can do within the bounds of the system except drag their feet and file lawsuits.
Viewed from this perspective, the dems have been fighting to hold the line back from fascists for decades and just barely doing so by holding narrow majorities and at least one corner of power.
I’m not convinced that Ron Paul’s reddit phenomenon in 2008 wasn’t a practice run for Trump. The whole thing just seems so weird in retrospect.

Holy wall of text Batman! Is there a tldr of this?
Dude just missed the entire Republican strategy…
