I’m old enough to be very, very tired of waiting for conservatives to realize they were dumb after the fact.
It’s getting old.
And here’s the thing I can say with certainty because this is a reoccurring thing. They aren’t going to learn from this experience. Assuming we can still vote in 4 years, we’ll slingshot back to Democrat leadership, but after that conservatives will be right back where they are now. Ready and willing to vote for the next grifting authoritarian.
