    In one respect I can see why they’d think this from a point of ignorance, but also, that disgusts me so much. Accelerationists are always so willing to volunteer others for the chlorine shock treatment without their consent. Just look at the deaths wrought by Musk’s DOGE alone that dwarfs Gaza and Ukraine, combined. Elections are so consequential.

      Yup. The “you can’t make an omelette without killing a whole bunch of people” mindset.

      The annoying part is that it’s not entirely wrong, IMO. At this point I think the best hope America has is for those Trump voters to feel the pain of the situation they have brought upon themselves, and for the Democrats to be pushed far enough to finally shake off the DNC establishment. America needs another Roosevelt at this point and there’s no way someone like that would have got on the ballot or been elected under the past few decades’ conditions.

      Sure would have been nice if everyone had just been smart about all this and we hadn’t got here to begin with, but we go to the ballot box with the electorate we have rather than the one we hope for.
