Just watch. Just watch how things progress over the next four years and watch the 2024 GOP presidential nomination contest. Fox and talk radio and associated stuff feeds them two things. Fear and anger, normally both at the same time. So you now have tens of millions of fearful, angry, breathtakingly ignorant* people who want a strong daddy to make their enemies go away.


*Notice I didn't say stupid. A lot of them obviously are but a lot aren't. But they are ignorant. They know nothing about how their political system works or how the country is run or other countries are run of socialism or any of the other things they blather on about. They basically just have the last few days in their heads of whatever conservative media is amping up the outrage about. The level of political sophistication with these people is nonexistent. No thought, just emotions. Fear and anger press their buttons and they're the only two buttons you need with them.





Plus ca change and all that.

Yeah not "stupid" just "ignorant"....you know like the kind of people who would impeach an outgoing President AFTER their term had ended. And who would weaponize their emotions in order to do so.



AOC is going around telling people "Like OMG I was TOTES almost killed".....and this is your stance Kirk? The Republicans use emotion and fear? Trump has been called "literally Hitler" for 4 fucking years so come off it...or double & triple down on it. You know, whatever you feel is right.
