Bluntly, what have you done for me lately?

What Democrats did is a meaningless platitude.

What are all of you doing right now?

What the fuck should we do with your "we did our part"?

Simply put, You the People cannot be trusted to keep fascism at bay.

If you are ever allowed to vote in a free election again, one third of you will vote for more of this bullshit, and one third of you will refuse to vote.

Collectively, you are untrustworthy.

You the People cannot be trusted to keep fascism at bay.

Of course they can't. The founding mythology? The military fluffing? The pervasive propaganda over American exceptionalism?

It's a fascist country. It just doesn't always have a totalitarian government.

Frankly I think the only thing that’d give me faith in my countrymen would be learning there’s actually truth to Musk/the repubs at large rigging the election, and that’s a long shot.

If the goal is to get people engaged, does telling them they’re worthless and untrustworthy actually help? I get the anger, but if you want people to step up, what’s the strategy beyond just calling them dummies?

I get the anger

No, I don't think you do.

Only you can answer that.
