Wow! What do you think it means, mate?

Maybe the fires have pwnd the libs so hard that it “miraculously” cured the woke mind virus, caused said libs to see the error of their ways, and turned an entire state into right wing loons overnight.

Or perhaps it just means that the permitting system that is necessary to review new construction that is going to put additional strain on existing infrastructure maybe isn’t necessary when it comes to simply replacing something who’s impact is already known because it was reviewed, approved, and permitted long ago only to be destroyed by a natural disaster.

But who can tell?

I am so tired of these takes. It doesn't change anything. The ones who need to see it will discount it immediately and the others already know that Republicans are the most empty shells of excrement the world has ever seen.

I don’t really even disagree with you, but what would you have the people who do have a platform to say something do? Just say nothing?

I’ve given up hope that there’s going to be some sort of Paul on the road to Damascus moment for people who are still with the GOP at this point. They’re gone.

But maybe segments like this motivate a few people who couldn’t be bothered to vote before to get to the polls next time, or people who are already voters to see the urgency of volunteering or at least talking their friends into voting. The margins were really small in 2024. Trump didn’t really gain any voters, Democrats just didn’t show up like they did four years prior.

I really don’t know what the solution is, because a lot of times it feels utterly hopeless. But I’m pretty sure the answer isn’t to stop shining the few lights we do have on their horrific actions.

Yeah. It really does.

The only way out of this is something cataclysmic. Like on a World War 2 or Civil War level.

Honestly
