It continues to get me that Americans are perfectly fine with doing over $300B in infrastructure demolition to the Islamic Republic of Iran, but go into hysterics when they get handed the bill for damage done.
There are a lot of Americans that were fine with attacking Iran. However, we could not get them to vote because of their purity test for “liberal” canididates. Edit------ Not fine. My mistake.
My favorite part is their childlike refusal to accept that their purity test resulted in a felon rapist pedophile controlling their lives and a free-for-all wholesale slaughter of the people they were conducting a purity test for.
The 2020 COVID crisis gave us some of the most lax voting laws in the country’s history, for a brief and magical window of time. Consequently, voting - particularly mail-in voting - surged nationwide and the nation experienced the biggest turnout in proportion to population to date. Democrats won in a landslide.
Over the next two years, nearly every single state in the country clawed back voting rights and slammed down novel new restrictions. This was under a Democratic Majority and Presidency, with windfalls of state legislatures and gubernatorial wins across the country. Democrats got absolutely shellacked as a result.
2022 midterm turnout plunged under the 2018 level. 2024 Presidential turnout saw liberals - particularly those “purity test” liberals - turned away from the voting booth in droves, by a combination of malicious conservative vote caging / registration purging and liberal administrative apathy. Much like with the reactionary campaign against GOTV groups like ACORN in 2008 and the lawfare conducted by anti-enfranchisement litigators in 2013 and onward, taking anti-VRA cases to the SCOTUS time and time again, the damage was done to turnout before the election began.
Probably didn’t help that ruling liberals annulled the possibility of a primary before dumping Harris into the top of the ticket over the objection of the sitting President, too. You’d think they would have known better. But I guess it’s just easier to fuck up and blame Palestinian and Transgender voters for your catastrophic defeat, when your Senate and Gubernatorial candidates are outrunning your Presidential nominee by a winning margin of votes.
Direct disenfranchisement is a drop in the bucket compared to the willful lack of participation more than a third of the country participates in. If even half the people who decided to stay home every election day decided to try and participate, the entire contest would be a wash. It wouldn’t even be close.
But they don’t, because “the system is rigged and there’s no point in trying to fix it”.

DIP. SHITS.
Yeah this country is full of dipshits.
Yep, and we’ll do it again. The only way to appease us is to push actually progressive, non-genocidal candidates. Good luck.
Killing hundreds of thousands of people to hold millions hostage. Good job.
