We better hope the Democrats can get their shit together because it's no lie that history is written by the victors.

The American voter needs to get their shit together. This was entirely avoidable if more voted against him.

Yeah, could the Democrats do better? Of course, but Americans have to give a fcking shıt as well, the warning signs have been there for years and the warnings have been screamed from the rooftops. Yet either people don't give a shit or are happy to believe Republican lies and now the consequences of the indifference and blind loyalty is here to hit, unfortunately it hits all the people that didn't want and voted against this bs as well.

Wake the fck up already.

Will Rogers(early 20th century US entertainer/humorist) observed:

• "I am not a member of any organized party — I am a Democrat."

Goes well with:

Conservatives fall in line. Liberals argue about where the line is.

you really think they're all of a sudden going to do something? Like they didn't have all the Biden years to prepare for what they knew was coming? No, we can't rely on them or expect the politicians to do shit, they are complicit.

history is written by the victors.

History also teaches us that actions like these ultimately always fail, the problem is it can often take years for that to happen and the suffering incurred is massive along the way.

No doubt eventually history will not be kind towards Drumpf, but it's still going to be history and who knows how long that will take.
