“We cannot go down this road”

This is the problem with liberals right now their eyes have been closed for so long.

I don’t like the road we’re on either but this is the road we’ve been on for years and at this stage there really is no going back.

Libs are still talking about the fucking midterms and the idea that the midterms is even going to be a thing in any kind of recognizable way has been out of the question for awhile now.

In many ways we’re living in the future that libs might have hinted at if we didn’t vote for Kamala (even though this was going to happen anyway Kamala or not as we know) Predictably though libs either never actually bought into what they warned about(if we lose this time there won’t BE another election) or they’re too afraid to admit that’s actually what happened because then they would have to admit to themselves they’re in the political wilderness

Liberals chose this road for me! They nominated their worst candidates so there was a choice between fascism and fascism on the ballot.

and the idea that the midterms is even going to be a thing in any kind of recognizable way has been out of the question for awhile now.

Could you elaborate? I'm sure there will be ratfucking, but this claim seems far beyond that and I haven't followed this very closely

Youre on the road, bub, like it or lump it you're on it

Shitlibs: Imagine if we blew up the Three Gorges Dam and killed a bunch of innocent Chinese civilians to appease our bloodthirst against a country that refuses to bow down to our superiority! insert 10 million different anti-Asian and Sinophobic racist slurs so-true

Also Shitlibs: NOOOO!!! You can't celebrate that a vile, transphobic, racist, misogynistic far-right propagandist got merc'd! We should only be celebrating if it's a bunch of Chinese or Black people or Arabs or brown immigrants who are being slaughtered en masse! Charlie Kirk was just a smol bean American whose only crime was loving Free Speech too much! wojak-nooo

It's wild because Kirk was so supportive of blatant Islamophobic discrimination by the state and the fucking "progressives" are acting like he was just disagreeing about tax brackets.
