Damn, they're not even waiting for their guy to be sworn in again before they start the infighting. This truly is a speed run to social cannibalism.

Our best hope for the next four years is that they spend so much time fighting amongst themselves, they'll be too busy to completely fuck everything else up. I'm sure they'll try, but god, I hope there's still a Department of Education in 2029. Lack of critical thinking skills is what got us these morons in the first place, we have enough stupid people in this country already.

I share your sentiment but I think they will attempt to out cunt each other on being vile, petty children. The will try to be as punitive as possible with policy and neglectful in their duties to facilitate the mechanisms of functional government. And, yes maybe not completely because they are probably not even competent enough to do that.

I'm sorry my American friends but you're in for some catastrophic shitfuckery.

More likely while the public squabble takes our attention those behind the scenes will calmly remake everything to their design. While we notice nothing but the squabble...

Feel free to do a bit of rabble rousing yourselves as well!

Im not sure how effective that will be. Part of the reason they are turning on each other is that everyone else has been so quiet since the election. If there were mass protests right now they would all be united behind having BLM declared a terrorist movement or something, not focused on each other.

Oh no need to have organized protests. I believe we all have agreed that we're well past time where that will have any significant impact. Besides, it's the age of information! Fight back in ways our Republican friends won't understand.

The only use my twitter account gets is dropping "president musk" pics under random conservative posts.

They're just stealing everything from the left now!

These people always fall in line. They will again. They're proud of being useful idiots. They'll convince themselves that this immigration is necessary for the economy, but Trump will stop the bad immigration or whatever. And Trump's people will brutalize people coming from Mexico which will also sate some of their bloodlust. They'll fall in line just as soon as someone tells them what to think.

Muskrat Suzie, Muskrat Sam.
Do the jitterbug at a muskrat land.
And they shimmy 
Sam is so skinny.

And they whirl and they twirl and they tango.
Singin' and jinglin' a jangle.
Float like the heavens above.
Looks like muskrat love.
