I’m slowly, reluctantly, starting to seriously consider the often repeated possibility that they like things just as they are. They get to be the conservative party who masquerades as the left leaning party. R takes all the heat, D does whatever the billionaire class really wants. Last few years R just leaned a little too hard into their part in the play.

If I fully accept that, it’s going to bring suicidal thoughts, but I’m starting to at least consider it, where previously I thought it was ridiculous tinfoil hattery.

But, after seeing Harris reward the wave of enthusiasm she first received with pivoting on her heel and running as a more polite Republican, I’m having a hard time maintaining my tinfoil hat assessment.
