I really hope this won’t become some sort of tradition now

    They’re basically treating his second win as a mandate. That’s why the rollback of all the lgbtq protections and whatnot. They’ve got four years now to fuck up whatever they want and then they’ll act like they’ve had an embarrassing one night stand if they have to walk it back. They’re begging for more luigi-dance

        Yeah, but you gotta remember these people are out there reading the economist and NY times and all that shit. So while probably on some level they do want to, they also probably don’t have a clue. Like eventually Hillary Clinton who goes around giving speeches about how we need seize the means of production back from China and fully understands imperialism still couldn’t pull her head out of her ass long enough to beat Trump. At a certain point being up at that level disconnects you from the people; It has to, or else you’ll realize you’re the villain.
