    I truly do not think any of the ruling class in congress or the white house understand how utterly exhausted and incensed people are at this point.

    they’re truly playing with fire.

      people aren’t exhausted enough and the litmus test for true exhaustion can be answered by asking if they’ll stop voting with red or blue maga; we’ll continue to keep going round-and-around this circus until that answer changes … either that or enough people try to start pulling out the guillotines.

      If taking away their healthcare, pensions, income and safety nets didn’t do it, why would this be the red line?

        I think the combination of

        taking away their healthcare, pensions, income and safety nets

        is making the redline more material.

        Also, like, its hard to overstate how central the pedophilia/ pizzagate / “secret cabal” / qanon shit was to the movement that got Trump elected. Its practically their whole identity, and Trump, I think, I think he see’s himself as no longer needing or having a use for these people.

        And those people have had their foodstamps cut off, the mexican placed is closed because of deportation fears, the economy has gone to shit and labor is drying up because no one is doing projects in bad economic times, and now it sure fucking seems like its their fucking guy protecting the pedophiles.

        I had an aunty once say to me “there is rarely one reason for anything”. So yeah, its more than one issue, but clearly, if Trump looks like he’s protecting pedophiles (which they objectively are), welp. The right has been arming up for decades. Maybe this time they’ll find the right target.

      No, the whole system found a new way to block it, so now Trump could say ‘Release the files!’ without worrying about it actually happening.

      This way his thralls can point to him being ‘open and transparent’, and no evidence is ever released.

      The grift never ends.

        it’s mind boggling to me that red magats bought this and blue magats didn’t see it coming.

        i wonder what narrative the latter group is going to use now to attack trump now that they seemingly got what they’ve been pushing for.

    Wouldn’t tying up the files specifically related to democrats protect the democrats rather than the republicans from scrutiny? Not quite following their logic

      USA political system is a uniparty system, no matter how much they perform the political theatre reps will ultimately protect the dems and vice versa.

    Reason they won’t come out? See everybodys comments BEFORE the vote, on what would happen if they voted for it.
