    Trump and Steven Miller escalated the situation because they needed to feel good about themselves after Elon fucked them both over. This is probably what they planned for the elections in 2026/28.

      I’m not going to blame the voters for the Democrats’ decision to throw the election, personally. They knew Harris was unpopular with groups they needed to win swing states. They knew Biden was unpopular too. It was their decision to crown two weak candidates without a primary and state publicly and unequivocally that they wouldn’t change anything.

      You can’t look at your own record as president, knowing full well your actions and willful inaction have made people significantly poorer, and reasonably conclude that the status quo is an acceptable campaign strategy.

          I honestly don’t understand their intransigence in the face of a looming fascist threat unless they just didn’t care.

          And judging by how Harris’ campaign raised billions and still ended up with $20,000,000 in debt, it’s clear they were spending like drunken sailors and having a wonderful time not running a serious campaign.
