    It’s weird to see billions of dollars and thousands of media-hours invested into a massive industrial scale propaganda engine. And then, after all of that time and money and manpower, we get a “I can’t believe you fell for it”.

    This is regardless of who wins. I remember conservatives smugly insisting their debt-sunk kids and grandkids were idiots for supporting Biden. I remember smug liberals pointing to the shoddy fly-by-night wall building operation on the border and insisting “You fucking idiot border conservatives got what you paid for.” I remember conservatives, in turn, laughing at all the liberals who thought Obama would bring about universal health care and climate change reforms and high speed rail.

    Every fucking cycle we get this smug “Haha, you idiots fell for it.”

      Remember when Biden was “only one term” and “the most progressive president in history?” His entire career was on the record for us to see what a servile and slimeball of an insider he was. At least with Trump you know you’re getting a bad deal, he wears his sleaze on his sleeve.

        BMTea… clever name, letting everyone know you are the online equivalent of an aid to move the bowels.
