Literally your entire dooming point has been empirically denied in a much smaller, easier group of elections to try and subvert than an actual nationwide midterm. Shut UP.

3.) It failed miserably.
4.) They had a pair of statewides in a state with very friendly partisan structures in election boards and in the state government in Georgia. They got absolutely massacred in those races and were unable to steal anything.

You need to have more people, more resources, etc. because the election system is so decentralized.
2.) We just had an excellent example of them ATTEMPTING TO SUBVERT ELECTIONS. THEY SENT ELECTION MONITORS TO HEAVILY LATINO DISTRICTS. IT LITERALLY JUST HAPPENED.

They're just fucking *flooring* the bus towards a cliff out of sheer oppositional defiance. How *dare* those lower courts say the government has to exist!

all of it to avoid the recognition that this is a singularly evil and dangerous man, who climbed the greasy pole to power, even if he was uniquely right for the time period we live in. he is not going to stay there forever, he is not a god, but he got there and our lives are profoundly worse for it.

the refusal to entertain at least a weak version of "Trump is how we got Trump" has been a recipe for a decade's worth of bad punditry and bad incentives for public intellectuals. "We got Trump because of some obscure event in the 1600s!" "We got Trump because of [niche voting demographic!"

Which brings me to something I increasingly like to harp on: 90% of what these chucklefucks deride as ‘woke’ are norms and limits that evolved over a long period of time to make organizations functional in the context of a complex society. (3/n)

Coda: The right is also realizing that liberals were treating them with some modicum of respect because of a belief in the norms of the country. Norms are a detente, an agreement to use them. It turns out we can take off the gloves too, and you can see them realizing it in real time.
