Saw someone reply to this tweet that its just for the special election and then the fireworks will start. I can’t believe people are still falling for it.
I’m not giving dem leaders a pass but when Dems do this they’re giving dem voters what they want, unfortunately
Democratic voters mostly don’t want retribution. Those of us who do are outliers and a minority.
“We won the election, I want to move on, I don’t like bad feelings” is how most democratic voters look at it to be blunt
For those saying this time is different: Do you actually see anybody giving Dems a hard time over this? Yeah, nope.
It isn’t a coincidence that every time they poll it, it’s democratic voters who want “compromise.”
My advice to you is to understand that not everyone thinks like you. I would love for Dems to go all in on gop, but I don’t fool myself in believing most democratic voters see things that way. Democratic voters tend to have what I would say is a Pollyanna view on things.
It’s another instance of Twitter not being real life.
“But *I* feel this way so most people must feel it"

I have no idea where this mindset comes from. I'm more shocked when the mass agrees with me cause usually they don't.

one black president.
one.
and they lost their damned minds.
one!
one in a 219-year chain of events.
just one!
and they totally lost their shit.

*one*
and it was the least scary one. like, on purpose, we picked the black guy who loans you a lawnmower and not the guy who's going to remind you that racism is pretty bad and systemic, and yet, the one -- with the fancy degrees and the slick way of talking.

and they still lost it!
the dude you lost your *minds* over.
this dude.
him.
the dude with the *helmet*. Image

If Dems win, the Deep State Ballot Printing Team gets the next two weeks off, per direct orders from Soros and Obama
Are we gonna use all these Loeffler/Perdue ballots we've got in the back of these mysterious black vans as confetti for Bidens inauguration or what?
I need everyone who flew in from out of state as a phony Warnock/Ossoff voter to PLEASE submit your travel receipts for reimbursement no later than Friday. Payroll is adamant about this. Some of you know what a pain in the ass the Arizona stuff was last November.

I've watched 4 seasons of the crown and I was ready and she just does this...
I just saw a headline about the Earl of Snowdon and my first thought was to curse @pattonoswalt because now I know who that is
Me: "oh the photographer who married princess Margaret and... fuckkkkk"

republicans/conservatives just assume black people = danger, even in the nicest rich-ass parts of dc. racist trash.
its not like there arent some rough parts of dc, but its like these dinguses are walking through georgetown and cowering because the gangs from the warriors are after them.
and these dumb-dumbs would be equally shocked to find out some of the people in the richie rich parts of dc/md/va are...

black.

actually most americans live in a shared reality. its just that a percentage of it is deluded and the media caters to their whims instead of just utterly rejecting their fantasies.
im pretty well convinced the percentage of unhinged americans is the same as its always been. its just that cable news and social media give them a bigger voice.
you: its never been this crazy!
