I like how all the right's enemies are two things at once.

Hilary was too old to send an email, while being clever enough to murder hundreds without getting caught.

Obama was lazy, while working tirelessly to destroy the country.

AOC is a bar tender who grew up in fabulous wealth.

Thus, by a continuous shifting of rhetorical focus, the enemies are at the same time too strong and too weak

Strong because fascism needs to be a victim, weak because of course "they" are inferior.

And it's a Holy War for them; they have plenty of preachers telling them so.

It’s almost like they’re following a sports team and the only thing that matters is shitting on your ops.

Fuck you Liverpool FC, Manchester until I die. /s

People on the Left don't like the Dems and wish they had a third party.

The GOP has been subsidizing third parties for years.

It's not a 'team sport' it's war.

Trans people are too strong for sports but too weak for the military
