Oooh, and the divided, atomized left that couldn’t agree with itself to save its life (and would occassionally actually physically shoot at each other).
This is a great analogy, actually.
The Right always votes for the GOP candidate, and the GOP candidate is the guy who wins the primaries. Most folks don’t vote in the primaries, so the most extreme guy almost always wins.
Meanwhile, there are people on the Left who hate AOC because she hasn’t pistol whipped Nancy Pelosi.
It’s genuinely depressing, years of “Huh, this feels like Weimar Germany” thought turn into “Liberals won’t get my vote this election”.
Fuck me, people who don’t know history are damned to repeat it, and people who do know history are damned to watch everyone else repeat it.
The irony in you saying this is fucking painful.
History repeats itself.
