well, despite my low opinion of conservatives, there hasn't exactly been an epidemic of pro-Trump people smashing into politicians houses. This reads more like an origin story. It could radicalize anybody, but somebody who spent their entire life reaching across the aisle, that's joker moment stuff.

same (and no shade, I definitely didn't think anybody did) but his willingness to install cronies in particular is something unique to him that I've noticed twice: Here, and when he felt more like replacing the private operators of a Disney-run district rather than returning it to the state.
That's just so specific and so unusual and I ain't seen anybody EVER do that before.

They're definitely way more terrifying up close and personal, but there's a little solace in how bad of a job they've been doing at scaring people recently, and how they've more been... mocked. Which is the one thing they can't tolerate.
Not that they shouldn't be seen as a threat (especially up close) of course, but it's still nice to see Harris-Walz get taken so much more seriously than a second Biden term.

How about attending your polling place to vote for everything besides president? If you have a hard line for behavior you will not vote for, I would be surprised if every politician on that ballot was on the other side of that line. Or every issue.
And potentially, you can find a comrade who is incapable of voting but wishes to vote, and cast a vote for president on their behalf instead.
