Mark my words, that is the plan they’re running.

Carville straight up when on MSNBC & CNN at the beginning of Trumps term & basically said Dems should do nothing & Trump will deliver conditions so terrible that the people will vote Dem to save themselves. They WANT us dead & dying & scared. It’s the only way we vote for them.

The language that they’re using has always been ghastly to me because they’re all about “the messaging is going to be so easy!” bc they’re just gonna wait for people to die and exploit that.

It is very transparent.

But Imani! Chuck Schumer successfully got the name stricken from the bill! 🥴 Yeaaaah, I hate them, indolent fucks.

Don’t even get me started I could rant for days—millennia even…

When you don't have a plan to make people's lives better or to fight against oppression. Then your best bet is letting things get so awful that voters have you as the best option to make things even slightly better. It's a terrible move, but that's what they've chosen to do.

I didn’t even think about the stupid optics that politicians are always worried about and ….. you are right. That’s 100% their motivation and plan. To let it get really bad and run on “at least we’re not those guys”. Oh god, that’s the only play they have anymore.

lol as an immigration advocate, I’ve heard MOCs say verbatim that acting now is a waste of time because people “need to feel it.” They’re actually hoping for another “kids in cages” moment.

They're like if someone let a kidnapping happen right in front of them because they work as a hostage negotiator and want the victim's family to hire them. Except they never get the victim back and just keep bragging about how they got the kidnappers to send some severed fingers.

and then in 2032, they will lose again, repeated cycle because they don’t have anything worth voting for
