the strategy of stacking as many sundowning moderates into positions of power to throw concessions to the people who would literally execute them for being child-rapers has led to abortion access vanishing from half the country and forcible detransitioning of trans minors in two states so far, and could easily lead to a near future of tea party 2.0 for two years and then donald trump versus either the corpse of joe biden or black hillary clinton in 2024 we are now two years into the cool zone and depending on when you start counting at least two decades into the accelerating collapse of the american political system. i feel like at this point if you're a person who isn't being radicalized, you are plugging your ears and cheering for the collapse to be worse
