What unhinged shit will libs do this time as it becomes clearer that Trump will win the next election? (hexbear.net)

As we know, libs refuse to believe their system does not work. However, they also believe that it shouldn't be possible to elect someone like Trump in this system. They don't know how to reconcile this contradiction.

Last two elections there was the constant blaming of "Bernie bros" until Biden finally won. Bernie is fully behind Biden now so I don't think they'll try this angle. There was the whole Mueller thing (I still don't know what even came out of that??) and the media constantly reporting that THIS TIME Trump will finally go down, though this reporting is still going on. They had the Women's March which was the closest thing to praxis but it was clearly a waste of time with no plan to actually get anything done. There was the sudden need to blame Russia for election interference and general racism against Russians which is still ongoing. Does anyone remember Cambridge Analytica?

At the moment I'm seeing libs asking everyone to excuse supporting genocide because we need to keep the cheeto out of the White House. But I feel like their brains are going to break when the cheeto does get back in the White House.

So many takes in this thread rely on the dubious assumption Americans care about genocide and that it would effect their behavior one way or another in terms of voting

Americans are still getting over covid and inflation, they want four more years of brunch not Trump's shenanigans or the Nuremberg Trials

This country ain't shit folks, prepare to be universally disappointed

Everyone forgets that while, yes, young people, people who care about genocide, etc are not important voting blocs

they give a shitload of time to the democratic party during campaign season, and are responsible for turnout among the people who do numerically influence the election

End of the day the supermajority of those young people are still American liberals, by august when the campaign begins to heat up, none of them will be thinking about Palestine and they'll hold their nose just like they did in 2020, Biden's pull with white suburbanites will increase and many of young people who don't even want to hear Biden's voice right now will be knocking on doors by Halloween, liberal media's upcoming scaremongering campaign will guarantee it

Sure it's not going to shut that down completely, but I think we're gonna see a way lower participation from those folks compared to last time. And everything is marginal, everything is so close that the presidential election is a tennis match where every hit back and forth is some kind of nudge on this exact scale
