I agree. Sentiment I'm seeing in my circles is rather than blaming Bernie bros, college kids or (insert minority here), they are instead focusing on how so many people voted for Trump and that they live in a fascist nation. Which is honestly a great step for a lot of them, but it needs to be tempered with something else or, like you say, they're gonna become doomers (or forget about it and go to brunch this weekend).

Less people voted for Trump than last time.

Anybody attributing this to anything other than democrats failing to do anything that would make people wnat to vote for them is intentionally missing the point.

and that they live in a fascist nation

I've seen this exchange like 10 times today:

Fascist: Democrats shouldn't be calling people fascist/racist/sexist/etc. just because they disagree.

Lib: But Trump [literally whatever Trump said this week and every week before this week]

Fascist: See? That's what I'm talking about.

I'd be really embarrassed to be this late to understanding the inherit fascism in the US unless I was a middle schooler or something.
