Those people need legitimate cult deprogramming. The reason they haven’t learned anything in 8 years is because their cult leaders have lied to them on every issue and convinced them that everything wrong is because of the liberals.
This is the danger of the echo chambers the internet has created.
The point I was trying to make with that is they will continue to actively screw over themselves and everyone else but the oligarchy, again and again and again. I don’t take glee in this futility because the consequences are dire, even for the hubristic. If they got just a pie in the face or something merely unflattering, sure, laugh it up; but if somebody is dying because they can’t get the health care they need, or they lose their home because the economy tanked, or their friend gets deported, etc., because of what they enthusiastically voted for, then that is tragic, and this tragedy is manifold by the repetition of their inability to recognize what they have done.
It won’t save them but it won’t teach them anything
If the last 8 years haven’t taught them anything, they cannot be taught.

There is no institution remaining with enough power and reach to complete this task
Nope, we just have to wait until they get to the, “he’s hurting the wrong people,” phase.
The one silver lining to the Rs controlling everything is that they can’t blame democrats for their screwups.
Sure they can. And their base will gobble that shit up like ice cream.
Hasn’t stopped them before!
