Honestly, we sit here calling the left delusional all day, but a frank assessment of what has happened here over the past two months suggests they are not the only ones prone to mass delusion.
And there is no accountability. Sure, maybe we primary Sasse in 2022, or some Fox producer has a tough time finding their next gig, but I wouldn’t be surprised if we get to the middle of 2021 and it’s the same old republicans sitting on slightly larger stacks of cash laughing about the wild ride they took patriots on during the Trump years.
Now it’s late and I’m idly musing but... it makes one yearn for a party that doesn’t even pretend to have a political platform beyond kicking out the current ruling class. If populists in Massachusetts wanna try some socialism and Wyoming wants to go all in on libertarianism, if the elected officials from those states got together and said, “ok, you do you over there, let’s provide for the national defense and safe secure commerce and then stop fucking with citizens” I’d be perfectly fine with that.
Remove the avarice from the corporate/political class and have people designing systems of mutual aid for their neighbors that work locally and I suspect a lot more will get done and people in deep red Alabama and “commiefornia” will both be happier.
