    Peak liberalism.

    Imagine thinking that once the loudest symptom of fascism is no longer visible, the decades long multibillion dollar Republican project to undemocratically seize power just goes away. That all the structural issues with America go away.

    Big “We want to go back to brunch” energy.

      What? You’re telling me that what happened in 1933 with the business plot to overthrow the government and no one of importantance being held accountable allowed fascism to continue to grow. That is… That actually tracks with America. We have a terrible short term memory.

      Tbh, my wife and I used to have a monthly brunch with a gay couple-friends once a month and we haven’t done that since like 2019.

      I do want to go back to brunch. But that’s besides the point.
