How can you only assume you’ll win? It’s not like democrats are willing to play dirty against republicans so there’s no guarantee either. You demand my unquestioned loyalty yet you’re so bad at politicking. Of course, I’m not here to pretend democratic politicians are weak or dumb. They’re just evilly indifferent.

The god damn soviets tried to launch a coup after being taken over by hostile pro-western forces. Even if the democrats failed like them, I would have some respect because they’re putting money where their mouth is at. But it’s very clear that no one in that party actually believes in the threats they spew out because in their dystopian fantasy, Biden is nowhere to be found. The party is nowhere to be found. You’re just in a camp already. It is punishment from the dems, and their voters are willing to eat that shit up and blame you for it.

These guys want to complain about Islamist terrorists being incentivized by martyrdom, but nothing grants you higher honor and prestige in liberalism than failing violently in the eyes of oppression, because striking back is authoritarian.
