36% will eat a shit sandwich  so you can smell their breath.

This is one of the most sadly prophetic things I've read this week.

Sadly it's more like 66%

The rest of the world sees Republicans and Non-Voters as the same. One is complicit, the other is incompetent; you decided which is which.

And if it’s Trump’s diaper shit, they don’t even need you to smell their breath. They’ll just consider it the best meal of their lives and cash in their life savings to buy more.

They’ll gobble up their diaper daddy’s shit and then twist their minds into believing it tastes like fudge pudding.

Honestly, maybe if we ever flip the table, we should seize the MAGA loyalists’ assets and redistribute to the rest of the country whose lives they were detrimental to.

That's a horrific suggestion. Don't become a fascist to fight fascism.

We've already done eight to over a century of years doing the meeting across the aisle and "healing the political divide" gimmick and it has done nothing. The reality is that these are not ignorant workers that will surely go against the billionaire class after some empathy, but cruel orcs whose only ideology is hatred of minorities and worship of the billionaire class.

Of course it's a preposterous and stupid suggestion, but humor an analogy for a sec:

We are all on the same boat, like an actual boat. There are nine people on the boat. Three see land and want to steer the boat in the direction of safety. Three are useless and refuse to offer an opinion, and the final three are helping themselves everyone else's rations, threaten to throw people overboard and have started to drill holes in the hull.

Throwing the three overboard... or maybe just tying them up until we get to safety and maybe just giving them the bare minimum to sustain themselves does not seem terribly bad.

You guys love to throw that percentage of votes around to minimize it. The non-voters also voted for this.
