15. "Nonsense" is the most appropriate, succinct response to logic-free, fear based Doomerism

For example, the 2024 Colorado SOCTUS ruling was absolutely the correct decision, and it was unanimous and bipartisan . It wasn’t a ruling on disqualification under the 14th Amendment, it was a ruling on the jurisdiction of a state court to disqualify candidates for federal offices.

The question no one seems to want to ask is, “why didn’t the plaintiffs refile their case in a federal court”, as the ruling required?

The Dems will retake the House in 2026, despite gerrymandering and voter suppression. If the Trump-induced economic misery continues to worsen, the Senate just might be in play as well.

In 2028, The Dems will almost certainly nominate a straight white male not named Shapiro or Newsom, and he will win in a landslide, especially if JD Vance is the Republican nominee. No amount of Peter Thiel dollars or ratfuckery will prevent that outcome. Musk couldn’t even manipulate a win in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race this year.

Universal suffering across races, regions and socioeconomic levels has a way of unifying folks.
