“They voted for Trump to punish the Democrats.”

Oh, that didn’t work. Losing elections isn’t the same as being punished. Not saying it was a bad move, I’m saying it was the wrong one. It was also a bad move though.

“All Harris had to do was stop the war.”

Oh is that it? Just as a VP / figurehead, swoop on over and say, “Stop it.” Man, why hasn’t anyone ever tried that before?

Dearborn, I hope your lives work out ok. You’ve really fucked up.

I hope it doesnt work out for them. I kind of hope a bunch of them die in a fire because that's about what it's going to take for people to start understanding how serious all of this is.

My dream schadenfreude scenario is that a hurricane wipes out the Villages in Florida, and it’s bad because Trump privatized NOAA, so no one knew to evacuate, then when they’re picking up the pieces they get hit with a wet bulb event.

By "wet bulb event" do you mean when the wet bulb temperature exceeds around 94 F and you will literally eventually die without air conditioning? Because, yeah, that's incredibly scary.
