Been playing a mental game with myself. Thinking about Trump winning the election, and things continuing on their current trajectory... and I'm wondering if it is the only way to beat Trumpism?

Another four years of batshittery will be the downfall of conservativism. A demonstration of the faults inherent in the "economy at all costs" version of conservativism that has destroyed our republic. An undeniable defeat of the libertarian/republican "every man for himself" type of fuckwittery.

Which would be a good thing, in the end. The cost is high, of course. But I just don't see a one-term Biden presidency doing anything to quell the insanity. And unless the Dems sweep the House AND the Senate, Biden will have little power to make any significant changes to stop the bleeding.

So ... four more years of ever increasing lunacy from militias and Qanon and Proud Boys and the KKK, destroying our public spaces, killing at will, and making the streets unsafe for Americans?

Or four more years of unbridled batshittery like the Chinese Cultural Revolution, where only the least competent are left standing?

We are so fucked.
