re: #19 Targetpractice

It’s the “it can only be failed…” fallacy, the idea that conservative ideals work if executed faithfully and in full, and the failure of them in practice is a matter of implementation.

It’s just fucking exhausting. It’s part of the same acceptance that the GOP is by necessity the default for governance, and deserves power just by existence. Dems only ever get given a chance when the GOP fucks up significantly, and even then only ever given enough slack to fix things to some extent before the country says ‘Ok, you’ve had enough time, it’s the ‘real’ rulers turn again’.
