I will never get over how insane this was. Like why the fuck did anyone think it was a good idea to kneel for this. Literally taking the position of the person who killed him for the same duration. And who the fuck gave them the kente cloth?! Why?!

This also reminded me of how the dems all sang a song on some terribly inappropriate day (roe V wade? School shooting? I can't remember), and when asked just went "well it was scheduled in advance".

You'd think they would understand something about optics considering their entire existence is to be on camera and make people think they can govern, but no, they are just completely useless in every way.

It seems to work enough that their partisans don't really question their leadership. Like it looks farcical to us, but idk how libs perceive it.

The goal is not to inspire or even get voots the goal is to induce despair

I think they really are this out of touch. Their only interaction with protesters was the 'riots' on TV and the guy kneeling on the football field.

Honestly easier for my mind to accomodate. I keep a brick on my desk for when I need to remind myself that Libs actually believe the stupid shit the Dem leadership says. A few good smacks re-adjusts my worldview the necessary degree.
