That's honestly been the most frustrating part of this whole affair. It feels like the left would rather jack themselves off over their moral and intellectual superiority than get down in the dirt digging these lunatics out. This isn't something to laugh about and it's not going to go away. There is a very real risk that we will lose our basic freedoms and possibly lives to a bunch of fascists within the next few years, and all these armchair socialists can do is point and laugh.
Do you have some insight into what the left could do though? I'm frustrated too, but it's not as though Democrats are voting these people into office. What would "digging these lunatics out" look like and how would it change things?
I heard Glen Beck blabbing about how current events are aligned with end time prophecy today. It's fucking crazy how these morons think, and even crazier that they have a nationwide megaphone.
