And her base absolutely understood what she was talking about! I saw that email clipped on Twitter because people were talking about how effective it was. And immediately my friend and I were talking about how WE handled it. We both talked about literally crying on our way to work the next day. I talked about how a coworker said "This is like finding out your neighbours are psychopaths." I don't remember what I ate the night he won because I went to bed early rather than watch it happen. The reactions were BIG.
The right likes to mock how upset the left was that day -- but we were right to be upset. The things we were scared about happened and then some. I remember a day on this board where I argued about whether or not they were going after abortion rights, shared links of peer-reviewed studies about the attack on abortion rights, and was told I was being ridiculous.
Oddly enough, no apology came when the Dobbs verdict came in.
Ugh. I can rant about this. But the left was right to be afraid of losing freedoms and having the court because a partisan nightmare. They were right to think he couldn't handle the big stuff, like the pandemic. So yeah. Eating a family-sized bag of Doritos is a pretty stoic reaction if you ask me.
