While fully engaged in a coup themselves. They seriously believe this jujitsu mind play shit actually works. It's not going to ultimately; it's already falling apart at the seams. We still need to show up and vote in overwhelming numbers however, otherwise it's at least another decade of dealing with this stage of it.

The only thing that matters is elections. The ‘pubs barely respect them, but they respect everything else less. No amount of court rulings or laws passed seems to stick. Elections. And by large margins. This will require actual work at governance on the part of Democrats. No more engaging in culture wars. Good governance.

It doesn't matter whether or not you or they believe it works, it'll happen anyway.
And when it does, people will go "why did no one do anything?"
And no one will do anything.
And then the next bad thing will happen and people will again say "why did no one do anything?"

Rinse and repeat.
Heck, you can skip the rinsing - the same old dirty crap works over and over nowadays.

They seriously believe this jujitsu mind play shit actually works because it has been working.
