>>155794If dup hadn't had a second term, then they'd be constantly fantasizing about how things would have been just peachy keen if only he'd been able to get back in office and magically fix all our problems. The fact that dup is better than other Republicans but still completely inadequate is something the smarter ones are going to have to accept.
It's also blackpilling to ordinary leftists. They're a lot more passive and inactive this time around. They think the dup who got into office is the imaginary one who only exists in their head, so in that sense it opens up the Overton window to more right-wing ideas.
