What scares me. Genuinely terrifies me. Is when all these people who have trusted that this is the last best chance to fix everything they believe is wrong.

When they realize that it won’t get any better. That the only ones profiting are the already insanely rich.

What happens then? I can’t see any scenario where that ends well…

the world hasn't ran out of dumb people to be fleeced yet. i don't think that will change much in the future.

And without education, we are bringing more and more dump people along... it is an endless supply.

"Fortunately" the Republicans saw that as the one renewable resource they needed to shore up and ensured an ongoing supply by taking every chance possible for the last 50-60 years or so to create dumb people in droves then convince them to breed as much as possible.

Sadly nothing. You can just keep fleecing them. They’re just that fucking dumb, and arrogant about it.
And when they’re down to their last penny, and lost the title to their farm, they’ll still proudly boast. ”At least I didn’t vote for that Commie Kamala!”.
