They need to start being honest with themselves that there is a reality where the Democrats never win another US election.

Are you really just going to "wait it out" and watch Trump Jr. or Meatball Ron takes over in '28? Then what?

Damn, that's so accurate. Harry potter is literally just a manifestation of liberalism. It's why I guess it's so easy for liberals to apply it to reality, even though material reality doesn't match it.

Pretty funny that it gets selected over Star wars, hunger games etc. which have a bit more materialism in their stories. But I think it's because that would actually require them to do something that is not conforming to their ideology.

Even going further with this analogy: when Voldemort takes over the government and schools, what do the "good guys" of those institutions do? Basically nothing. Everything relies on the individual, Harry, coming to their rescue.

    Shaun talks about this more in his video on Harry Potter. Large systems can't change but one person can make a small difference for themselves. And how in the final battle Harry doesn't even do anything, the deciding factor is a wand's interpretation of property

    Is this the ~2 hour video on Harry Potter by Shaun? I'm unfamiliar with this video and want to check it out.

    That's the one. You should watch his videos if you're not familiar with him as he'll drop something in 6 months, talk about an obscure short story that's an analogy for what's going on right now, and then it enters the Hexbear lexicon

    TBH sounds like potential Luigism, if you can convince the lib that Luigi is like Harry instead of AOC/Nancy Pelosi.
