That's hardly better than the comment you're replying to.

Um yes I'm not exactly brimming with faith in American democracy.

Honestly, I'm still optimistic about MAGA ending soon.

Yeah no. MAGA isn't just a random flare up; it's the result of systemic problems in American society producing fascism*. The best you're ever going to get without wide-reaching systemic reform is a four-year break before neo-MAGA (probably but not necessarily under a different name) appears with a vengeance. You can't wait out fascism any more than you can wait out cancer; you actually have to get it treat it or it'll kill you.

*To radically oversimplify, there are only two modes of government capitalist elites will tolerate: centrist liberal democracy and rightwing totalitarianism, and a society that (to give one example) can't house its young won't get to exist as a liberal democracy for long. You do the math.

All my life the pendulum has swung right and then left. This swing to the right is the worst so far, but I think it will end too.
