As we know, libs refuse to believe their system does not work. However, they also believe that it shouldn't be possible to elect someone like Trump in this system. They don't know how to reconcile this contradiction.

Last two elections there was the constant blaming of "Bernie bros" until Biden finally won. Bernie is fully behind Biden now so I don't think they'll try this angle. There was the whole Mueller thing (I still don't know what even came out of that??) and the media constantly reporting that THIS TIME Trump will finally go down, though this reporting is still going on. They had the Women's March which was the closest thing to praxis but it was clearly a waste of time with no plan to actually get anything done. There was the sudden need to blame Russia for election interference and general racism against Russians which is still ongoing. Does anyone remember Cambridge Analytica?

At the moment I'm seeing libs asking everyone to excuse supporting genocide because we need to keep the cheeto out of the White House. But I feel like their brains are going to break when the cheeto does get back in the White House.

Yeah, I'm going to guess they'll go back to blaming all of America's problems on him rather than seeing him as a symptom of the system. Basically a lot of focusing on him being populist and SNL skits calling him a mango or some shit.

And like you said they'll blame leftists for not voting for Biden losing instead of it being their own damn fault for pushing a candidate that is too far right and unpopular.

This is probably what's going to happen. Instead of blaming Bernie and 'Bernie Bros', they'll blame the Pro-Palestinian Tankies for not voting for Biden apparently due to some weird ethical stance about genocide or whatever.

Bingo. It's going to be college students and other people on the "radical left" who support Hamas and encouraged everyone not to vote. You can already see this starting.

Also some kinda' islamophobic "muslim infiltration" narrative about people being tied to Iran/Palestine/Lebanon or some shit.

Lol I was talking about this with my partner and idk I guess we’ll see but tbh, I expect trump is gonna win by a large enough margin that the 0.05847% of tankies in America wouldnt be enough to have swung the election one way or another even if we all did decide to go vote biden

I expect the same but they'll blame us anyway.
