I'm sure some Matt rant has covered this but it isn't enough for the dems to do absolutely horrifying shit, crushing or tearing apart the bodies of thousands of children and so forth. After they do this, they turn to us, crouched over the mangled corpses, eyes gleaming with strange light, and say: You wanted this, didn't you? This is what you want. You consent to this. You want this to keep happening. Go on, say it. Vote for this. Say it. You want it. I will hear you say it.

Because the system is designed to punish. The election is a disciplinary tool.

If you don’t vote for us, then you will be punished with a president who will be objectively worse on all fronts. That’s what you get for even dare to think that you can break the rules we have put in place by abstaining from the electoral process. No, if you don’t vote, you get punished. If you don’t vote for us, you get punished too.

The election is a disciplinary tool.
