Fuck McConnell to the moon and back.
Was bad sarcasm on my part. Someone told me exactly the same thing in this thread.
Yes its all too much. I used to be so passionate about politics and working my ass off. Only to be rewarded with loss after loss.
The new swing vote would be John Roberts, who has some consideration towards making the courts look legitimate. So he'll make sure there's some sliver left over to say previous decisions are not technically completely overturned.
Otherwise, we're fucked.

It's difficult to have any other reaction to this news than this.
I've never been this demoralized about the future of the US.
Democrats are complicit in Republican voter repression?
Whatever man. If both-sidesing helps you sleep at night, then good for you.
Alert the mindless fucks who kept saying "it won't be so bad"?
like you
Just read the sentence man. This viewpoint isn't unique to people your exact age (though it is held more by older folks).
Also yeah that's a whole admin you should've been rallying against for 10 years too!
The Democrats had a minority in the Senate. The only possible option was a crazy move during the Senate transition that would have likely led to a lot of bad negative fallout.
This is not about a lack of "political courage".
Nah man, panic time was when this fascist shithead was elected, now we are all along for the ride and if you want a purview of the destination and sights and sounds, I ask you to look towards history unapologetically and without a hint of bias then answer me, honestly, that it is not time to panic?
Everything is coming down around our ears and people still want decorum, at this rate if we keep waiting we won't be able to do anything.
Which part of Asia are you in? Is it hard to get a citizenship there?
What are we supposed to count on anymore? The healing power of common decency? When the deck is this stacked against basic sanity, what's the point in even pretending the ship can be put back on the right course?
I'm sorry, but with every new revelation, and every new development in this nightmare of an administration, I find it less and less likely that the blue wave is going to do shit to help us. At best they'll be able to slow the bleeding, but it's going to take decades to repair the damage that's already been done, much less the damage that WILL be done once Trump gets ANOTHER arch-conservative SC pick.
But they never will and politicians won't press the issue because they still want those peoples votes. Personal Responsibility and facing the consequences of your actions is a completely alien concept to most Americans.
People say don't be defeatist, but it's so hard sometimes when shit like this happens, because you know even when the democrats take control again, they won't have the spine to do half of what the gop does. I guarantee you if RBG dies before 2020, even if we control the senate then they won't block trumps nominee. They still cravenly cling to civility even throwing a member of their own party under the bus because she said it wasn't a bad thing that happened to trumps propaganda minister, and people think these people will have the stones to pack the court? There's a joke.
IM donating and volunteering for Beto down in Texas, but at this point I think it's just going to stem the bleeding a little bit. More and more I feel this country is truly fucked.
I had originally said that the next President should exhaust his Executive Orders privilege to undo as much of Trump's policies as possible since legislative means would take too long. Now, only way to fix this is if the next POTUS is a straight up dictator.
I have been rallying for the Blue Wave. But this undermines that entirely. Whats the point of a Blue Wave if anything they do goes before a Red Court?
I voted for her LMAO FOH
If you wanna piss and moan about my lack of die hard support for her, take that fucking shit to PM
It's too soon to start talking about a replacement. Call us in 2020.
If Democrats do anything other than play hardball, drag every nominee through the mud, delay, or generally make this appointment hell, I'm not voting. There's no reason to vote on a party that will not fight tooth and nail, even in a losing battle.

Nope. The opportunity was the 2014 midterms, then the 2016 elections.
Dems fucked it up. There is no "now is time to fight". Now is time when the chickens come home to roost. This is when people lean the hard way why "vote or die" was an accurate voter awareness campaign. This shit is years in the making and can't be microwave fixed because you are suddenly motivated to...talk more on the internet. If you or anyone else cared, they would have been helping get out the vote in the last 2 elections. We're here now because your current motivation and enthusiasm (not you personally, but in general) was absent when it needed to be.
This shit is making me angry. It's like watching people complain that the crops aren't good during harvest season without consideration for the poorly executed planting season...then wondering why we can't just plant some crops now and eat next week. It's just sad to watch. And frustrating.
There are no moderate Republicans anymore. If 2016 wasn't the final nail in that coffin, this certainly was.
I think this seals it, there will definitely be a civil war or some kind in the next few decades.
I want so badly to leave this shit hole country...

World could literally be on fire and they'll be all "chill you're just overreacting."
They're complicit in ALL voter suppression (which just happens to affect mainly poor, black, or immigrant voters). I mean, how many times did full voting rights for DC come up during the democratic majority in Congress? That's what being "complicit" means
A stacked court could prevent that from ever happening again.
A left wing soft coup is better than anything the US has had in decades.
Just last night after reading a ton of threads on the Gorsuch seat stealing I was genuinely worried about RBG and then this happens. I'm honestly just astounded that the stupid fucker from the Apprentice has this much control on the future of this country. We are beyond fucked.
Uh, no. Voter suppression measures are enacted by Republican state governments.
Nobody is gonna give up, but there is nothing you can realistically do about this. America is now well and truly fucked for the foreseeable future. No voting will change that.
People feel that because our modern era is at the end of history textbooks, means they don't live in history and the struggle is over. Nah. The Civil Rights movement never ended. We need to take this shit seriously.
There's 1 way out of this. Hopefully the current administration crosses the proverbial line often and hard.
He should've stuck around until he dies. RBG is older and she knows what it means to give Trump another pick.
