    Only significant pain will transform the US unfortunately. And it’ll either be economic or combative. Most MAGA voters are gone, but the “nothing will change” non-voters can be woken up from the delusion that nothing matters and helped to recognize that voting at its most basic is harm reduction.

    As a border state that sees a bunch of Canadian tourists and shoppers it’ll suck, but the only way out is through.

        I’m incredibly sad about it too, it consumes a non-inconsequential amount of my family. But a large faction of the US have been trained since the civil rights era that it’s good to suffer hurt yourself as long as you are hurting the undesirables more.
