it's the COVID psychic damage
The biggest blackpill for me was a poll that found that, despite Trump's abysmal approvals and Dems cleaning house lately, an hypothetical 2024 rematch would still be a tossup. The insane reality is that a majority of US voters really experienced the Biden years as some kind of epochal catastrophe!
“I’m not gonna lie to you about the economy like Biden and trump and say it was great“
“Achtually the economy was great under Biden, the guy we dumped 4 months out from the general here are some charts“
If you think the 100% true fact that the economy was good under Biden is relevant youre dumb

Targeting Kelly is one of those “this is why we’ll win” moments, bc it shows how politically impetuous this admin is.
There’s clearly no adult in the room to say “wait, maybe don’t go after the charismatic war hero turned literal astronaut who ran after his wife was a victim of political violence.”

Mark Kelly: "My wife, Gabby Giffords, meeting with her constituents, shot in the head. Six people killed around her, a horrific thing. She spent six months in the hospital. We know what political violence is and we know what causes it too, The statements that Donald Trump made incites others."

@goldwagnathan.bsky.social is very right that *stories* need endings, but often a fictional world is very strong if it can tell many stories within it.
Still amazing this comes from the space wizard with laser sword franchise that is owned by Mickey Mouse.

His true frenemy was always Maul
I always loved how Grievous and Kenobi had this long rivalry throughout the Clone Wars. I'm only really sad it rarely gets brought up after Grievous was destroyed.
No idea if Old Ben Kenobi brings him up ever but still.
