    It’s already begun. Headlines splitting the blame between Biden and Trump (Biden’s name goes first). Opeds about how the only way to fix this is to reduce entitlement spending, and how it’s already the Dems fault that we can’t do that, because they may control a chamber after November. The presupposition is that entitlements are bad and must be eliminated. Fucking lazy, sick seniors, why can’t they just die.

      reduce entitlement spending

      It’s never the fault of the Billionaires getting massive tax cuts - it’s always the fault of the poor person trying to buy food .

      This is precisely how it will go and the right and corpo Dems will beat this drum hard if there are a significant amount of progressive leaning members in congress. For the republicans its a way to continue to shift the blame to the citizens not the corporations for the Dems its a way to try to weaken the progressive’s chances to build long term momentum.
