Why does the background of that guys post read "I think that my virginity's growing back?"

Not sure. Might be some messed up reference to getting fucked again.

Something bOtH sIdEs dipshits came up with to sell the idea that dem voters are the same as GOP ones

It's a word that Republicans and people who've never read the following articles say:

It's a term to describe the traits of "red MAGA" that Democrats mirror. Obliviousness to their own faults, the crimes of the American imperial machine, the complicity of their chosen leaders in genocide and crimes against humanity, the reliance on emotional decision-making instead of rational analysis, the elevation of political personalities based on meme thinking, etc. A way of pointing out the general complicity of the American public in the subjugation of the world that their leaders engage in, as opposed to the usual narrative that "the other party" is to blame.

There's a growing contingent of Democrats who are showing very MAGA traits. The types that demand everyone fall in line and vote how they say, without listening to any compromises. The types who believe that the issue is that the Democrats are playing too fairly, and should stoop to the Republicans level. The types who believe that the issue with Kamala Harris is that she was a black woman, and that diversity should have been ignored for a secured political win by running an old white dude. The types that blindly listen and defend media bought and paid for by wealthy capitalists because they think it represents "their side."

Realistically, the only thing stopping these people from being MAGAts is personal life circumstances. Maybe their high school bully was a Republican, or they know just enough economic theory to realize how stupid conservative ideas are, or their grandad worked in a union job. In truth, they are as tribalistic and as ignorant as a Trump supporter; their fervor is just to a D instead of an R.

Merely 4 years is the absolute moonshot best-case scenario, if the current trajectory remains unaltered

Both parties support this fundamentally disgusting injustice system. It's an important foundation of their violent control.
