linked article is what has convinced me he's got it in the bag. the wapo/nyt libs are exactly as insufferable as they were in 2016 and the results will the identical. he'll win for all the same reasons he did the first time and libs, having learned absolutely nothing, will make all the same complaints and tear their hair out trying to figure out what happened. watching the most performatively irritating people on earth eat crow is going to be absolutely chefs-kiss

and i don't even have to feel bad about laughing because kamala's policies are literally identical to trumps, so its not even like theres gonna be additional palestinians/trans people/women who are suffering because of it

Just remember Hexbear is always wrong. The more we call it, the less certain I become

I think that's what happened here just before Russia's military moved into Ukraine.

Of course I know them, they're me

I was surprised too. I had some "nothing ever happens" brainworms at the time.

The mistake was assuming a rational thing would occur

In my case I'll admit I was just looking at what the state department said and assuming they were lying about everything and not just most of it

I think all of us were assuming that Biden would lose in 2020. I know I was.

I think it was split. Lots of people here argued that we should vote for him for the sake of "harm reduction".
The main argument was covid, abortion, queer rights, the massive riots going on with people being disappeared in black vans and foreign policy. Lol. Lmao even.
(There was also pushback on this, but I am just trying to say that hexbear was not united on the election)

Technically the site was still chapo.chat back then and I hadn't even joined yet (I was still enough of a lib to vote for Biden, that's completely over) so I don't know how well Hexbear can call it

The real reason for the joke is hexbear more or less as a whole was of the opinion nothing would happen in Ukraine (something happened).
This is contrasted by our ability to lathe a great many world events, provided the scenario is sufficiently ridiculous. And that is how dialectics work.
