like touching the stove, we just had to learn for ourselves

And then eight years later you put your hands all over that stove again.

I think we may have climbed into the stove this time.

No, I think you've climbed into the oven unfortunately.

Millions never stopped giving the stove a handy, it's not like it was a landslide rebuke when Biden was elected.

2016 was stupid, but fine people are stupid, I could treat it as a blip.

2020 millions more still voted for this bullshit, but hey ultimately failed so ok.

2024? Americans, you just literally voted to murder your country. There is no coming back from this, even if "America" survives as a whole country you'll face decades of rebuilding relationships if even possible.
