Joe Biden told folks at a fundraiser that after he is elected Republicans will have an “epiphany” and work across the aisle with him.
My initial reaction was “how does someone who was Obama’s Vice President believe that? And why couldn’t he produce these results from 2009-16?
But Biden is not alone in believing this. Millions of Democrats and political pundits also believe it, for the same reason coal miners believe Trump will bring back a golden age of coal jobs or that he will turn back the clock to make them “respected.” They believe because they desperately *want* to believe, despite all evidence to the contrary, because facing the reality that the world no longer works under the rules they knew no longer exists and never really existed in the first place.
“I will work across the aisle and find bipartisan solutions” is the Democratic Party version of MAGA, and those who push it are either suckers or swindlers.

This message is a warning and a reminder for any surviving Jedi. Trust in The Force. Do not return to the Temple... that time has past. And our future is uncertain. We will each be challenged. Our trust. Our faith. Our friendships. But we must persevere. And in time, a new hope will emerge. May the Force be with you, always."
