Hate to break this to you. But let me introduce you to the favorite saying of every Centrist Democrat that gets elected president:

"It is time to heal and move on."

They care more about peace than justice.

i'm reminded of something mlk jr wrote, on a related topic:

I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice;

That's a lot of people - they just want things to be quiet and easy for them, and if there's injustice for others they'll just have to live with it.

see the thing though is that "all of this" in the meme is very vague. it could mean a full-on cultural revolution, one where democrats and republicans alike do not exist anymore. I don't think people are really wanting to go back to the status quo, not really. it's obviously infinitely better than christofascism, but people want meaningful change. probably a big reason why Kamala Harris was not so popular, even though I voted for her

that ain't peace, they just want to protect their acomplices.

Like they did in 2021? Ha.

That's exactly what they did in 2021. Biden appointed a Republican, Merrick Garland, as his attorney general. And Garland sat on his ass for two years without bringing any charges. Only when they were shamed into it by House committee investigations did they actually start to move. By then, it was too late. Trump ran out the clock. They prosecuted Trump to appease the base, but they did so late enough that Trump stood no chance of conviction before the election.
