> Because no counterargument, however simple, would be effective.
Please pardon directness, but to get to the heart of the matter after years of these helpless arguments (and in reference to Democrat officials, not to the parent): What a bunch of losers.
This problem isn't even hard on the scale of life and politics. The #1 problem - possibly the only real problem - is their loser attitude. Who ever accomplished anything with that attitude. The GOP, in constrast, thinks the impossible is possible, never stops and barely slows down after each catastrophe, after Trump's loss, after Jan 6 ... and they have transformed the country and the world.
At least SV and HN should appreciate that. And IMHO, the constrast between the two is where much GOP support for their insanity comes from. Who supports whiny, ineffectual, helpless leaders? What's even the point? Imagine the support someone with courage, capability (including effective communication and charisma), and a plan to win would instantly garner.

Now victimhood and powerlessness are everywhere and your enemies could not dream of better. You outnumber them, but you put down your arms and complain.
