There’s a tiny part of me that’s willing to allow that the people voting for him in 2016 just wanted to make their protests heard. Even though he was very, very clear who he is and what he stands for, people were struggling and made themselves heard in the shittiest possible way.
But the people who voted him in again, knowing exactly how it’s going to shake out could all drop dead at once and I wouldn’t shed a tear. Fuck every one of those cunts.
Everyday I read the news and get more depressed.
Hot take:
The problem isn’t the other middle class people who’ve been convinced to wear a different color hat.
The problem is the oligarchs who’ve been plotting to take over and destroy the power of the people by dismantling the government. The people who are actively doing that exact thing while the ignorant masses engage in tribalism and attacking people for voting.
Engaging on this topic is just furthering the distraction tactics. The people who’re actively working to destroy the government or implementing policies targeting minority populations are not your neighbors or anybody that you will run into on social media.
Oh but you don’t get it, they are NAZIS you seeeee
I mean I am sure of that even tho I haven’t actually met them or talked to them or even made an effort to understand them. But yeah pretty sure
I think once someone is making Nazi salutes on a presidential inauguration stage, we can safely call them a Nazi. And as the old saying goes, you know what you call all the people who sit down at a dinner table with a Nazi?
One problem is the GOP has been taken over and continually converted to MAGA; it started with calling people “RINOs,” attacking each other for party purity.
“Democrats fall in love; Republicans fall in line.”
We supported Trump because we believe that Biden’s policies have had a detrimental impact on our country. Over the past four years, those of us who work hard for a living have faced significant challenges. Inflation has skyrocketed to the point where basic necessities like housing, food, and healthcare are out of reach for many. My son, for example, would have to work far harder than I ever did just to afford rent. We voted for a better future for the working class.
In contrast, the previous administration has shown a lack of morals, ethics, and compassion for humanity. The support of actions that led to the loss of countless Palestinian lives raises serious ethical concerns. It’s important to reflect on how Biden’s actions impact the world and the people who suffer as a result. Blaming a president who is advocating for the wellbeing of hardworking Americans misses the larger issue at hand. It’s essential to focus on the real challenges facing our nation, rather than directing blame toward individuals who are working to create a better future for the people of this country.
I 100% agree with your critiques, but I don’t see how Trump was going to solve them. However, I’m pretty disappointed that you’re at -20 at the time I’m making this comment (thanks blue maga groupthink), so I’m upvoting you to try and turn the tide. But all standards, you have a well written comment that should not be downvoted into oblivion.
I agree that the Biden administration’s policies where not good enough to address the real issues facing working people in the country. They were pulling from the same neoliberal economic playbook that both parties have used and has been shown over and over again to increase inequality instead of decreasing inequality. Biden and Democratic leadership think we are still in the world economic situation of the 1990’s and refuse to believe otherwise.
However Trump on the other hand doesn’t even have a plan. He was correct in saying “The Economy sucks”, but had no other plan to fix the system besides “Drill Baby Drill” and “Let the Oligarchs decide how the economic system works”. Harris might have been an out of touch elite, oblivious to economic reality. But Trump is pain and destruction incarnate and will only cause more pain and destruction during his tenure.
The reality is the US Empire is dying and it can either go gracefully or with pain and anger while it takes the rest of the world with it.
If you’re paying any attention, you’d be seeing you’ll get nothing but precisely the opposite of what you claimed you voted for. Given Trump’s history, you have no leg to stand on believing that liar.
You possess a unique perspective that many of us do not have, as it seems you are able to foresee the future. However, it’s important to acknowledge that Trump is following through on the promises he made, while Biden has not delivered in the same way. In his final actions, Biden prioritized securing the well-being of his family and ensuring their safety. In contrast, it often appears that Biden’s focus has not been on the American people or their interests.
Trump enriched the rich at the expense of the working person, just like he did in his first term. There are a million other things I could point out but I doubt you’d listen to a single one of them
I respectfully disagree. The working class experienced significant gains during the Trump administration, and the past four years under Biden’s leadership have been particularly challenging. These are the facts based on the experiences of many and the main reason Trump is now president. It’s important to recognize that the wealthiest individuals often remain insulated from the hardships faced by hardworking Americans, and they do not endure the same struggles as those in the labor force. Essentially they always win!
Significant gains:
That’s a lot of words when “I have a rudimentary education and no critical thinking skills, so I’ll believe whoever tells me what I want to hear” is so much shorter.
The kicker is watching the great orange moron you elected already doing the opposite of what you think you voted for, but you’re just too stupid to understand. Hope your son enjoys never owning a home and working two jobs.

Mental health is a significant issue in today’s society, which is why I tend to avoid taking things too personally. When individuals respond with excessive anger, it often leads me to believe their frustration may stem from underlying issues unrelated to the topic at hand. Additionally, some individuals seem to struggle with engaging in constructive conversations with those who hold differing viewpoints, which is not reflective of the majority of us who are open to respectful dialogue.
You unapologetically voted for someone who is going to make mental healthcare even harder to access for people than before, so I’m not sure that you’re really in a position to be talking about how mental health is a significant issue.

We voted for a better future for the working class.
You laugh but that’s what they voted for. Empiric evidence suggests things weren’t too hot for them these last 4 years so I don’t know why would you laugh at them in any case
Sure, agreed. But they were convinced that voting away all their rights to the oligarchy was the way forward. The corporations won, Russia won. Disinformation convinced the majority of America to sign itself up to be raped and pillaged, and I will certainly laugh at those who think otherwise and the “magical egg price droppening” “magical house cheapening” are coming by stripping corporations of any and all restrictions
Inflation has skyrocketed to the point where basic necessities like housing, food, and healthcare are out of reach for many.
Get ready for more inflation and less food and healthcare access
The support of actions that led to the loss of countless Palestinian lives raises serious ethical concerns.
Great, prepare for Palestine to not exist at all anymore.
I understand that the Democrats are also the party of the corporate oligarch overlords and are also fucking us over, but at this point supporting Trump is just throwing the baby out with the bath water, my guy. You have bad, and extra bad, and you think extra bad is better for some reason?
It seems like there are many individuals here with the ability to predict the future! If you have such insight, perhaps you could share tonight’s Powerball numbers?
The sheer fact that your whole comment can be refuted and countered from just cursory searches and looking outside of curated news spaces means that you are either arguing in bad faith or you just choose to ignore reality. Either way your stupid decision is going to fuck over a huge number of people and that includes your son because trump has never worked a day in his life. He has bankrupt over 250 businesses, including a casino so he’s a shit businessman. Your inability or unwillingness to face reality is going to be responsible for everything that trump fucks up over the next, hopefully only, 4 years.
Such bullshit lol
My dad’s one of you. It was painful to see him Manchurian candidate unchecked bullshit he’s being fed nonstop, just like you.
You cannot objectively justify anything you just said.
It’s just fascist lip service
I’m not your father!

I would recommend familiarizing yourself with the definition before using the term.
Such arguing
Much wow
You are just belittling them with no substance to your argument
I’m not going to argue with you because there’s enough other people doing that. What I am interested though is a few statistics about yourself to compare to what you’re saying.
You claim to be part of a group who " works hard for a living"
Just wondering what your line of work is and yearly income.
Have you always voted conservative? does your family vote conservative or are you the outlier?
What social media platforms do you use?.
What region of the USA do you live in? Normally blue/ red?
Thanks!
The last thing that’s going on in there is arguing. Maybe you are confused with belittling.
Purity tests is not how you get workers to your doomed cause
America is waking up to the reality, as Germany once did, that 1/3 of their population wants to kill another 1/3 while the other 1/3 watches and stands by.
Your message is true, but your stats are off. Trump only got something like 15% of the total voting population in the US and won by like 1.5% of the vote. Studies say that historically, 60% of Americans are more liberal than the government - and that includes when Democrats have been in power.
Conservatives are a minority, and the MAGA crazies even more so. They just shout really loudly to convince everybody that they’re a majority. The real issue is that 50% or so of Americans simply don’t care enough to vote against fascism or care more about maintaining the facade of order than freedom. Like MLK said, the biggest threat to equal rights isn’t the white supremacist, but the white liberal who cares more about a negative peace than true justice.
The tools that were used to drive Germany to madness are much the same we’re seeing today. A lot of that first 1/3 is being bombarded with mass media saying “Black people are trying to kill you! Leftists are trying to rob you! The Evil Biden Government is trying to transgender your children!” over and over and over for decades on end.
This isn’t just Americans waking up one morning and deciding to be MAGA chuds. It is a product of two generations of intense right-wing propaganda through every avenue of mass media.
It’s also Americans not doing anything about it for the last two generations. The right-wing propoganda machine has been a threat for literally my entire life, but it has been allowed to complete its ultimate goal without anyone actually trying to stop it.
Oh boy, I am seeing it first half my country. An old friend of mine shares right wing propaganda several times a day, and doesn’t matter how many times I try to counter argument - he just doesn’t care. No reply, no reaction, no nothing. Not even responding to DMs.
Lost cause these people, and I’ve got better things to do than driving two hours just to knock on his door and talk some fucking sense into him.
At least I am getting positive reaction from people who see what kind of bullshit he shares.
That’s the one thing that gives me hope: their views changed radically but only in one generation through concentrated, directed effort. Calling people idiots or sheep misses the point that this is the natural result of exposing people to this shit daily.
Nobody in history ever thought people are inherently rational and considerate, society is held together through a culture that reinforces it. The tools of the information age can rapidly and drastically shape our society however we want it, we just need to pull them out of the hands of those billionaires burning civilisation to the ground for their own benefit.
Wow you have met them all? Incredible how some have time to deeply understand and meet a full nation worth of people.
Little reminder: Those people you are alienating, those as per your and Lemmy judgement “Nazi, racists, uneducated, homophobic, traitors, fascists, unethical, uncompassionate and misogynistic” are voters with as much rights as you have to decide the course of the nation
And guess what, YOU NEED THEM.
Not in the sense of WOW WE NEED THEIR VOTES MAYBE WE SHOULD NOT TREAT THEN LIKE SHIT kind of thing, although you actually DO need those votes.
I mean in the sense that these are the standard blue collar, hard workers of the country. Those plumbers, electricians, waste disposal, street sweepers, truck drivers, and so on
You know, the people? The workers that the Dems and libs cry daily to protect their rights?
Well those are the ones you are alienating with your message. The common man.
Dems have become the party of the coastal elites. You can’t cry against the stablishment because you became the stablishment.
So, it is alrighty if you think that alienating and pushing them common people outside of your leftist bubble is working for your cause.
But remember why you lost the election. Try to understand why if “we think the others are SO BAD and shout it into the wind, why didn’t we win?”
Because until you answer that question, you’ll be kept surely in permanent stunlock.
So go, sure. Protest, picket and outrage against every little thing they do. Tire yourselves. Double down on the name calling.
That surely will work wonders
They didn’t need my daughter, which is why they voted for someone who would make her part of his domestic genocides. And that’s why they forced us both to leave the country. So I don’t need them.
Little reminder: Those people you are alienating, those as per your and Lemmy judgement “Nazi, racists, uneducated, homophobic, traitors, fascists, unethical, uncompassionate and misogynistic” are voters with as much rights as you have to decide the course of the nation
Yep. They sure do. And I’m judging them for the direction they have chosen.
How is it whenever anyone makes a post like this, it’s “ZOMG don’t alienate the magas.” Do you suppose there are folks who care enough about unity to tell the magas maybe they shouldn’t alienate all the non-magas in their lives? Do you tell magas that? I have multiple neighbors who had signs in their yard for YEARS proclaiming Biden voters or Democrats as traitors, morons, etc as they adjusted the mix of their handwritten signs every so often.
Seems to me they have spent the past several years alienating me. Seems to me they have voted for policies and politicians that are explicitly intending to harm anyone who isn’t a white cisthet man. That includes quite a lot of groups that neither me nor anyone near me is a member of, but also includes groups that my children, my wife, and for that matter, a great many Trump voters themselves comprise.
And it seems to me that, just like when there was a bully in school as a kid, it’s somehow the victim always asked to be the bigger person, not the bully. That was horseshit then, and it’s horseshit now.
I mean in the sense that these are the standard blue collar, hard workers of the country. Those plumbers, electricians, waste disposal, street sweepers, truck drivers, and so on
Ask me about my background. (no don’t, but also don’t assume I’ve never been one of these people and can’t identify with where they are coming from)
Somehow the party with the worst record towards unions and labor has convinced all the folks with Union jobs that they will save them, and that they’ll do so with a bsuinessman at the head of the country with a reputation for not paying his bills. And I should sympathize with that?
I reject your scolding and premise at the most fundamental possible level.
These people have spent more than the past 8 years being the loudest, rudest, most hateful group in any venue. On a personal level, we have avoided family gatherings to not have to listen to their shit, though somehow we eventually end up hearing it anyway. The policies they support obviously and openly hurt anyone not like them, and a very large percentage of the time they hurt themselves also. They are currently loudly cheering as our nation and government are being actively dismantled by the man they voted for.
I have nothing left for these people but to keep anyone and anything I care about as far out of their path and notice as possible, and hope that 5 years from now we can be arguing about this and not decaying in a mass grave someplace after they work their way down the “First they came for” ladder until finally they find something my family needs to be sent to a camp for.
Trump supporters are some of the most whiny, needy, and snowflake people i have ever had the misfortune to meet/hear. They are an extremely vocal minority that is going to fuck things up for everyone. And guess what? The common man ISNT a nazi. They aren’t bigots, they aren’t sexist, traitors or unethical. Those are the minority. And the real problem is that those people think they are allowed to express these views. Freedom of speech doesn’t mean freedom of consequences.
That’s bullshit, I’m working class and the majority of my coworkers are left leaning. And guess what? If a plumber shows up to our job site with a Trump sticker, he doesn’t get to work for us that day and is told why. There are plenty of people with the skills society needs that don’t openly display their hatred.
Yes your bubble is the whole country. Sure
Seems like more people agree with me than you, so yea, I actually think it does represent a majority.
Well those are the ones you are alienating with your message. The common man.
‘Your policy of “don’t support Nazis” is alienating the people who I relate to.’
So go, sure. Protest, picket and outrage against every little thing they do. Tire yourselves. Double down on the name calling.
Pot calling the kettle black lol.
You have devaluated the meaning of the word Nazi then complain when people don’t think as you do. Check how that is working out
You’re the one whining, buddy.
Oh. Greet your boss like this for the next week:
Let me know how “the common man” treats you after you start doing that in public.
Surely my message will be seen by the millions of Trump voters on… checks notes …Mastadon
How do people not realize they live in an entirely separate digital space from the right.
Not just separate platforms (YouTube vs Rumble, Mastadon/Bsky vs X/Truth) but perfectly segregated by their personalized algorithms. They keep us separated by design. How many trans influencers are on truth social? Not enough for a user to view them as anything but an “other”…
This post is reaching nobody that needs to see it unless it has a sarcastic title over the screenshot
The message is for this post in general. I’d say it is reaching the intended audience
Don’t assume someone who voted for Trump lacks morals or is racist etc.
They could just be really stupid. Did you think of that?
Consider average intelligence, consider now that half of them are dumber than that.
Not sure why you’re being downvoted for being right. If the people who voted for Trump:
- Had 8 years to see exactly what Trump was like, and
- AREN’T wealthy business owners
…what other conclusions are there?
Cruelty is their primary motivation
Hate

I think this will be the dynamic that ultimately, finally, eventually-in-God-knows-how-long, bubbles over and hopefully addresses this nonsense. Enough people will slowly reach where many of us already are: just doooone. Out of patience and understanding.
It gets even more basic than that.
Trump is just plain repulsive.
No. Liberals are not in a position to judge. Genocide is the worst possible crime. And at the very least, every Harris voter decided genocide support wasn’t a dealbreaker. So they know exactly what it is to set their morals aside to support their demagogue. They’ve lost any right to claim the moral high ground.
Now if you didn’t vote for either Harris or Trump? Judge away.
Nah man One party is going to do a genocide And the other party is going to do a genocide, is fascist and will probably do more genocides
I wonder if you’ll be the first to take me up on this challenge. It’s mostly been ignored so far, but one person claimed it wasn’t possible for them to do because they lived in Japan, which was amusing:
If I challenged you to send an email to a prominent person- a celebrity or politician or business leader- to ask them to use their access to the media to speak on behalf of Palestine every time you decided to discuss last year’s election, would you do it?
Can’t win on your single issue? Then vote to make everything worse, including the issue that you use as a cudgel to disguise your authoritarian power fantasy!
As a trans person, and I mean this to my core, go fuck yourself. Gaza will be a parking lot now because of tankies like you. It’s impossible to put pressure on our government to help Palestine if we’re busy trying to keep our own country afloat and stop new genocides and horrors within our own borders. Shame there was no “perfect option”, or whatever bullshit you’re peddling.
Your calling genocide a “single issue” as if it were equally as important as school vouchers is an unserious approach to politics.
And if you voted for Trump, you supported the Palestinian genocide and the genocide of American minorities through the silent violence of the oppression of Project 2025 (as well as everything else in there such as the destruction of the American educational system), increasing the global power of Russia by appointing a known Russian asset to the presidency of the US (and all the other Russian assets that he was going to put into power through his cabinet), and the murder of potentially millions of Americans through another pandemic event, like Trump did during COVID.
And if you voted for neither? You were okay with either option happening. You didn’t care enough about genocide to prevent other genocides from occurring as a consequence of the election.
This is such peak Blue MAGA denial. Especially feigning concerns for Trump’s Covid deaths, which were absolutely eclipsed by Biden’s when he forced everything back open.
Bro you might be the catalyst for me to pay Sync for the ability to tag users
When you’re so deep in denial, you have to pay for a service to maintain it. LoL
‘Hello! Thank you for calling Hear No Evil, See No Evil. Here to help you plug your ears and shut your eyes to the horrors you deny.’
Blue Maga is a term dipshits use to manufacture false equivalence.
But hey, Trump’s going to turn Palestine into an all inclusive resort, and the Palestinians will get to stay, right? RIGHT!?
Disingenuous fuckwad
And that would’ve been different under Harris how exactly?
You’re not in a position to accuse anyone of being disingenuous, when you’re in the middle of gaslighting.
Was she working with Hilton instead of Sandals? I can’t seem to find anything about her resort plan being all inclusive though, so you would probably have to pay for food and such.
Y’all really do believe a Democrat quietly committing a crime is superior to a Republican loudly committing a crime. Wild.
You’re a dipshit. Sorry, but I’m fucking sick of arguing with assholes or your ilk. Obviously the Dem stance on Gaza wasn’t great, but you’re either willfully ignorant of so fucking stupid I’m amazed you remember to breathe if you ever for one second believed that Trump would be better for Palestine than Harris. Sometimes intelligent people are forced to pick between the lesser of two evils, but you wouldn’t understand with your “breathe in, breathe out” mental capacity.
Actually, I’m not sorry. Fuck you dude, I hope your cock rota off
I don’t think either would be better.
But I do think this rage is more a product of your insecurities than anything to do with me. Y’all know you’re genocide supporters now, and it’s not meshing with your self-image. It’s taken away any shred of moral superiority you held over Red MAGA.
And that would’ve been different under Harris how exactly?
Just use fewer words to get your point across next time:
I’m uninformed on this topic
By all means, oh wise one, inform me.
The problem is people like Andrea Junker here have gone way past the point of reasonability with their claims. So the people who are “supporting racism, …etc” don’t actually believe that they’re doing that. Because one teeny step out-of-line on the left, and you’re labeled right wing, and jumped on by thirsty hoards of people who would rather eat their own.
Nobody who’s voting republican actually believes you when you say they are supporting these things, because we live in clown world, and they’re all brainwashed into thinking that you’re lying.
I tell people this constantly, and get ignored or chided for the thought. Meanwhile, I’ve got a previously Trump supporter boss, who I’ve slowly become friends with and have shown him the problems on the right and moved him further to the left.
It can be done, but it requires not being a rabid animal about it.
They’ve gone to the election spouting claims immigrants are eating peoples pets, that they’re going to evict them all etc. If you’ve paid any attention to the run up for the election and yet claim they’re not voting for racist politics I really don’t know what to tell you.
They’re racists. Voting for the republican party because they’re spouting racist claims, backing it up with nazi salutes and racist acts.
She’s not being a rabid animal. She’s calling it for what it is. You’re not obliged to use kiddie gloves with these cunts
Nobody’s born a nazi, and in my opinion painting millions of people with a broad brush solves nothing even if feels righteous. There’s a whole spectrum of people ranging from apathetic to ignorant to hateful and inflammatory.
As funny as it is to call someone an idiot for voting based on the price of eggs, it lacks empathy for what that might mean to some people. What if all you’ve been eating is instant ramen with an egg to pay for a medical bill that insurance didn’t cover and now you can’t even afford that.
You might be more inclined to scroll past yet another “Trump says wild shit” headline but engage more with right wing Tik Tok content arguing that the system is broken because of the ((woke-ism)) and ((DEI)). Even if you don’t believe it, now the social media algorithm has your weak spot and can put you in an echo chamber to exploit it…
Are there still people out there waving swastikas and chanting racist shit in red hats? Sure. But screaming at them won’t change anything. If someone can be changed, you’re not going to reach them now with lecturing and scolding. It’s not kiddie gloves, it’s taking a realistic approaches to convince real human beings
Edit: Apparently saying people aren’t born Nazis is controversial in 2025. Let me frame it like this: if 30% of the population are idiotic, racist scum and tweeting about it for 8 years hasn’t changed anything, why keep doing it? Why keep tweeting free content for Libs of TikTok? Why not direct that anger towards the people running the asocial media platforms? The people actively dismantling our government? Why not do it in a non-digital space? Who cares if MAGA-loving Cletus is on your side or not?
Bro literally sounded the independent thought alarm.

Because one teeny step out-of-line on the left, and you’re labeled right wing,
On this is so true.
Just one example. This leftist guy, Matt Bernstein, made a video on YouTube about “How the right is winning young men” and had to basically apologize beforehand on his video, that was about men ISSUES , FOR TALKING ABOUT MEN ISSUES, all because he was afraid the left audience watching it, would rip him a new one.
This one
It says a LOT of your ideology when you can’t even acknowledge non ideological issues without getting in trouble with your own infighting peers. Man can’t even stray from the mainstream identity discourse without getting his throat ripped
Careful citizen, it seems you’ve had a little too much to think.
More seriously, I wish you all the luck in the world with convincing people that their personal two minutes hate isn’t a good thing.
Doesn’t help that there’s a lot of people down so low that idealogical elitism and self righteousness is nearly all they have going for them. It’s a legitimate issue that there are a bunch of people who are so depressed about the state of the world that they end up defining themselves by the fact that they aren’t part of the “bad group”, so any humanization of that group robs them of something vital to them.
Because one teeny step out-of-line on the left, and you’re labeled right wing
Genuinely trying to figure out what you’re referencing. Are we talking “one teeny” Daniel Perry shooting? Or is this “one teeny” mega-millionaire Dave Chappelle not getting a sixth Netflix comedy special because he’s become too transphobic? Or is this “my kids won’t talk to me anymore because I screamed ‘Pull your pants up!’ at Kendrick Lamar during the Superbowl Halftime Show”?

I’m not going to chide you, but after 8 years of trying, it’s only gotten worse.
I’m done. I need to focus on keeping my family safe and away from magas.
If you are having better luck changing hearts and minds, I applaud you for it. IME they aren’t interested in listening to anyone but Trump.
Just because they live in a clown world doesn’t mean we do.
Honestly at this point I don’t know if any Trump voters are intelligent enough to understand how wrong they are and how they’ve enabled really shitty people to do horrible things.
Like, genuinely, is it worth even trying to be nice or have a conversation in good faith when it’s basically impossible to do that even if you try. These folks are so far divorced from reality you can’t have a good faith convo because they don’t respect truth and won’t engage in good faith themselves.
You can’t really force these idiots to understand how wrong this shit is when they seemingly can’t even comprehend it. Like they’re just genuinely that fucking dumb.
When you become as reactionary as your opponents, then you’re no better than them. Thank you for not being like this.
So If I am as vehemntly against murderers as they are about murdering, I’m as bad as the murderer?
You’ve nicely summed up centrism.
Walk softly, and carry a big stick. You have the Declaration of Independence and the Boston Tea Party to guide any future actions you take to stop your current fascist leader. DO SOMETHING. You’re fucking up my country too.
Ever since the run up to Trumps first presidency I think you would agree that the republican party has become increasingly unhinged. And how has the democrats responded? With civility (in most cases.) And where has that got them? Your democracy is being dismantled, oversight removed, aid removed, trade wars with allies, etc. They got here by arguing in good faith, by being civil and not wanting to be labelled a reactionary.
Oh, and if you honestly believe you’re no better if you’re being reactionary towards fucking nazi saluting cunts, then fuck you. From the bottom of my heart, get absolutely fucked
On the contrary, the fascist bastards need to be called out. I wasn’t defending THEM, I was defending the average right of center voter. Those fascist animals should be put down. I’m not your enemy. They are.
I was defending the average right of center voter
Who voted for the fascists, making them fascists themselves
You have the Declaration of Independence, Second Amendment rights, and you know who they are.
Thus you see the utter banality of evil and how it gains power and momentum. From people not actually DOING something.
What are YOU going to DO to stop them, American?
If you are a liberal don’t care about your opinion.
Go back to X
Ok tankie.
I kinda think you do.
Well, I’m not a liberal but I agree with that post
Which is why nobody cares about GOP opinions and why most of the world thinks you are retarded. Like it or not, you live with people different from you, and you need to learn to play nice and compromise. I’m not saying to give up your morals completely, but meet in the middle and come up with something that works for both of you.
Might want to calibrate your use of “liberal” for your audience.
