        And I voted for genocide and union strike breaking.

        First Past The post voting pushed us all into a corner and there seems to be no light at the end of the tunnel. The democrats will proclaim they are not trump, and everyone will vote against their self interests yet again.

        Yup. Trump and co haven’t been sneaky and deceptive. They’ve been loud and clear this whole time. These voters weren’t tricked. They voted for their trans neighbours to be dehumanized and made to suffer. They voted for their wives and mothers and daughters to be controlled and owned. They voted for their workforce to be plucked off the street by masked government grunts and shipped to a maximum security prison in another country for life. Personally, I would never be able to look this fucking scum in the eyes again without my hatred of them being visible.

          That’s exactly the thing. Trump is a liar, but he’s not lying about what he’s doing, he’s lying about the outcomes. When called out for shit, he lies then too, but he has told everyone exactly what he has wanted to do. A vote for Trump was a vote for a racist, bigoted, rapist, wanna be dictator. His literal words were that he wants to be a dictator. There is no trickery in what he said, and the people that voted for him wanted exactly that. Now they’re upset it’s hurting them, and that’s about the only silver lining I’m find through all of this. If it wasn’t affecting me and mine, I’d have died from schadenfreude a month ago.

          I don’t know why we make excuses for people who voted for this. I was raised by undereducated republican parents in rural Indiana, I went to public school, I didn’t go to college, and I work in a factory in my extremely red home town. Didn’t vote for this. Never would. Education isn’t what makes me different, it’s empathy and the tinest bit of effort to understand the world I live in.

      Agreed! Republican voters are KNOWN to Learn Their Lessons! That’s why they DIDNT vote for Trump AGAIN after Covid and January 6th and. . .

      Guy keeps sticking his keys in a power outlet and gets hurt.

      My guy, if you keep sticking your keys in the power outlet, you’re gonna hurt yourself.

      Blaming the guy’s pain on his sticking his keys in the power outlet will only get a repeat of the behavior.

      Elites want us blaming each other and not them.

        Except, he’s sticking his key in the power outlet, knowing it will hurt him, because it’ll hurt people like me worse.

        No. Fuck anyone who voted for Trump. Fuck you for thinking that I don’t deserve the same rights as they do.

      This is true. Just make sure they know whose responsible for screwing them over, and the same people screwed you over, and your kids, and everyone else in the US expect for like 2000 people
