Unfortunately it’s going to get a lot worse as 2024 draws nearer.
I might have to get off Bluesky myself, because I have to focus on my mental health.
“Bothsides” equivalancers and people calling other people “genocide supporters” be cause we acknowledge that we live in a complex political system can go fuck right off with their “moral superiority”
And it’s kind of unreal that people don’t understand that. I want those progressive policies as much as anyone but I’m also aware of the reality. Those are always going to be a hard sell in this political environment.
There’s a level of nihilism that settling in to a younger demographic that sees no future regardless of who gets into the White House.
Younger voters who want changes now and are frustrated when these things don’t happen immediately even though change always comes slow.
It’s a position that ignores nuance. I can disagree with how the Biden administration is handling Isreal/Palestine or worry about his age, while also know I’m voting him because “have you not seen the other side.”
I honestly don’t know how you can pull a “both sides” over this and yet people are
I doubt it. Following those loses they straight up doubled down on the crazy despite it was that crazy that fucked them over.
They misread what was going on during quarantine as “yes these Parents also hate the gays” when they were just upset that schools were closed.
Many of them tend to believe they are “the good immigrants” that did everything legal, ignoring the fact that it was much, much easier to gain entry into the country back then and that it is significantly harder to do so now.
They pull that ladder right up.
My point is that they want this because they don’t actually know what it means. They honestly think that Democracy will be overthrown and that they’ll be able to get drunk and watch Sports like any normal day.
And that’s not including the fact that we have one political party increasingly willing to blow everything up should they not get what they want
The problem is that a lot of voters aren’t there yet. That’s the unfortunate truth. We’re not ready for a full on progressive movement because a majority of the voting public do not have the stomach for any radical change.
Played it for the first time a couple years back on my PsVita.
It is astounding how much that game still holds up.
It’s not that they’re okay with it. They’re just stupid enough to think that nothing will change at all.
The only silver lining is, if the Republicans get what they want, then plenty of Trumpers are going to hate what’s coming.
It’s plausible deniability. “We’re just doing what our voters want!!”
Cowards. The lot of them.
They get comfortable, think you’re one of them “good ones” and then they hit you with the racism/sexism/homophobia.
Happens to me all the time.
Jeez. Had a Lyft where the entire time the dude started complaining about how there are too many Indian people on Jersey, and the entire time I’m thinking “why on earth would you think i was the right person to talk about this?"
Not surprising considering where G/O is heading. Only a matter of time before Kotaku and AvClub follow suit.
Unfortunately a lot of people do this. They'll sit and nod to their liberal friends about trans rights and police reform up until they get into the voting booth and vote red. Every single time.
Either she's a right winger or she's a coward. Either way that's not a good friend.
Because for so many people, Policy is an abstract concept.
But what does get people off is culture war nonsense. Because hurting the people they don't like feels good in the moment. And that's why people will vote them in again and again.
Watching that go down was hysterical. No matter what Space Karen, he couldn't please the turd.
Of course none of that stops them from being "freaks in the sheets" when no one is looking.
I was just about to post about that. It’s fucking insane in that very same article where they admit Dems overpreformed last night, they still farted out a list about “here’s how Biden could still lose in 2024—people are worried about his age!”
Seems like it. Straight up people implying or outright stating that the Israelie people deserved what they got….
When they’re not downplaying or outright denying that the Hamas attacks that started this.
Centrists are cowards who can’t bring themselves to claim they are Republicans because they still want to get laid.
On the one hand I agree with this, on the other hand the fact that I don’t have a place to go to when I’m drunk at 3am makes me sad.
And you can tell he admires the world of Bladerunner and thinks it’s a future we should strive for.
Reminds me when he awkwardly tried to meme The Matrix and one of the Wachowski sisters told him to fuck off.
He’s so bad at this.
He wants to turn Twitter into WeChat. Where it’s both a social platform and a banking platform.
If you give Twitter your money you deserve everything that’s coming to you.
I literally have no memory of VHS’ having a “widescreen edition”
That’s craaaaazy
God I remember the days when liberals where hyping him up as the “Smarter Trump”
Man where does the time go?
