Good luck getting justice with Matt Gaetz as attourney general and an imperial presidency intent on reversing everything the civil rights movement ever achieved.

Eh. Fuck off. I really don't care anymore.
You chose this. You knew exactly what was at stake, you knew who Trump was beyond any shadow of a doubt, you knew he was going to fully enable Isreal to wipe your family off the face of the earth. You knew.
I fought all the bad faith arguments flying around here and beyond. All the "never genocide" bullshit. Every day, for the better part of a year.
But you played stupid fucking games. And now we all have to find out.
It sucks because people will suffer. Likely people I care about too. But this bleeding heart "liberal" has been bled dry. I can't muster any more fucks.
Liberals love to talk about how much their hearts bleed. But it was also liberals talking about how disruptive and criminal people protesting in black bloc were being last time Trump was in power. It was also liberals who were saying students protesting peacefully on campuses needed to be beaten and thrown in prison.
You lot don’t give a shit about anyone but yourselves. You use minorities as tokens and ways to sell merch. The downside to that is that when the republicans are doing pogroms these next four years, they’re gonna be going after the people who aren’t armed. And while leftists will always have the backs of our queer and trans brothers and sisters, democrats can figure out defense and mutual support on your own. Because we remember who was really there for us last time, and it wasn’t you. It will never be you.
It's curious that these people never targeted the Republican position on Gazza, even though it was clear from the polls that Trump had a good chance of winning.
I'm with you bud. I honestly tried. Lesser of two evils, help everyone, people deserve safety nets. Well the people I was fighting to help overwhelmingly voted against all of those. I honestly feel for anyone who voted for the same things I did and lost, but anyone who didn't vote or voted to remove those protections I'm done feeling bad for.
Sorry grandma, you voted in the man who openly wanted to get rid of Medicare. Don't care anymore. You needed Obamacare but voted for the people who openly said they'd repeal it? Too bad, get some bootstraps.
Again, those who voted to protect those things I feel for and I still want to help, but I'm done trying to help those who openly push against me.

A world renowned, pathological liar "played you"? The guy famous for a decades long history of incredible contradictions, tall tales and epic falsehoods. That guy. The Mythomaniac to end all mythomanics. The compulsive liar that lies more easily than he breaths? He played you? Really? I'm shocked!
I am still shocked about one thing: How could they fall for it???
Lots of great voter outreach in the comments here! Keep telling them they deserve to see the genocide of their people! If you alienate them enough, they'll definitely vote for you next time!
Edit: I wanted to thank everyone for all the great ideas for Muslim outreach in future elections! I can tell by the downvotes that not all of you liked what I had to say, but if I learned one thing from the Harris campaign, it's that you can't care what a community thinks of you, no matter how many votes it costs you!

Headline is misleading. It was a quote from a single individual.
Only now, at the end, do you understand?
I don’t feel sorry for these people. We’ve been through the Trump administration once already. They completely knew what they were voting for.
They still don't understand, they just don't like that it's going to affect them.
To be fair, Rashida Tlaib basically told them not to vote for Harris. Probably should reconsider voting for her next election.
“Cut off your nose to spite your face.”
It's like the trolley problem but the person pulls the lever to kill as many people as possible to "send a message" to whoever is tying up people on trolley tracks.

Love how one person's quote is supposed to represent Dearborn. It was literally a fuck you to dems. Everyone in Dearborn knows trump is also going to do it. Rebuking the dems for doing it was the least they could do. They gave dems every opportunity to stop it.
If all of you libs that wish ill upon them because your team didn't win had a moment of self reflection you would realize that the dems weren't saving anyone even if they won. When fascism shows up, blue or red, you fight it.
Notice how the dems aren't doing every maneuver they can to clip Trump's upcoming power. Hell a bunch voted to allow charities and other ngos to be able to be declared terrorist. Thankfully some of the lesser known dems fought it off. The party leaders are part of the ruling class.
Get off your assess and start doing some direct community support or action, no one is coming to save us, we protect us.
This doesn't even belong in this community. I think it being posted here makes people who don't read past the headline think they voted for Trump
Edit: I guess some of them did, but I don't recall Trump ever being dishonest about his support for Israel, so I don't see how he "played" them
Yes, no shit. We tried to tell you. Unfortunately you were too heartless to listen until it impacted you personally.
Cool, we all get to suffer for it
Minorities have been suffering for years under both democrats and republicans. If democrats can’t manage to survive four years, then that’s your problem.

Idiots.
You can tell em til you're blue in the face but only after they see it themselves does the light come on.
LOL! They voted for Jill Stein!
People be voting like they're in a ranked choice or proportional representation system & not in a 2 party FPTP system?! Those that previously voted Dems can't just be voting for a 3rd party and not realise that they're effectively handing the win to Trump!? Maaaybe do a 'protest' or 'teach a lesson' at some time when there's NOT a wannabe dictator leading the other party?! Just a thought…
