You’re probably right but I hope you’re wrong.

They're suffering, not me and not you.
I’m queer and visibly gender non conforming. I’m not suffering yet but I will be soon because democrats are controlled opposition. Nobody is coming to save us. Liberals are out to brunch. They’re confirming his nominees! Fuck them!
You of course, are perfectly comfortable at home on your computer. Paying your taxes and making some fresh pop with your Sodasteam™.
If Palestine versus Israel wasn't something you saw as an opportunity to demonstrate your virtue and your correct-think then you wouldn't give a shit.
I’m an antizionist jew who’s been anti Israel for 20 fucking years. I don’t own a soda stream for obvious fucking reasons. That genocide isn’t staying over there, dumb liberal. All that tech will be used against me soon. Fuck liberals.
If their dog got kicked by musk or trump somehow the dog deserved it. That’s what we’re dealing with.
As if trump would want Quebec anyway. They’re too French for him.
Anyway. Vermonter here. Even our states name is French. Surely he wouldn’t notice if we just left and joined Quebec right? If you’ll let us? We can run a maple syrup cartel together 🥹
That took an uncomfortably long time for me to get the joke and I’m mad about it
I think the right will revolt if pushed hard enough. A lot of trumps support isn’t genuine - it’s a lot of “reverse” lesser evil strategy. Most people I work with in a deep blue state (federally) voted for him. Of those, only two are actual trump supporters. The rest are mostly “apolitical” and don’t like him but saw him as less evil than Harris, who promised a continuation of much of the same failed policy as biden which was economically hurting my coworkers.
I think one of my coworkers - straight, female, 30s, white, seemingly socially liberal - is a perfect microcosm into the average trump voter: Me: I’m surprised you voted for trump. Why? “my paycheck didn’t go as far under biden. I don’t like the guy but I’m struggling now more than ever.” Me: what about women’s reproductive rights? “I’m not worried, our state’s constitution protects it”Me: what would make you regret your vote? “if they went after the states right to abortion”
This woman doesn’t hate minorities, doesn’t really care about immigration, is pro lgbtq, pro women’s rights. And she voted for trump because neoliberalism is bankrupting her. She’s not alone. The rabidly stupid base of trump supporters the media parades around because they act like a ridiculous cult are not the people who put trump in office. My coworker is the type who put trump in office. And if government services they or their loved ones rely on disappear or they’re kicked off of, there’s a real chance they might revolt.
Who will stand up to trump about anything?
No one, because the democrat party is controlled opposition.
I totally agree with this. They’re fucking around and they’re about to find out. There’s a gun behind every blade of grass in this country. The question is… what will be the last straw? I think we came dangerously close to a revolution during the beginning of covid, with the right wing losing their collective shit over being asked to stay home and wear a mask, and the BLM protests after another black person was shot by the cops. (Note the difference in severity of offense to get a crowd to form. Blacks getting killed vs whites getting inconvenienced)
What’s it going to take? Killing off social security? Medicare? Medicaid? I think SS will do it. My mother (and many others her age) rely on it almost entirely to survive. With nothing left to lose, kids grown and looking at the end of their lifespan, why not revolt? My moms a dem but most her age are trump supporters. Surely it’s the undesirables that trump will hurt and not them. but are they physically fit enough to revolt? Doubtful.
Last year I was in Home Depot looking at tool accessories. A woman dressed in marine officer uniform approached me. I thought she was hitting on me at first. In reality, she was trying to recruit me to the marines. “You look so young and fit! Hard to find these days!” Well unfortunately for her, not young enough.
This woman was casing out the local Home Depot looking for young fit people to recruit. They’re desperate. What does that say about our society and the chances that we even could revolt successfully? What does that say about our national security in general?
As for the whigs… the republicans went that way when trump and the tea party took over. The republicans of my youth (bush 2 and co) are now effectively the democrat party. See Liz Cheney as an example….
Thank you for this glimmer of sanity. I can’t deal with the libs and their vote harder bullshit any longer. We need real leadership and opposition, something the democrats are incapable of because it offends the “good billionaires” (lololol they learned nothing from the loss) aka their controllers.
Wow, I always assumed all fruits and vegetables don’t grow exactly the same as the fruit/vegetable the seed came from.
Who am I supposed to vote for? The fascists or the controlled opposition?
Explain to me what the point of voting for democrats is when all they’re doing in “opposition” is confirming his nominees.
They won’t even do the bare minimum. Obstruction. They won’t even obstruct. Fuck them and fuck you too. They’re not an opposition party and voting for them would have the same outcome.
