This might be fake, but I have a neighbor like this.
She’s been freaking out about groceries, the price of her meds going up, now losing her insurance.
I’ve helped her out a lot more than any orange has the last few months, yet she still spouts about how great he is. Although now with much less enthusiasm, and if you don’t put trumps name in the conversation she sort of comes back to reality a little and can realize that a bill gutting social safety nets to give the 1% a huge tax cut isn’t a fair deal.
yeah i was gonna link the image but thought it’d be an obvious enough reference.
the difference is latinos are born that way. nazis choose to be shitty people. saying you flippantly dont care is okay in only one of these scenarios, take a guess on which.
you and the (probably fake) twitter post demonstrate the most important part of US politics:
It’s about making sure the right people suffer. Chuds vote for Trump not because they like him particularly, but because it upsets the liberal in their life. When there are consequences, it’s not the role of liberals to meet that suffering with a mutually positive vision for the future, but instead to point and go ner ner you deserve it! And the next time Democrats are in control, it’s the liberals duty to ignore all the longstanding problems and suffering that has continued through every administration, and instead point to the stock market and say But the economy is actually good dummy!
And the most important thing is that we never expect our government to do anything but dole out suffering to this or that group of people.
refusing to aid and abet fascists in my community has nothing to do with the government’s decisions on who to hurt or help, it’s a personal choice. something most americans seem to have forgotten how to do, which is the real most important part of american politics.
i don’t disagree with the sentiment, but the context you bring it up in is sussy.
A person’s actions make them what they are. If this neighbor is calling ICE on people, sure yeah they’re a fascist.
But if all this lady did was vote for Trump, that’s not really enough. That’s barley one action, from over half a year ago. Less than that, if its not even in a swing state. If people are showing regret after seeing whats been happening, fuck I don’t know maybe you grow a bigger coalition with honey than with vinegar.
Voting for Trump is plenty. Make Trumpists suffer. The warning signs were all there. He ran a tabloid style ad talking about transgender surgeries in prison. That’s how desperate they were to fearmonger. They said immigrants were eating people’s cats and dogs. And 77 million people gladly lined up to vote for that naked hatred.
Fuck Trump voters. Hope they choke on their next meal.
Yes yes, so cathartic to imagine. But that’s all it is.
Momentary catharsis. You can’t build anything out of it, cus if you did, it’s ultimately just, “round up all the bad people who disagree with me, let them die, and then everything will be better!” and oops, that’s just what Trump is doing
So what you’re saying is that there will be massive negative consequences for the actions of Trump and his goons?
Or are you saying that progressives wouldn’t be able to do the same thing and that we have to be docile and empathetic to their stupidity and cruelty?
Because it seems to me that there is no possibility of consequences for the Trump administration or for conservatives in general and that this is a roadmap that proves that if they get power like this again there will be, once again, nothing to stop them.

It’s a cult.
stop helping her or anyone like her.
let them live with the consequences of their actions, at fucking least. i could give less of a shit. i don’t care, do you?
“waaaah i voted for hitler and now he’s taking away my medicine waAAAAH”
it’s like, the most narcissistic take bc these people are patently incapable of empathy or critical thinking.
Oh hey look! You are twinsies with Melania Trump
