Two things definitely cannot be bad at the same time

This is absolutely brilliant. I’m printing and framing this thread because my mind has been BLOWN.

I don’t think he can wish for shit anymore. That’ll happen when your life of hate leads to your death of hate.

You really showed me. I really showed how stupid I am by implying that not every American voted for this fascist.

What in the goddamned fuck

Ah yes, all. We ALL voted for trump and have no issue with him. ALL of us.

Context tho! He was simply saying that people are using words as WEAPONS! /s

The many downvotes is what I am referring to

Taking up for those douches doesn’t help anything either. There’s basically nothing we can do besides be informed and vote like we are. Which brings us back to my original point. If protests worked on this scale, they probably would have already. America is basically fucked and we fucked ourselves. I expect politicians to suck. But I don’t expect millions to choose country-suicide. Anything over 10% voting for this (or not against it) is extremely concerning. We’re SO far over that mark. And it would never happen if people were as educated as we think we are. All of this makes more sense when you realize some huge amount of adults are functionally illiterate. It’s so fucking sad and enraging how badly we’ve all been failed and failed ourselves.

Doesn’t make the voter behavior any less shitty

There’s a chaine of events here and you are choosing to ignore it.

No, that’s what protest voters did and I will always hate them for doing that. I will never, like you, defend that willful ignorance. The only excuse for it would be stupidity and that doesn’t do anything for me or anyone else.

But the backlash to my comment is based on a strawman argument because people cannot imagine you can partially agree with a caveat. The implication of the downvotes here is that if I would say this, I must be a secret fascist. There’s absolutely nothing objectively incorrect about what I said, in context or not. The only reason context would matter here is if you make assumptions about why I made this comment, and that requires a leap. Which apparently, people are very happy to make.

Thank you for this response.

Didn’t Christian nationalism literally come from Britain? It didn’t spontaneously form from the ether in America. A bunch of brits sailed to America to slaughter native Americans because God “wanted them to”, a few generations pass and then here we are. And no I’m obviously not saying it is actually this simple (“Americans = brits + time”), but the headline seems dumb to me too.

do not for even a moment to allow yourselves to consider that you may be acting “a bit rash.”

Fighting fascism doesn’t mean destroying your ability to self reflect or question yourself. That’s a ridiculous way to think about anything.

Edit: apparently I’m wrong. The guys who never allow themselves to question their actions or thoughts are typically known as the good guys.

That was a 7 month old comment you bizarre spectacle-wannabe.

If you’re trans, absolutely.

Literally what the dems did last election, and they orchestrated the situation instead of just reacting to it.

Interesting that when a small group of people do something, it’s horrifying but if millions do it you’re okay with it.

the “bad” decision is the actual moral one

It only would have been moral if even the simplest of minds couldn’t have foreseen what their action would lead to. They could have but refused to, thereby accepting full culpability.

There will never be a world in which I can agree that people sacrificing everyone’s future, while literally making worse the issue they claim to be prioritizing, is acceptable. It’s myopic and idiotic to do that, and saying so implies nothing more than exactly that.

I’m inclined to believe that at least half the people spreading this message aren’t that stupid though, but rather bad actors, oftentimes foreign-paid, bad actors.
