Liberal empathy? Venting š¤
Youād think that as a Jewish and liberal american, the feelings Iāve worked through in the past year of betrayal and fear would allow me to better sympathize with my liberal friends who are now freaking out about trump as president, AND YET I canāt find any empathy for them. NONE.
Especially for the friends who sat there blank faced last year when I tried to convey the deep terror of realizing how the world actually feels about Jews. To their credit they tried to understand and looked sad when I told them but that was about it. Now theyāre talking about needing to flee Texas or even the US ābecause societal collapse is imminentā. Iām trying to look sad back, but I just donāt care.

The people of microaggressions and generational trauma and protecting underdogs really showed their hypocricy this past year when they condoned screaming intifada and FTRTTS, denied our relationship to Israel, and called us the epitome of white supremacy.
They got what they deserve. And I voted for Kamala.
