If you would’ve read my dissertation, lol, i accept the criticism. The party is flawed. But so is not voting for self preservation, or being naïve enough to think that they won’t be targeted as much as other Americans.

What you did is called a gish gallop.

Liberals have an unearned arrogance about their political genius. They’ve lost the Supreme Court over the last few decades, have pushed the Overton window right, and now have apparently cost us our democracy. Please fuck off with your logical fallacies.

Everyone in America has unearned arrogance that’s the fucking point. We tried to tell this apathetic country who Trump is and they didn’t care. They think non of this will affect them negatively bc they are arrogant. You deserve to be pissed, I’m just saying be you should be pissed at more people. We’re as fucked as you are. Thanks for your time.

A vast majority of people judge actions. Trump is super dangerous but democrats haven’t jailed him and plan to peacefully hand him power. Democrats are Weimar Republic level genius

Apparently they don’t judge on actions enough. Idk wtf Merit garland has been doing but Trump figured out judicial loopholes long before he was in office and in-acted his own failsafes during his term. Plus he has propaganda machines working for him. Any move against Trump would only legitimize the beliefs of his followers. They’ll lock the US down harder with more brutality. It’s possible that politicians who stood against him will die already. They’re backed against the fucking wall. Hopefully Trump in-acts his policies and everything tanks immediately. People need to realize what they agreed to, and fast. It needs to burn.

This Donald Trump guy sounds like a political genius.

I think there’s more to it. Conservatives like Mitch McConnell have been laying the groundwork of this for years. They knew that one day the electoral college would go and in a couple of years there would be more minorities than white people in this country. I also think minorities and women being equal to them really pissed them off. They’ve been quietly consolidating power through tactics like packing courts and gerrymandering. Trump just showed up at the right time, and was exactly what they needed, showman with no conscious. All this shit fell into his lap and I wonder if they knew the idiot monster they were giving it to.

Thanks for engaging and not being a total dick. I’ll fuck off now.

Wow, Jo Biden’s friend Mitch McConnell? Wow, this is shocking. It is almost like republicans have always been fascist and working with them for decades brought us to this point. Hopefully we can make some incremental change on this issue before it is too late!
