“If there’s a Nazi at the table and 10 other people sitting there talking to him, you got a table with 11 Nazis.”
*”A man is known by the company he keeps.”*
“You might not be a nazi yet you wear the uniform”
I suppose I’m prepared to get downvoted into oblivion for this….BUT….
The amount of people that voted for the Orange monster this time around needs to be looked at…..you can’t label everyone that voted for him a nazi.
Most people are not deep into politics….they just want to feed their families and if you look back, what did the Dems to to help them achieve that goal?
Biden and the Dems did a shit ton for the country no doubt and I legitimately believe that….but its hard to elaborate on that for folks who aren’t tuned in.
I honestly think we should be working on outreach and messaging…
Sure, there are people will refuse to reached. Call those assholes nazis…..but if you can have a legitimate conversation with others….well then those are people that can still be reached.
“If you could just be normal. I would not even have a problem. Why make my life harder?”
it’s easy to be anti-trans because you don’t have to think too hard about it, but I can’t help but wonder if people might be more understanding if even just a few of them put some actual thought into it.
I mean, first I deferred to my therapist and other mental health professionals, they would know more than anyone else about this stuff, right?
and then I realized that I’ve never felt quite right in my own body (but couldn’t be bothered to make a change). and I doubt like hell I’m the only person who feels that way. 🤷♂️
Yep, associating with fascists is tacit acceptance.
I fucking hate it when people try the ol’ “you seriously would hate someone because of their political beliefs?” Yes. If your beliefs consist of saying trans people shouldn’t exist, gay people need to go back into the closet, and women have no autonomy over their own bodies, your political beliefs are shit and you should be called out for it.
I’m a Bernie man. I’m not willing to write off anyone who is capable of reason. Not everyone is as politically educated as others and that’s by design. 60 hrs of hard labor is incredibly common for almost everyone i know who isn’t white collar. They struggle to make their bills and feed their families and don’t have the time to deep dive every single thing. Or even some of them. Again, it’s by design. Keep your workforce tired and on edge and when can they have the time to do all the research?
The media killed us all. Allowing billionaires control of it took away the one area people with no time could go to for reliable information.
How is it surprising that this is the outcome?
We need a new system. This one’s clearly broken and for sale. That being said I’m not going to hate my fellow poors. I won’t fault people for wanting what’s best. They were lied to but most did it for good reasons. Not out of hate or owning the libs. That’s more media bs to divide all of us.
Recognizing this is important. They want us to focus on hating our neighbors instead of the real enemies. And it’s clearly working.
Sincerely,
A sad Bernie Man.
I’m naturally distrusting of the political opinions of chameleons.
dumped a friend of over 10 years cus of repukes – she like de satan and was going to move to florida so buh bye – 10 years just gone and not one shred of guilt
I normally don’t like stuff like this. I do not need my friends to think or have different thoughts than i do. I like having my ideas challenged. But when someone actively goes against mine and my loved ones right to freedom, safety, and to be honest, life. I can’t have these people in my life. This is not being overly reactive, this is real. These people will turn you into authorities if they think it will be good for them, they will allow others to be beaten if not even join in the beating. They want the “other” dead.
After years of betrayal, I ended my relations with my parents. I will never go back.
“with us or against us” is a fallacy, false dilemma
Come come come chameleon we know that you change colours, don’t fool us.
Right wingers have this weird and stupid ability to hate huge swaths of the population for dumb reasons and then make exceptions for almost all members of that population that they know. The classic “I can’t be a racist just because I vote to hurt Black people – I have a Black friend” nonsense. Then, they get confused when the “good ones” they know kick them to the curb. They really see nothing wrong with the logic of claiming to be friends with somebody while voting constantly to hurt that person as much as possible.
It’s sad how political differences use to be strictly about difference in beliefs political beliefs & policies that we think is good for our country and nothing more and it’s nothing personal. We can still be friends with others of opposing political views. De It was a normal thing. But Trump comes in and injects social division and hate into our personal daily lives, thats driven on the difference in culture and race eventually making it the centerpiece of political difference. It’s apparent these feelings were suppressed and gradually being phased out due to our socio-culture evolving for the better. But Trump comes in to tell them, that is ok and pulls it all out to make it explode like a wildfire. Everything regresses in that front and likely will for several years.
Just imagine sports fans of several rivalry football teams, suddenly one sports team mandates only white players and white fans can attend their games. Another team does the same but with black players. Another team mandates only Christians can. 4th team mandates only people with ponytails can attend their games. Eventually the sport of football became a pure war about race, religion and ponytails, not about football. What sad political scene we are in now.
