    I mean… no. Unless you have a time machine stashed somewhere.

    This sent me to the archives to see the hordes of posts from left-leaning people saying they “couldn´t bring themselves” to vote for Biden or later Harris, let alone the outright tankies (who, by the way, are doing great at not posting about this or anything Trump-related lately).

    I am determined to minimize exposure to this stuff for as long as I can, but since it’s inescapable today, let me at least point out that this is America starting to toss and turn in the bed it made for itself. I have little empathy for it as a unit.

    And yeah, sure, I get that half the country didn’t vote for these idiots, but honestly it shouldn’t have been even close and at some point the rest of the planet has to cut ties and focus on building a post-America world. If you excuse us, we’ll be digging bunkers in Greenland, because apparently that’s a thing now.

      It is sad to see people say… If only more people would have been fine with genocide, then Trump wouldn’t have won. No, if Democrats had demanded that their cult leader stop supporting genocide then Trump would have lost.

        Case in point.

        Turns out, it doesn’t matter why he won or who you personally blame for it, the consequences will be the same. Those people who weren’t “fine with genocide” (which is an entirely fallacious argument, for the record), will now be “fine” with a whole bunch of other stuff whether they like it or not.

        And I do not care. Screw them specifically. If this guy does leave or die by 2029 and there’s anybody friendly left standing they can poke me then, we can compare notes on rebuilding post-fascism. In the meantime, I don’t want to hear it.

      The left are posting about Trump, just not where you right wingers can see. Look up the historical actions of liberals during fascist regimes, it’s not something compatible with left wing people living.

      Remember kids, liberals appointed Hitler to stop the communists.

        I was born just after the toppling of a fascist regime. My parents were both left wingers during the regime itself. I have voted for left wing parties my entire life, with some success because… you know, fascism in living memory is a hell of an incentive. You’ll find out.

        But no, please, by all means do tell me how it works, I’m very curious.

            I’m pretty sure that statement just made several history books in your vicinity spontaneously combust, but you should still try to see if you can find any of the remaining ones and take a peek inside.
