put all of your election posting here so it doesn't bother anyone else!
from @CoolerOpposide@hexbear.net:
For Agitprop purposes, I’m asking comrades to help aggregate any and all effortpost responses, critiques, or general thoughts that you have seen or written pertaining to yesterday’s U.S. election that you think have standalone value for discussion either online or IRL.
I made a post for that purpose here, and ideally it can be used not only for general discussion, but as a reference for well thought out responses in discussions about the election to save all of us some brainpower.
No shitposts please, as we’d like to highlight some comrades’ actual effort in constructing responses or analysis, but humor is 100% welcome to help make your point!
Liberal family said people need time to mourn. I said fuck that shit, if you couldn't expect the outcome then you're not informed enough. They said it's good to have optimism. I said it's delusion. Maybe I'm being too harsh but their reactions feel so performative
I'm much less responsive to all the weepy "We will PERSEVERE and SURVIVE despite the coming fascist hell!" shit this time around honestly, I've seen how these people talk about people being bombed far away and my sympathy for the libs, even the more nominally left-leaning ones, has waned to virtually nothing.
rev up your resistance hashtags, talk about how Trump isn't presidential and civil until he starts bombing Iran and they start clapping like seals, and leave me the fuck alone
Denial is the stage of grief you have before you're having a grief.
Do what I've been doing: tell them they should be celebrating that the genocide was not majority-endorsed. (Yes, this is also a backhanded way of telling them they did a bad.)
