YOU are speaking!

Have you made any poignant commentary on the recent election in the U.S.? Do you have a good response to liberals who are upset with the results or process of the election? Have you written or seen something as a comment reply/post that you think has standalone value? Did you see a new take or analysis you hadn’t previously considered?

Whether it’s a long idea with lots of context, or a short and sweet one liner, we want those thoughts aggregated here. This post is intended to be a resource for comrades to draw from when having actual discussions outside of Hexbear both online or IRL regarding the election.

Consider this a mini-effortpost aggregator. This is not for shitposts, but humor is completely acceptable if it helps make the point.

    There's some simple agitprop you can do especially on fearful libs, point out how various economic or progressive things didn't improve, for example personal econ situation remaining similar, hate crime going up etc, and point out wistful thinking is just that, action needs to be taken for improvement. Don't go deep into adventure-time just point out some things. This works on chuds if you mention how the supposed progressiveness of Obama wasn't really there and then the supposed econ improvements under Trump weren't of his creation (if spicy and they seem like the sort). Try to meet them with what they're familiar with.

    I did some agripop at work to poor randos that dared bring up politics and coworkers alike since my health beat me so soundly I couldn't even pretend to be 'detached nonpolitical', got no energy for that. I was really amused how a lot of basic econ concepts, the failure of lib progressiveness, some worker rights was alien to people. It was like people had just heard of it 200yrs ago shit. Overton window is so far right any actual left is some non-Euclidean geometry.
