We all know the saying: scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds...

I expected to see a bunch of random strangers on social media complaining about the election and suddenly pretending to care about human dignity.

But it hurts to see family, friends, and trusted content creators going down pipelines not dissimilar to Red MAGA pipelines. For as much as they hate Trump supporters, liberals are becoming just like them.

There is one creator on TikTok named Seema R (@artlust) who I occasionally watched. I guess she has a career and education as an art museum curator. Occasionally she dips into political topics, and I never had any major issue with her thoughts on those.

I was going to share a specific video of hers from today, but it has been deleted in the past hour or two. She was practically foaming at the mouth about nonvoters, calling them anti-semites and mocking them for complaining about "gEnOcIdE" as if that is some childish complaint.

(Edit: Here's a video with a similar vibe as the deleted one: https://www.tiktok.com/@artlust/video/7435258288767290654)

The shock of this video gave me a huge sense of dread. I think the election of Trump finally set in, but more than that, I finally let go of some silly hope I had that Trump's re-election would wake up liberals and realize the commies were right. But from all appearances, the exact opposite is happening. Liberals are so fuckin mad about Trump that they're taking it out on the commies. It's going to be a nightmare for the next four years and I fear that America is far more defenseless to rabid fascism than I thought.

    Okay so I found the video I originally wanted to share. She didn't delete it, she just blocked me after I left some helpful comments

      The helpful comments I left were something to the effect of:

      • I couldn't find a non-Israeli source for "90% of Jews voted for Kamala"
      • Even if that statistic is accurate, it is coming from exit polls, and does not necessarily reflect all Jewish Americans (in particular it excludes those who stayed home)
      • She claims that we should listen to the Jews who "actually do something" and show up and vote for the lesser evil, but she is inconsistent by ignoring the many Muslims who either voted third party or didn't vote at all — as a form of activism

      "Did something"

      Uh no you lost the election. Voting for kamala turned out to be just as "performative" as the dems were blaming third party voters to be.
