    I remember when I was the only person in a group that thought trump would win. The people were too angry for a clinton I said. But they didn't listen.

      I remember having acquaintances tell me how I was bad for breathing a Trump presidency into existence. I was like I don't want it, but what I want doesn't matter since he's gonna win. This was back in July of 2016.

        "Breathing something into existence" is one of the most lib concepts imaginable, like yeah, I know they don't actually literally believe that, but what they mean is to not talk about bad things that might happen because that's uncomfy. That's at least two types out of Combat Liberalism right there

        They always manage to find a way to blame us for their system failing

      Lots of people were fearfully saying that. But Hillary wouldn't listen. The Democrat committees in PA, WI, MI were screaming for help in the weeks leading up to the election. Hillary had to fly in and hold rallies! There was a real chance she could lose these states!

      But no, she did nothing. She was going to win without them. She was going to show the working class in these rust belt states that she could win without them, she was going to spike the football in their faces. She was going to win with the Obama coalition: women and minorities, and old white men who got screwed by globalization could go fuck themselves.
