    Jesus Christ

    I know they do this every time but my God is it revolting. And they're somehow surprised that we don't vote for their people? We are poles apart

    Libs before the election: "We must stop Trump because he will hurt minorities and the marginalised! 😱"

    Libs after the election: "Now that Trump won it's time to hurt minorities and the marginalised! 👹"

      They'll just direct their anger at the vulnerable and blame the mexicans and black men... you know, because they are the opposite of republicans.

        I have seen people trying to organise boycotts against Muslim owned businesses in retaliation for maybe not voting for Harris.

        And they want us to believe they are totally the caring non-racist side.

    Was the other party gonna give them free healthcare and abolish documentation requirements for immigrants?

      It seems like those people want to be racist, they just wait for a convenient excuse and social approval to do it. It's very telling. Imagine if real Nazis were actually elected, all those libs would be like "Oh you chose the Nazis? Well I'm gonna out-Nazi the Nazis so you get what you voted for!"

    These people never cared about the disadvantaged. It's all a performative holier-than-thou veneer easily broken to reveal the reactionary underneath.

    Scratch something, something something... kill me.

    The thing that pisses me off about these hashtag girlboss k-hives stans is their deep-seated unseriousness. They do not mean anything they say other than "orange man bad" and "vote blue no matter who." The MOMENT the rubber hits the road, they will sell other people's rights for the impression of their own interests being safeguarded. They will make a bunch of noise about racial justice, no human is illegal, et cetera, but the instant they feel Mexicans aren't useful anymore, they drop all pretense and go right to the Final Solution. What the fuck?

    Not even report undocumented people who voted for Trump, report innocent people for the crime of being related to somebody who voted for Trump.

    "If the republicans won't deport Mexican families, I WILL"

    Says a lot about their confidence in Trump actually doing the same. Shit is always projection, isn't it...

        I read Project 2025 as both a scare tactic and continuation of existing policy. If so, then yeah, it only exists in the media as a whip to get voters to show up for them. There was no material policy opposition.

          All the research I've done on Project 2025 has led me to the conclusion that it doesn't exist. Not because people aren't trying to push these things but because as the policy exists I can't imagine who benefits from it. Ban social security, medicaid and AFC and all you have are a bunch of pissed off poor and old people. Federally ban abortion and all kinds of maternity benefits, then the situation doesn't really change, and then some of the shit is just frivilous. A porn ban? A video game ban? There'll be riots in the streets.

            It really is absurd, it's just "evil for evil's sake" saturday morning cartoon villainy. I'm sure most republicans want to get rid of basic human rights as much as possible, but they do so because they profit off of it, not because they just like being evil. I guess it is the end result of Marvel movie brain and its consequences.

              That's all I'm getting at. Even the most evil political decisions have some kind of monetary gain behind them, there's no money in civil unrest.

            Biden has always been against abortion, social security and all semblance of state welfare programs, so nothing new there.

            I do support the porn and video game ban, though as part of a larger grass-touching program. Any accelerationism that comes out of that is a bonus. ; )

    So... they hate the republicans for what they'll do to people so they want to punish those people by doing things republicans want to do to them? What level of football hooligan politics is this?
