    Yes, the voters suck, but that's all of them, not just the Trump ones. Every voter has been ignoring a genocide going on for the last year that their country is arming. That should've been the first sign that this country and the people in aren't good, that the people are selfish, that they are primed for fascism.

    You dont care about the Palestinians? Well the Trump voters don't care about their mothers, daughters, wives, immigrants, minorities, or trans people. It's the exact same strain of selfishness, just evolved, but it comes from that same seed. Sucks, doesn't it?

    when republicans lose elections they blame the system or the woke mind virus or immigrants

    when democrats lose elections they blame their own base

    thats the difference

      Chuds: Everybody I know loves Trump so the election must have been stolen. Damn you Soros/(((globalists)))/the Hollywood elite!

      Dems: Everybody knows they're worse so if you didn't come out to vote for us, fuck you. We'll be running the same strategy next election cycle btw, so hopefully outside conditions (like a pandemic or recession) make it work for us this time, otherwise we'll be blaming you even harder.

      I've never seen people change their tune so quickly and so completely as the time around Biden stepping down. One moment genocide Joe was fit as a fiddle, the next he was clearly unhealthy. (not that these chucklefucks would admit he was dead on arrival) Him strong down went from unthinkable and offensive to suggest to heroic yet predestined. Harris was the woman who left the race to avoid being embarrassed in her home state, but became the strongest candidate in history, best and only chance to beat the orange menace.

        I don't want to hear one more goddamn thing about Bolshevik party "groupthink" as an excuse for communism being bad. Clearly this is a feature of any political party involved in what it perceives to be existential struggle. The Republicans do it, the Democrats do it. A political party in panic will always do it

          It's always been projection we're the most asininely combative ideology in history. Half the reason Lenin shot everyone was because we couldn't collectively stop arguing long enough to remember to eat and the revolution was starving to death.

          Huh never realized it but this will be a great lesson in siege mentality if I ever have to explain communist states to people in the future.

          "That and fear panic you feel about losing your way of life if Trump takes over? Ya, that's the feel all these AES states feel, and even worse since the US has done it before to other similar states and keeps trying. You can see why they have one party or restrict press freedoms from right-wing or foreign sources or ban politicians who try to start coups now, right? Doesn't seem like such a bad idea now, does it?

    In case you're wondering just how much this guy sucks

    And calls from the progressive left for a cease-fire because there have been more Palestinian casualties than Israeli casualties is a bizarre false equivalency that would argue that the penalty for robbing a bank of $500 should be a $500 fine. Israel’s response to the Hamas attack is designed to prevent future attacks, not create a tit for tat that would promote a never-ending state of danger with a terrorist organization whose goal is to finish what Adolf Hitler started.

      True, the penalty for robbing a bank should be levelling the entire neighborhood the robbers lived in. The deaths of the neighbors is the robbers fault, because he was using them as human shields

        The fact that he brings up a hypothetical bank robbery for his god awful analogy just highlights why I fucking hate the human shields narrative

        No one would accept it if that excuse was used by cops who responded to a bank robbery even if the robbers were literally using people as human shields

        Anyone who's willing to shoot through a "human shield" is just a fucking murderer

        Like if I was in a situation where a genuinely bad guy was hiding behind a child I would simply not shoot at the child

          No they would, this is where the concept of "Stockholm Syndrome" comes from. There was a bank robbery in Stockholm. The robbers took hostages. The cops and government decided that killing eveyrone to save capitalism was a good idea. The hostages had to negotiate with the government on the robber's behalf to keep the government from killing everyone, and some of them actually became friends with the robbers.

          Afterwards a psychologist who never spoke to anyone involved decided the only explanation was, pardon my french, "Bitches be crazy" and shat out the idea that the women had fallen in love with their captors because of some incomprehensible mysogynist farting noises.

          Everyone forgot where the concept came from but the idea that stuck and now people believe that if hostages get released thinking their captors had good points it can be safely written off as a mental health problem.

        Ultimately we're trying to save all of these assholes. No one is born a liberal or a fascist, it took capitalism and imperialism and endless massacres and a massive hegemonic juggernaut of cultural propaganda to turn entire populations in to this. Remove the poisonous system they're drowning again and they're just normal people.
