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.
im not trying to shame your comment or anything but for me if you are trans and you are feeling a lot more anxiety right tbh its not unfounded and i truly hope it doesnt get as bad as it has the possibility to.... so what im saying is if your liberal well off trans friends are freaking out a little i do have a lot of sympathy for them
i have sympathy for them, but theyre ultimately afraid of certain meds being taken away and a lot of poor trans people are already doing DIY. basically it just means these well off trans people are gonna need to DIY like the poors already do. so all these well off people think its the end of the world, but it really isnt, they just dont know everyones been building independent structures without them. and frankly, they shouldve been helping us build independently from the get go, being reliant on the cissies is a mistake.
true but i dont subscribe to the survivor bias political discourse
it sucking for others means we should working to lift up others, not being callous towards those who might lose things everyone should have basic access too. abandon this boomer mindset
? I'm helping them. Its not a boomer mindset, you're extrapolating
I'm just saying its a bit draining to deal with someone freaking out over an election when I know and regularly assist trans people living in ditches that have been failed by the ideologies these lib trans people espouse
