The amount of comments I've seen from them the past few days about how they're wishing death on a portion of the country because the majority of people who can even vote, voted red is absurd. These are the very same people who can recognize the endless forms of voter disenfranchisement and pretend their part of the party that supports those exact people. Yeah, Texas is a dumbass state in a lot of ways, their power grid situation is really about as Texan as it gets, but it's also a "purple" state and it would be blue if it wasn't for gerrymandering and dozens of ways it screws over minority voters, all by design. How are they so gleeful about wishing folks who live there or other states freezing to death. Who do you think is the ones really suffering right now? The people who can afford to skip town and go stay at a hotel? Or the people putting on 6 different layers and burning every piece of fuel they can find that will burn?
Shit like that makes me have no hope sometimes, it's just so stupid. Have some fucking decency for once in their life. Not everything is red versus blue, they are no different than the reactionaries who crack jokes at California burning or Chicago going another weekend with a ton of shootings. What do they even get out of that shit? A quick laugh, and for what, to feel superior in some way you happen to live in a different part of the country when nothing bad happens? There is no hope for some people like that and they both pretend like they are the good ones cause they either have a BLM flag or a trump flag outside.
I mean that's exactly what libs will tell you if you tell them most of the people suffering in Texas are poor.
Only working class people are losing power. Richer areas have had no blackouts.
It's also what chuds say when they're talking about foreign countries.
Yeah, so it comes down to making some inference about people's intent. You can tell libs are primarily angry at Republicans here because a big part of Democratic politics is (justifiably) demonizing the GOP, and because you see no shortage of Twitter shots at Republican politicians. You can tell chuds aren't really serious when they say they hate China but not Chinese people because of the million other ways they're overtly racist.
There's plenty of real shit to criticize libs over -- we don't need to make reaching assumptions about their intentions.
Idk a huge amount of libs, especially rich libs, think that hicks in the flyover states brought their troubles down upon themselves by being ignorant republic ans. I hear that shit all the time.
