this whole idea that dems secured their place in america unopposed because "how could you vote republican anymore? they're so backwards, racist, homophobic, stupid + the boomers are dying", fucking stupid.

dems got lazy, dems got way too lazy.

people don't just watch fuck ups happen and think "well i guess i change my mind about abortion and queers :\"

this is like assuming democracts would've never won another election again because the confederates lost the civil war; a whole nation would not suffer collective amnesia of their political beliefs.

how cocky and confident do you have to be to assume that americans would just ditch conservatism entirely because of the housing crisis, the botched "war on terror" campaign, and the election of the first black president?

balance of power, compromise, and personal liberties.

the world isn’t black and white. the world isn’t fucking cartoons. the world isn’t what you see in your little social media bubble. the world is complex, big and scary place. if you can’t understand that, don’t vote at all.

left could’ve united and actually fucking voted, but if you voted for trump because “dems suck and leftists are annoying”— guess what? the democrats and the left hate themselves too.

the world isn’t just “people are annoying so i voted for this”, the world is economics, foreign relations, (2/3)

these people get no sympathy from me. he makes you feel bad because he is a lightning rod for critiques in your agenda, and you’re not gonna undo any of the damage he did on the off chance that neoconservativism finds itself center stage again in the republican party.

“oh god roe v wade is over turned and we’re becoming increasingly isolationist, federally funded services that help poor people are being destroyed, immigrants are being treated inhumanly and queer people are nervous again. like i WANTED all this, but not from that TRUMP guy”
