Can't wait until they and their families start being threatened with deportation and put on watchlists.

That'll show the Democrats.

Anyone who voted for Trump gets zero empathy from me.

If they already know leopards ate their face and have the courage to recognize they fucked up this early on, they are your potential allies, don't alienate them.

I don't know. They haven't just fucked themselves; they fucked a bunch of Palestinians in Palestine who didn't get to vote. They fucked every US woman. They fucked every LGBTQ person. They fucked Ukraine. I'm having a hard time feeling sympathy or common ground. It was clear to anyone paying any attention Trump was pro-genocide.

TBF, this isn't all in their shoulders. Kamala lost the popular vote by 2 million votes. America fucked itself. But these folks contributed, and you know what? I don't need them as allies, because they can keep fucking themselves like this until there are no more left that are stupid enough to make these mistakes again.

All those blue collar fucks who are losing their Christmas bonuses to tarrifs, whose unions will be castrated until they're living in company towns again? Good. Don't need them, either. They're doing it to themselves, despite our best efforts. In tired of fighting for them just to have them fight back. Let them rot in their own filth. At this point, the only reason I care is because of the innocents who are getting fucked with them for their shit-brain decisions.

You, Sir, are doing it right

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

But there are easy solutions for these problems now getting to the point where shit will hit the fan uninterruptedly and overwhelmingly: blame the Democrats.

There. Problems solved :D

[–] [email protected] 21 points 7 months ago

I would if Trump had lied to them and said he would stop Israel.

They knew exactly who and what they were voting for. They lied to themselves and those around them.

ZERO EMPATHY FOR EVERYONE WHO HELPED TRUMP WIN.

I will enjoy every moment the leopards eat faces. I don't need or want allies who are this blinded or selfish when it matters the most.

Too little, too late.

Votes are over. They picked Trump. There's nothing to alienate.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (2 children)

Well, you can always use more support, especially as things turn as dark as we expect.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago

You guys need Antifa. And lots of it. There is nothing better to stop a Nazi Mob than a Nazi Hunting Mob.

Remind me again who made the decision to go down this path as a country? I have 76 394 853 suggestions.

They are an ideological group generally aligned to the GOP but are with the Dems because the GOPs eschatology supports the other team. However, fundie Christians and Muslims alike want to have moral authority and control over people.

They’re not a voting block that’s with us for any reason except we know the least about fundamentalism and seem to have less of a boner for religious Zionism.

Crazy that ex-Muslims tend to flock to the right because the left has its head up its ass and racialises Islam as hard of not harder than the right wing. Racializing Islam is actually part and parcel of modern political Islam as well, and any “liberal” or “leftist” pushing that narrative is a useful idiot.

"No way to prevent this," says ~~only nation in the world where this regularly happens~~ people who voted for exactly this

To be fair, they probably would have been upset by Harris's pro-israel cabinet picks too.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 7 months ago (3 children)

Oh look it's libs shifting the blame off themselves and onto minorities. AGAIN

[–] [email protected] 10 points 7 months ago (1 children)

How is that even relevant here

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Because whites overwhelmingly voted for Trump, why not ask them?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Nice, but got any graphics from this election, or even decade, Grandma?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Sorry, I make mistakes too. But the point still stands.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Gotta step up the propaganda game, there boss. You're age is showin'.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

Way to deflect from the content of the article, whippersnapper.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

I'm not arguing about the merit of your article. White people voted for trump. Doi. I'm pointing out that your ctrl+c ctrl+v is off. C'mon. You're pasting shit about Clinton comrade. I'm just worried you're gonna get replaced by a younger, more attentive whippersnapper.

ok boomer

As a minority who is usually on your side: no, fuck off. This had a very real and tangible effect on the election. Trump had increased support from every minority group and that includes a good chunk of my extended family.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

Ah, yes. Blame the people who voted against Trump for the people who voted for Trump. Fucking genius.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

It's almost always a bad idea to do something in anger. That goes for voting, as well.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

Good.
