Funny, I've been watching conservatives do exactly that for decades now while the rest of us try to reason with them. I grew up with Limbaugh convincing my dad that liberalism is a mental disorder and Clinton won the election because women vote with their vaginas. They've done nothing but get more disgusting, hateful, and bigoted since.
"Oh boo hoo they were conned and manipulated" How come I can consume the exact same media as them and see through the bullshit? I'm really supposed to feel sorry for them? We've been telling them for decades they're being lied to; they enjoy it.
I'm done. Fuck every single one of these fascist-enabling pieces of shit AND their fucking feelings. I'm not gonna cry when some fucking dipshit who has the exact same access to information that I do and can't be bothered to verify their news sources gets exactly what they voted for.
Cool. Continue to abandon your solidarity and exacerbate the problem.
I never said Republicans weren't doing that. I'm saying you're no better by sinking to their level.
40 years of 'not sinking to their level' brought us fascism so maybe give up that old wives tale and address the reality we live in now, hm?
