Political Memes

i thought it was human nature for my paycheck to go to bomb apartment buildings several oceans away while my neighbors die of preventable diseases???? im confused

i have no narrative or conclusion here, just sharing a thing i found, Kelly seems maybe to be lying?

there’s record of a system being installed here. very bare in details, but only a decade ago. seems like a system could last that long right? idk it’s past my bedtime

Hm. My guess is Indiana.

Sending love ❤️ I truly hate to see would be-“progressives” laughing at the senseless deaths and violence just because some 30% of them voted a certain way.

It’s one of the ways that capital keeps the culture war lit, I find. Breed hatred and dehumanization for a people group while gleefully stripping that people group from self-determination at every opportunity.

There are absolutely decent people trapped here, but we’re legit outnumbered. It isn’t just gerrymandering or some shitty system at fault: the majority of southerners are just fucking evil.

This. I remember moving from a conservative area in a border state, to the South for a short time, and being absolutely floored by the things that were quite openly said and laughed about. And I was no wilting violet, I was already quite used to hearing vile shit.

"Every population is secretly filled with our allies!" is delusional.

As someone who relocated to the south after being born and raised outside the south, I can confirm that the majority of people here are truly fucking evil. This place is horrific.

i would love so hard some legislation that requires voting ids on contingency that independent local sources find that access to ids are hugely increased

which means it will never happen but hey a girl can dream

No. Hard stop NO. Ignorance is no longer an acceptable excuse. They all have access to the same internet as the rest of us and all have the ability to verify the things they see and hear. Most choose not to.

I'll accept gerrymandering and some other hard physical barriers but ignorance and lack of education is no longer acceptable.

So what you're saying is they can vote to fuck up the country and suppress other peoples freedoms. They can vote to instill pain fear and chaos in other peoples lives. But when the consequences of their vote bites them in the ass all of a sudden we need to have empathy and grace? Libs like you are why we are in this mess with fascism to begin with.

BS, unless they're illiterate. They voted for the disaster and worse yet, Project 2025. "It serves them right," and they can continue to eat shit.

So? When the Internet exists to easily see the proof of reality, they are not blameless for taking in lies

I lived in VA. From 2nd to 9th grade pre-internet. Now VA. Is South but it's not west va., Mississippi, or Tennessee south. Even back then, you could spend an afternoon in a library and alleviate yourself of a lot of bad information unintentionally just by looking up that information. I know because I did. I'd hear grownups around me say sketchy shit and look into it. It's even easier to do so now. Just the act of seeking clarity can bring some small pieces of enlightenment. A lot of people didn't bother then and wouldn't now.

What's happening is post-truth BS. People just choosing to believe whatever the fuck they want, often without any verification.

Are some people being led astray? Absolutely. But they're also allowing themselves to be. People have been trying to convince southerners (and others) for decades, of not a century, that they're being screwed over and the people they vote in are doing the screwing but many just flatly refuse to look into it at all and just keep going on blind faith. What happened to personal responsibility and self-agency? Not to mention that some people are just dumpster fires given human form and those people definitely deserve to reap what they sow.

I don't wish hardship on anyone but if a person continually brings hardship on themselves through their own, thoughts, votes, and actions, while ignoring all the warnings being handed out like candy at Halloween, I don't find it surprising that others feel less inclined to be sympathetic let alone empathetic with their plight.
