As I recently said to a friend: “I fucking hate being right.”

And he said “I fucking hate you being right.”

(he was never in disagreement, he just still had a sliver of hope)

      In many ways Dems were as bad as Trump this election. If they weren’t so greedy in their push rightward, they could’ve kept up the lesser evil schtick for at least a couple more elections.

      Unfortunately they decided to run a campaign further to the right than bush jr, exposing their whole ass in the process.

        Dems are more of the same, maybe a little better depending. Republicans are downright evil. Not sure how you can justify saying “Dems were as bad as Trump”

          You must not be black, or Latine, or native, or really any minority except white upper class lgbtq.

            I can assure you that Trump is far worse for all of those minorities than the Dems would be. See, for example, the push to end birth right citizenship and remove all forms of DEI. And this is not a surprise, it was a core campaign promise

          “Um, actually, sweatie, things CAN’T get any worse than they are now” was my ‘favorite’ line from those folk.

          Congrats, you’re feeling what others have felt for the past 50 years. Hopefully this means you’ll finally fucking abandon the status quo that has kept you incredibly privileged and safe compared to your fellow Americans.

          I’m sorry you’re mad you can’t profit off the oppression of others and you might have to do work for the first time in your life.

              You people have been dangling the same carrot for longer than the average American has been alive. It’s like you people forget Bill Clinton was the lesser evil compromise. So was Obama, so was hrc, so was Biden.

              If the US falls to fascism good, maybe you people will wake up. If not, and it’s absolutely not anymore fascist now than it was 5 or a hundred years ago, then in 2026 and 2028 Dems will still lose if they keep trying to blame everyone but their own shitty policies for their losses.

              To your propaganda about being better off than other countries, that has never been true, it’s still not now.

                  As someone that’s been lucky enough to live outside the US most of my life, any country in the EU would require decades of economic depression to reach the disgrace that is the US cost of living vs income.

                    The ultra right is popping up all over Europe, in case you haven’t noticed. No decades were needed, but you probably think we’ve never left fascism since a hundred years or so.
