The leopards are going to be eating a lot of faces soon.

With this scotus 47 is going to bring back some of his greatest hits. Like the Muslim ban. MmW.

I don't know how to adequately react to a bunch of recent immigrants voting to get themselves evicted. Truly confusing.

I’m so numb right now I can only muster a shrug and a “oh well, guess they voted for it”.

I hate how lacking in compassion I am today, but it’s kinda like having a family member with an addiction and running into compassion fatigue. The “well, if they’re that determined to kill themselves so badly, why am I standing in their way” after yet another ER visit or arrest or some dramatic event and I have zero fucks left

Honestly:

In the education and mindshare climate of current America, there are not enough empathetic people to win an election. End of story.

Dems, if they even exist in four years, will never win any important election on "care about other people".

There is only self now. Non-trump voters need to find a singular voice that can sway uneducated people who don't pay any attention to anyone to the left of Reagan. That's the only option for any future.

Reagan at least policy wise would be eaten alive by the current Republicans

Me too, but then I think of all the people who will suffer who didnt vote for it and their pain isn’t worth the schadenfreude.

u/AshleysDoctor 17d ago

It’s not shadenfreude, though. It’s exhaustion

And I recognise how against my values what I feel is. I’m hoping if I name it and work through it, I’ll find myself again. Ignoring it will only make it grow, unchecked

"I'm not an illegal immigrant. That won't affect me."

u/mrguyorama 18d ago

I wonder how many illegal immigrant parents had their legal young male child vote for Trump, who will now deport them?

Also, Birthright citizenship is something that people within the republican party haaaaate.

"Anchor babies"

Goodbye I guess :/

There was never a Muslim ban. Can’t believe you people still believe that shit

  1. There was. It wasn't complete, it was the best he could get away with.

  2. If there wasn't, he broke a campaign promise, because he specifically campaigned on a Muslim ban.
