Close to 90 million stayed home too. They didn't want him in there either but couldn't bring themselves to vote for either candidate. 74.4 million voted for harris so that's roughly 164 million people that didn't want him in there.
not making nice with the people that I told exactly what would happen and they didn't care. Especially my cousin who is a single mother of a couple kids with no father supporting her. She was told and somehow she still thinks things are going well. You really can't fix this level of stupid.
No room for niceties when we are uncertain if our institutions will endure. We told them this guy was bad news for eight years straight. They aren't babies.
Whenever--if ever--the smoke clears, you'll be shocked at how few have regrets. Black and brown people have made nice with racists for 100s of years but now avowed racists are in power and on a retribution tour. Apparently, we haven't been decimated enough and now they mean business. Fuck 'em.
Only my race says shit like this. People. 250 years of white forgiving white for crimes against humanity did not stop you, your damn friends, and family from turning out racist as shit.
Too many people are disconnected from politics and get their media from unreliable right-wing sources. Even some people who voted for Trump didn't vote for THIS. When they come out of this cult, it's in OUR best interest to show them how to join the fight against fascism. We don't have to be besties
They won't be on my Christmas card list, but, unlike Trump, I will not be vengeful or vindictive toward those who decide to wake up and fly right after previously opposing me.
If it helps make people stop supporting Trump and builds solidarity against him, it is something to consider. Probably not everyone is like that, but chipping away his supporters is a start.
I will not. And frankly, the snarky responses to the leopards eating their faces is the only thing getting me through this besides smoking a ton of weed.
If your enemy’s forces surrender and you put their heads on pikes on your outer walls, you’re not going to encourage more surrenders. You don’t have to be pals, but “I told you so, asshole” is an ego stroke, not a strategy.
I get why people think "friendly and welcoming" is the right tactic, but it downplays the consequences of the person's actions. Be empathetic but be honest, too. Regret is not remorse. We need them to take personal responsibility for making things right or else they're just Germans in Argentina.
Who made it QUITE CLEAR that he aspired to be that. "But we just liked him for his casual racism and misogyny! As a cishet white Christian male, I never thought he would do anything to harm ME!" If you aren't a billionaire, Mango Mussolini is going to cause you pain.
It’s a good reminder. My inclination is to launch into “See??” and “I told you so!!” Kindness is paramount for anyone who reflects and changes their viewpoint. Thank you.
