friendly reminder that the best case scenario over the coming years is that a lot of people say "I supported Trump but this isn't what I wanted at all" and when they do that it's gonna be really, really important that we say "welcome in," not "fuck you, we told you so"

Stop imposing this fucking sympathetic arm on the folks who are going to get hit the hardest. Yall expect them to do all your activism for you, and all they get in return is this toothless nonsense.

The problem has never been a lack of sympathy or caring on our end. We demonstrate the lengths of which we go, and the cost we’ll burden to help our fellow man.

At what point do they get held accountable for the shit they know they did?

^ This- if you're somebody who actively contributed to the situation we are in with your votes and rhetoric, there is no sympathy. You must make things right by your own actions and words. You must be brave enough to admit you were wrong and actively help others. You have to be part of the solution.

Also the fact that if roles were reversed, they wouldn't even entertain the idea of extending any courtesy to us. So why should we be expected to?

I’ve seen that people process social change in either one of two ways:
1) “bigoted thinking is bad and I must do better.”

2) “It’s no longer socially ok to pick on this person, I better look for an easier target.”

Sadly in my “normie” social media I’ve seen far to many so called allies pick #2

So when you bring up sympathy/caring, I do think we need more of that. Not for our enemies, but for ourselves. Hate is infectious. For example: when some conservative gets caught having gay sex, there’s some messed up homophobic shit in the comments coming from some otherwise left leaning dude-bro

It was easier to think about doing what she suggested 8 years ago or even 4 years ago. But now? Those people are going to have to figure shit out on their own or just not figure it out at all

Fuck these MAGA animals. They don't get any considerau or mercy for their decision to support a man so clearly evil.

I really think you just need to read a few more think pieces on what the fascists and homophobic feel, be really sympathetic to them, maybe just lay down and die, maybe then they'll finally be appeased enough to not be monsters.
