15 million people, including large swaths of Democrats and progressives, sat their asses out this election and gave us this avoidable fight.
Yeah, you're on your own to fix your own mess, count me out
So you’re going to sit your ass out?
Yup. Didn't have my back in the most critical fight of our lives and let a convicted felon, rapist, and racist and all of his fellow cronies back in, creating this giant fucking mess where you, and before you go all crazy, it's the collective you, gave the criminal, rapist, racist party a huge ass mandate with a crushing popular vote victory.
And now after throwing a petulant tantrum, come out and ask for my help to fix this mess your guys created? You wanted to teach America and Democrat a lesson, well congratulations to those 15 million voters +70 million voters, lesson learned.
I've learned that this nation is not better than this. I've learned that MLK's warnings about allies are correct. I've learned that this nation isn't worth my effort. I've learned Americans as a whole are worse than what George Carlin said they were. You all collectively fucked around and you and I who did the work, get to find out.
Yup, going to join those Americans value that were exposed this election and sit my ass out, fix yourselves first, I'm tired of being asked to save fair weather allies while being told I'm not American enough.
To be fair, they legally cheated. I understand your way of thinking though.
Making a lot of assumptions about me but ok.
Sigh....
I wasn't before but I'm making assumptions now.
Are you leaving the country?
Wish I could. Looked last time Trump won, legal emigration is quite difficult if you're not rich. Didn't find a job that would sponsor and is a lot harder now with a more grown family. The only places I could more easily emigrate to, well they're less than ideal and is already what America has decided to become.
