You got me bro.

I'm a secret Trump shill encouraging local mutual aid and how the Democrats could/should have won.

Hey, if you get your way me and everybody like me won't be a problem anymore, grats on the dub.

Someone who hasn't lived in a red state as a trans person or with a trans loved one.

Lol love the smoke. I voted for Harris, even encouraged my irl friends and family to. I just think that tacking to the right is insane.

Cheney's the one I happened to hear the most about and they're all shitbirds, but go off about the misogyny.

I'm the parent of a trans kid, I'm at a real risk of being chased out of the fucking country right now or maybe just thrown in jail, based on the chitchat around the watercooler now by both Dems and Rs. I've already been chased out of one home by bigots empowered by these pieces of shit.

I absolutely didn't want Trump to win. His win emboldens right wing terrorists across the country.

My criticisms are genuine and valid. I'm describing to you the things that put people off with less to lose than people like me and the people I love. The Democratic party deserves to burn for this, but instead they'll all be #resistance and send out more fundraising texts while the rest of us suffer. The lesson they'll most likely take from this is the one people like you seem to be taking "we can't run a woman because misogyny and we need to start burning leftists because we're not right wing enough."

I'm definitely not saying you should blame yourself for not phone banking or door knocking enough or something.

The system that we live in is just perfect for making us feel like this. And the people in charge are not incentivized to change it for us.

The only way we fix it is by trying to make things better locally, from the bottom up.

You're not wrong about having the physical and temporal capacity to inform yourself regardless, but you've also got to have the mental and emotional capacity as well.

I'm sure you're aware of how exhausting it is to live here, even just having nominal exposure to all the campaign ads and the outrage bait "news." That's before all the regular stress of living here with a family, all of your material conditions. Is my car gonna break down? If it does will I get fired? How can I afford my kids soccer cleats? Will the babysitter cancel on me for my extra shift?

If the only exposure you got for the election that you paid attention to because it was "entertainment" was a "funny" Joe Rogan clip your buddy sent you of the Trump interview it'd be real easy to be like "well, we made it through the first one, and at least he acknowledges that things are more expensive..."

Obviously if you're tuned in, you know that's a bullshit front. But if you don't have the capacity to be tuned in because fucking everything is designed to stress you out and extract what little money you have... Well, here we are.

This is absolutely untrue.

Dems should have just used more charts that show how actually you're not paying more for groceries and making less money adjusted for inflation.

They also should have just had Kamala drop out and replaced her with Liz Cheney, that would have gotten the moderate vote.

They also should have shamed the people who don't like funding wholesale slaughter around the world more, these are jobs we're talking about here!

It's so easy to shit on voters for not being informed.

Dems had $1B to reach this lady with a message about how they were going to improve her material conditions and they couldn't or wouldn't. At least they got that sweet sweet Cheney fan vote.

When people have to work constantly or their kids will starve and it just keeps getting worse wtf is anyone supposed to do?

"You didn't do your homework, so you deserve to have your life destroyed lol"

The system is fucked. Well and truly.

The fuck did DQ ever do to you?

"The big we" isn't some amorphous blob online or something organized by some national group. It's your trusted friends, family, and neighbors.

No, nothing was ever stopping political or business swamp creatures. That ship really sailed in 1980. Or in the early 1900s. Or in 1860. Or in 1776. Take your pick.

Decentralized groups of people just trying to help each other out is how we rise out disasters when there is no help coming. Whether that disaster is natural or man-made. It doesn't really matter whether or not you believe it, it's empirically evident.

Cybertruck prototype testing.

If you're looking to the drudge report for resistance, you were always going to end up disappointed.

The resistance is out your front door. Touch grass. Get involved in local mutual aid groups, find the people doing good things in your community and help them.

NO ONE IS COMING TO SAVE YOU. WE PROTECT US.

They're getting used to the taste for when the only thing that's safe to eat is boiled shoe leather because the FDA and the USDA have been completely eliminated.
