      Without being “overly fair” to these weirdos (the drawn cp tax folder fans) republicans were, perhaps still are(?), explicitly talking about literally invading Mexico to “bomb the cartel.”

      Here’s just one article of many

      I never took them saying that stuff, above, as the same as bombing like asylum seekers or agricultural migrants, etc. They would love to do both, but they are technically different things under the umbrella of “hoggery”

      Btw that article is fucking insane. The fact it exists, the fact that the people take these statements seriously and don’t say “we would disobey that obviously moronic and illegal command and instead arrest any dumbass who tried to do it.” It’s just literally insane. I am forced to self-censor further feelings.

    Aren’t blue states criminalizing homelessness right now? Aren’t trans rights being eroded under Biden right now? Didn’t roe v wade get over turned recently? Do they think Harris is going to give a fuck if she wins and roll all that shit back? This meme is disgusting, holy shit.

    Ok, genociding Gazans en mass might be bad, but attacking our nebulous, very poorly defined democracy? That’s where I draw the line kiddo!

    The kind of people who believe the US is a democracy, yet simultaneously believe they are being ruled by varying degrees of evil and that the only time the people should get consulted is once every 2-4 years, at which point they should panic and take all of the responsibility for what was done by other people during the time they were sleepwalking through politics.

    That is a part I’ve been mulling over lately, the extent to which people are expected to take responsibility for so many things the system, as violently enforced, says they have almost no control over, while also being told to fuck off if they want anything specific from the system that differs from what the elites want.

    It makes no sense. Regular people are either responsible or they aren’t, they have power or they don’t. And the evidence shows that the policy-making has little to do with what regular people in the US want. So why do people keep getting taken for a ride with the idea they’re in control if only they’d vote the correct way once every 2-4 years. People have got to admit the reality to themselves and stop expending so much energy for a facade.
