Its like everyone is in shock because the GOP is doing exactly what they said they would.
Don’t worry. For most of them when they start understanding that their very existence is seen as a burden, they’ll be happy to say “I’m sacrificing myself for America!”. And die forgotten in a gutter.
Brainwashing can go very far.
As long as others (e.g. brown people) have it worse, and their tribal mindset remains fueled by rhetoric that they are right and everyone else is woke, nothing will change.
This seems the wrong community for this. Probably would have fit better in one of the 4 billion us political groups.
When they are the ones dying on the streets from preventable diseases.
The idiots who voted for this thought it somehow wouldn’t apply to them
And not nearly enough of them will admit that they did it to themselves and learn from their mistake
That’s because the sort of people who vote against their own interests don’t grasp the idea of consequences. I’ve heard that science says we don’t fully understand consequences until a certain age. I’m becoming more and more convinced that some people just never develop a sense of consequences. These people really need to be studied.
that’s cuz all those dumbass lazy Americans have become too complacent to do anything for ourselves, and the people that run for office know that and took advantage and now they’re exploiting everything
But that is you guys. The left. You’re the lazy ones. The right got out there everyday and made new messages and spread their view online and in person. The left retreated and used stale tactics that only worked in the 70s.
It’s reciprocal. I want them to die.

All that matters to them is that brown people get oppressed, queer people are pushed back into the shadows, women don’t get any rights, etc.
They only marginally care about things like not starving due to being fucked over by the rich.
Notwithstanding all of the points already made in the comments here, a large number of these people are informed (I use that term loosely) wholly by right-wing media sources anyway, which happily lie to them about the causes of their problems as well as the effects of what their politicians are doing. In short, they don’t believe GOP policies are personally harmful to them because Fox news is constantly blaring at them that the price of eggs and gasoline, why they can’t find a doctor, why they haven’t had a raise in 20 years, etc. is actually all Joe Biden/Kamala Harris/AOC/Obama’s fault, or because the Mexicans up the street stole all the jobs, or whatever.
These people live in a constant roiling, seething ocean of propaganda largely comprised of utter falsehoods that are nevertheless plausible sounding to the uneducated, and they believe all of it.
Think of how stupid the average conservative is, then remember: half of them are stupider than that.
