There’s a certain level of ignorance and mental gymnastics you must achieve before you start siding with those who truly do not give a fuck about you as a human- you’re just a vessel in which they can pass down the message they choose to give.
They are so afraid of you realizing there are politicians who can and actually want to make your life better and not just collect checks from lobbyists and corporations.
James Talarico: “Young people can’t afford to buy a home, but Jeff Bezos has 12. Young people can’t afford to fill up their gas tank, but Mark Zuckerberg is launching helicopters from his mega-yacht.

always “will never be me” until it does affect you.
Food, water, & shelter are human rights, not commodities or leverage.
Fucking everyone (yourself included) over because you want to “own the libs” has got to be the most backward, dumbass rhetoric to ever be normalized.
Obama gave trump an fully recovered and stable economy and he destroyed it
Biden gave trump an economy that was recovering faster than any other on earth, with the longest record of month to month jobs gains ever in history and, once again, he has destroyed it.
There’s no reason to not be a good person, treat everyone with the same respect you command, or include people of all identities in your day-to-day life. There’s a constant modern day struggle between loving thy neighbor and minding your own.
Emotions run wild especially in the face of adversity, but to resort to scapegoating a group of people for their identity is cowardly and should have never been an option in the first place.
