I saw something last might about this. How MAGAs are no longer gloating about "liberal tears" because liberals aren't crying.
The first time was a shock.
The second time everyone knew exactly what they were doing.
So liberals see this, rightly, as an assault on American values and the futures of their children and grandchildren.
They're not crying, they're cutting fascists out of their lives because now they've got to deal with the world the trolls made.
And so the trolls are all stuck with one another now, but the problem is their primary motivation was gloating over the Liberal Tears. So they're out of steam. And the MAGAs actually fucking hate *each other* too, so I'm the absence of snowflake tears they're quickly going to turn on one another.
When you elect fascism in my country you have told me who you are. You are full of hatred for the most vulnerable people in our society. You don't care about the environment or public health or education or human rights or the rule of law.
Fine, but we don't owe you a second more of our lives so you can feel better reveling in our sadness. We've gotta deal with the shitshow you've brought to our shores, so suck it up, buttercups.
A distraught friend yesterday boiled it down perfectly:
"If we won, we'd be celebrating how many of them would get healthcare, education, or student loans canceled. But they won, and they're celebrating how many of us they get to kill."
Tells the whole story, doesn't it?
I gotta admit being a millennial is really confusing right now. I did not expect we would be the best at seeing through disinfo & not getting radicalized
Watching Gen Z men veer right hits different for Millennials. We lived through Columbine, 9/11, the Iraq War, 2008 crash, 2016 election, covid, abortion bans, & now this. We watched institutions repeatedly fail us while older generations selfishly protected the status quo. 🧵1/
just know that if you voted for him you’re beneath me. i don’t respect you, i don’t like you, i don’t wanna hear anything you have to say about literally anything. you’re just terrible, uneducated, gullible children in the bodies of adults
You're not gonna die. Because tomorrow you will be alive. And you will make a pledge to get stronger every day. And you will keep that pledge. You will bleed through honor and discipline. And you will become so strong that they may never threaten you. You are going to do this.
Strangely, it's moments like this that I feel most lucky to be queer. I think about our elders. How hopeless they must have felt. How easy it would have been to give up. But they fought for the life I get to live today. What an insult it would be, to them, to succumb to despair
sleepy joe you’ve got two months. go crazy. eliminate all student debt. legalize marijuana. make tampons and condoms free. ban cybertrucks. shit in the oval office’s air vent. kidnap barron. the world is your oyster buddy
Doesn't need repeating. It should be clear.
If you voted for that man, block me, don't bother to interact with me, don't DM me, don't speak to me, and don't even gaze in my direction.
Most importantly, don't come crying to me when your rights are taken away or infringed upon.
