    Fine, maybe they accept that there is nothing that can be done. Then I’d ask, how can you delude yourself into thinking a trump presidency will be no big deal? The answers gotta be they want to destabilize the government. If that’s true, I can’t see how they reconcile the human toll that comes with it.

    No, this is it exactly.

    In some of their comment history and they are praising China and other authoritarian countries. They don’t care that it is state capitalism producing billionaires, just everything about the US is bad so anything anti-US is good. They want the US to collapse so China can expand influence. They don’t care about the human toll or will excuse it as means justified by the end.

    Usually if they have that comment history you can get them to flip out just by stating their agenda. They do a long-ass theorypost in response. Also asking why Uyghur genocide is excusable will make them angry.

    The ones who are not foreign to the US or extremely privileged children who believe they will be on a college campus in perpetuity, sheltered from Donald by mommy and daddy’s money.

      Where I’m going with that is you can’t trade one human suffering for another. Especially with the moral absolution they espose. They live in a world where any time you want something done you go and hit the easy button. You want to stop the Genocide in Gaza; go hit the easy button or else the blood is on your hands.

      We get it. You are just shining a light on the darkness. To belabor the metaphor; a monument to fascism is be erected in your back yard and if we don’t stop it now it’s going to cast a shadow on the entire united states. Their answer to this? “Bring on the night.” Which makes it real rich when they say their shining a light.
