      Gen X voted for Trump in greater numbers. We need to admit that half of Americans just fucking suck in general.

        Gen X was still knee deep in lead emissions.

        Also, both groups have had a stranglehold on mainstream media, normalizing their sociopathy for the next generations.

        For the record, less than a third of eligible voters voted for Trump.

          Fair enough, a third of Americans are fascists and a third are too beaten down or stupid to care.

            Honestly, as much as I’m grieved and angered by what the world is right now, I find it really hard to fault the average person for choosing ignorance in the face of the monstrous realities of everyday modernity. I know that things could be so much better, and I want them to see it too, and fight for it. (Thus why I made my account on slrpnk.net.)

            But, it feels unfair for me to expect something of them that they may be unequipped to handle mentally and/or emotionally. Perhaps I’m just too nice—and perhaps that’s the burden of having a big heart. Or perhaps I’m just too weak, and tough love would be more caring. I’m still figuring it out myself. 💔

            Possibly accurate.

        Half of Americans refused to vote for either genocidal maniac.

        I’m more worried about the other half, both Red & Blue MAGA, who wouldn’t even draw the line at genocide.
