I have a close friend that I’ve known 20 years who became obsessed with right-wing politics. even though I’m liberal, I don’t make it my entire personality and life. But anyway… I was talking to him this morning casually like friends do.
Me: “Hey man. Do you have off today for MLK day?” Friend: “No, I have to work today.” Me: “Damn, sorry to hear. I have off today since it’s a company holiday.” Friend: “Yeah, I work for a living. Guess that’s the difference me and people who live in an ivory tower.” Me: “Uhh I work for a living too. Idk why you’re acting like I don’t?” Friend: “I didn’t mean you specifically. But you’re off and I’m not so it shows that you get to relax at least. You should be able to handle the truth lol. There’s no shame in admitting that I’m a harder worker than everyone else. you shouldn’t be so sensitive”
Honestly, he’s not unique, either. I’ve met so many people who are conservative, obsessed with right-wing stuff, and they’re all like this. They act like they’re special and the whole world is lazy, “no one wants to work anymore” attitude.
The democrats are pushing the conditions to allow for fascism, and losing on purpose to the republicans because any kind of economic policy that helps the working class hurts the donor class so they pretend to support the working class with “progressive” policy and then fail to actually pass it, pretending it’s the republicans fault when in reality there’s always a patsy in their own party to tank any kind of meaningful legislation. And the vote blue no matter who crowds response to this is vote harder. yeah nope, that doesn’t fucking work.
You keep going back to the circular logic of “well the dems are all we have.” Great, enjoy fascism, because the dems as they currently exist are completely spineless and incapable of doing anything about it.
Every comment you make is a perfect example of “tell me you don’t understand the US two party system without telling me you don’t understand”
Keep up the hard work you’re putting into your willful ignorance, kiddo.
Tell me you don’t understand the concept of the ONE PARTY system without telling me.
“Both” parties are the parties of CAPTIALISM AND IMPERIALISM. both parties hate the working class. Both parties hate minorities and queer people despite one pretending! otherwise. Both parties seek to keep a permanent underclass of servants to the wealthy.
The democrats are not going to do a single fucking thing to stop fascism. Not one fucking thing. But like a fucking fool you continue to believe otherwise despite two plus decades of evidence stating otherwise!!!
HOW HAS VOTING BLUE NO MATTER WHO WORKED OUT FOR YOU?! YOU LOST THE PRESIDENCY, THE SENATE, THE HOUSE, NUMEROUS STATE GOVERNMENTS AND LOCAL ELECTIONS INCLUDING A LANDSLIDE IN MY OWN STATE.
Fucking look in the goddamn mirror!!! Liberals are fucking FOOLS!
If you want to fight fascism it’s with the fucking LEFT not fucking liberals who UPHOLD FASCISM HISTORICALLY!
You sure are making up a lot of false bullshit just to get mad at it. It must be exhausting.
Keep up that hard work, kiddo.
Typical liberal living in la la land. Blocked.
