    This tweet proves everything. We all know the government is bound to follow the instructions of no-name twitter users. It’s basic politics. It goes back to the forefathers who signed the declaration of independence just moments after they were verified on Twitter.

    It’s all right here in our historic documents scrawled on this Dave and Busters™ napkin. If you don’t believe me, read it for yourself.

    I just can’t really parse this considering that Republicans want to do things like eliminate the entire EPA and tried 60 times just in the past several years to cancel health care for people like me. Dems would get a hell of a lot more done if Republicans didn’t reflexively block anything at all they try to do.

    More accurately but less memetically

    Working Class: Help Us Please

    Democrats: Here’s a token effort to get the progressive wing off our backs for a few minutes, sweaty ♥🏳️‍🌈#blm

    Republicans: Actually, we’re going to make things worse. As bad as we can. Suffering builds character, poors.

    The only way someone could pretend they’re the same is if they’re either well outside where the differences are clearest, or they just aren’t paying attention and getting all their news from someone from the first category.

    “Both sides same” and any attempt to act like there’s a dimension where it totally applies trust ne bro is a position fundamentally rooted in the privilege to feel a negligible difference between annoyingly status quo adherent centrists and actual goddamned fascists.

    Not to mention how that specific meme implies queer folks and black people aren’t a part of the working class, which just kinda gives the whole game away with what a lot of people in american right wing politics, and a depressing number of self proclaimed progressives and leftists, are actually saying whenever they bemoan that we’re not paying enough attention to the working class instead of tackling social equity issues.
