There are millions of people here who are kind and compassionate and want none of this and are absolutely horrified and too depressed to even work and function, but have no idea what to do about it.
If only those kind and compassionate people had gone out to vote that last time... I would have believed it. Sure some people are nice but boy these nice people shot themselves in the foot
Most of them did go out and vote, and they voted wrong because our media landscape is massively, impossibly compromised and fucked, so attacking the the general population for not knowing who to vote for is like condemning an orphanage of misled children for being enlisted as child-soldiers. I get everyone wants to blame people, but lets blame the right people. There are reasons we don't send mentally challenged people to the electric chair and why we have rules about premeditation for crimes.
You guys want to see satisfaction but know the conservative segment will never feel regret so you're now turning on the innocent-minded people who have been manipulated. We've had some of the largest marches and protests against Trump's regime in US history since even his first administration, we're not a healthy country right now but attack the disease, not the compromised immune system. It's basic logic.
Unless you are also going to reject logic. I guess it's the "in" thing to do in the 2020's.
