    hold up, nobody forgot.

    40% of us tried desperately to stop it from happening

    40% of us willingly voted for a dictator for some kink

    20% of us refused to vote because “both sides are the same” (or some dumb shit like that)

    point is, some of us are just as much of victims as y’all are.

      I’ve seen supposed democrats rally against their own interests because their candidate wasn’t the perfect example of virtue; because Harris didn’t deviate far enough from Biden’s policy on Gaza, or because her candidacy was pushed through instead of another potential candidate. I’ve seen them vote for that hopeless independent because they’d rather risk four more years of Trump than accept Harris’ imperfections. They are complicit, and now they get to burn in that dumpster fire. Only 1459 days left of that, then, who knows.

        How about instead of fighting against strawmen you start fighting against fascist my brother in the divided states.

        It was always gonna be harder than just voting anyways, but even then there’s always good reason to fight and to hope.

          what a foolish perspective.

          yes, it’s hard to fight against tyranny. but it’s even harder when the tyrant’s boot is on your throat.

          this country gave up on the dream of a better tomorrow and turned its back on billions of people for what?

          I’ll be turning my back on them now, building my own little corner of paradise.

          call me when the fights start, I’ve got enough rage in me to burn across a hundred thousand skys and it would be a shame if the tyrants never felt it.
