And everyone who stood aside and said “This is fine, I’m not going to do anything to stop it.”

Inaction is not absolution, as much as some people wish it was.

“Thanks everyone who didn’t vote for Harris” better for you?

I assumed that people would understand that “abstainers” was here to emphasize that those who abstained from voting also brought fascism to America, as compared to Trump voters, who we all already know are guilty for bringing fascism to America, but apparently that’s too complex to parse.

Do you know what everyone who didn’t vote would have been a vote for Harris?

The idea that they would be Trump voters instead would not improve my moral judgment of abstainers.

Thanks, abstainers.

Fuck’s sake.

Okay, but how do you live like that

Wristwatch, handless flashlight, pistol - man means business. Don’t want to catch him in your trench.

American law enforcement when offered to become Russian agents now: 😊

Make no mistake, the only problems conservatives ever had with the Soviet Union wasn’t that it was a totalitarian state that repressed the workers it claimed to represent. The only problems conservatives ever had with it was that it wasn’t Christian and capitalist.

Some are disingenuous, Susan Collin style.

Others are genuine, utter dipshits.

Rubio is a cretin. I hope Europe’s help is enough to let Ukraine end the war on Ukraine’s terms.

I love the part where I predicted that the talking point of the day would change to “It’s Good, Actually, that LGBT folk and POC are going to get genocided in America”

I wanted Harris to win. I hate Trump, but I can be mad at the Harris campaign for being shit and giving us Trump. I can be mad at everything.

That’s the right attitude tbqh

If that’s their takeaway, then we’re doomed.

Yes, which is why we should’ve sent a different message.

I was thinking (and presumably xmunk too) of scenarios where the military overthrows the government.

Ah

Some, sure. Most of the time, I assume that when people say stupid shit, it’s because they believe something stupid. Usually because their stupid beliefs are parroted in a community of people which are driven by bad actors - like how most conservatives are feeding from the bad actors in Fox News and acting as a self-reinforcing circlejerk of bad opinions.

I interpreted you as saying that you couldn’t think of a mass purge that didn’t result in a junta or other coups.

Holy fucking shit, people are dumber than I thought. And I already thought they were pretty fucking dumb.
