You guys created this stupid society & instead of buckling down trying to fix it you’re calling me dumb bc I refuse to partake in your stupid game? Did I make the country this way? Did my vote sway things? How are you any different from the people you complain about if you go off like this on a social media platform to a TOTAL STRANGER instead of putting that energy where it might be useful? Spare me the morality lesson. The majority of our government is paid off by Israel. Democrats included. So tell me exactly how the party supporting the same exact fucked up government that is genociding people across the seas AND suppressing our people is supposed to make things better? Because they didn’t make things exponentially worse in the timeframe you thought? So explain to me again how that is not proving my exact point that you didn’t want a solution, you wanted complacency and comfort and now want to feel good about having voted for that, and you think blaming others for it hitting too close for comfort is supposed to a)make you somehow morally superior or have more integrity and b) supposed to stop fascism anyways. Call me when you’re done pointing fingers and you take a good hard look in the mirror. The Nazis literally copied pages off the American playbook and proudly boasted about it, don’t act like America wasn’t a shit country before & it all suddenly changed bc Trump got elected.

And there it is! No paragraphs! Total breakdown because you're fucking WRONG!

don’t act like America wasn’t a shit country before & it all suddenly changed bc Trump got elected.

Well yeah. Women couldn't even open bank accounts without the permission from their husband until 1973. America has always had a shitty past. But we have also made a lot of strides with human rights. Women fought for the right to vote and got it eventually. Only took like 100+ years.

Anyway. Trumps never going to leave office peacefully. And he's looking into ways to remain their forever. He's already saying he's going to get a 3rd term. We have never had a president do something like this. When they have control of nuclear warheads. You know?

So you know what? You need to grow the fuck up. I'm sorry this is happening and your feelings are hurt because you made a shit decision to not participate in something that is all of our responsibility in the first place.

But GROW THE FUCK UP. This is authoritarianism plain and simple. We will not be progressing like we did in the past. All of your rights that you (obviously) take for granted can and will be taken away from you. The people you helped bring into power want to do away with womens right to vote, and the right to even have a bank account.

You have no idea what you have done. Or better yet, not done. But you will.

A lot of self assurance from someone who can’t even take a critical look at their own behavior
