“How could democrats do this to us?”
-“Leftists” on lemmy
Look at profiles like davel@lemmy.ml
Dude actively engaged American politics, while being a pro-Russian Putler-dick loving troll. Claims to be American. But genuinely, just look at that profile. It’s profiles like that which influenced zoomers to stay home and not vote.
There’s was a massive propaganda push to ‘protest by not voting’ , and by golly did they fucking succeed.
It’s simply impossible to imagine they were telling the truth when they said genocide was a red line

"Our glorious leaders did everything perfectly like always! Let’s blame abstract concepts, vague and unsolvable societal problems, and the people who warned us that this could happen!" - Ridiculously obtuse Neoliberals on Lemmy
“What’s a strawman?”
L2read dipshit
A strawman is what I was replying to. I’m not the dipshit with a comprehension problem here.
Two wrongs don’t make a right.
Correct. Good thing that my comment was a hyperbolic denunciation of a clear pattern of actual attitudes and behaviors rather than a blame shifting strawman like the one I was replying to.
I’m gonna refer back to my earlier comment
And you’re thus continuing to be wrong.
Deliberate and obvious hyperbole to emphasize a valid point is NOT a strawman, nor is it equivalent.

Don’t forget all the people of the world who sit back and laugh at the suffering of millions of people just because the leaders they can’t control do bad shit. Getting pleasure out of watching people suffer is wrong.
the suffering of millions of people just because the leaders they can’t control do bad shit.
My brother in Christ, what do you mean by that can’t control? Women, minorities, poors, olds voted for someone who’s going to take away their healthcare, deport them or their friends and families, and wreck the economy.
These people literally had option to deny him that power. I don’t think there’s going to be any such option in near future.
Pretty sure they mean non-Americans who can’t vote in our elections.
Correct. I mean anyone laughing at another country because it’s going to shit is a bad person. I don’t laugh at the Russian people. I laugh at the government. The average person is kept powerless for a reason.
MAGA party explicitly mentioned denaturalization during the campaigns. That means Americans who were immigrants or were born to immigrants.
How many of those are Trump voters/non-voters, we don’t know but safe to assume there’s plenty of such idiots.
However, there are illegal immigrants in USA. They love Trump and his rhetoric about illegal immigrants, not realizing he’s talking about them.
"I’m an immigrant, and I love Trump,” said Alex, a day laborer who has been undocumented since he came to the U.S. from Nicaragua 28 years ago.
Fernando Pineda, a 52-year-old undocumented immigrant from El Salvador who also works as a mover for U-Haul, said he’s ambivalent about Trump’s win because he feels protected by San Francisco’s status as a sanctuary city, meaning it does not coordinate with ICE to deport undocumented immigrants.

At this point apathy or schadenfreude is the only option left because these people are beyond reach or help.
the 3rd panel is similar. I work at a grocery store as a highschool job and it’s really sad seeing grown folks with hair thats literally gray hobbling around because they can’t afford medical bills.
Education is not a solution to jobs paying too little.
Bold of you to presume that they will even accept your taxes at all, in order to keep those services solvent. Instead it looks very much rather like they will simply be removed from us, at any price point.
Bunch of ragged trousered philanthropists
Interesting to see Jamie Harrison on the last panel.
