There is no commonality here. You defend a Nazi and a criminal.

Is there a point you’re trying to make here? If I don’t like your little troglodyte of a “president” I should leave?

I’m a patriot. Why would abandon my country?

No. Born here, raised here, belong here. Troll elsewhere.

Wait… you want an award because through all your nonsense blathering and personal attacks that weren’t even relevant to any point- you didn’t downvote me?

Well why didn’t you say so, my guy?

⭐️

There ya go!

(In fairness, I did’’t notice the .ml, otherwise I’d have given you your little gold star right out of the gate to avoid this disaster of a discussion)

Come get me asshole! I’ve hated this place since cancers like you were allowed to infect our politics.

If enough people could have believed this when we were shouting it back in November, she would have had to say this.

So. Your answer is to whine about my comment and offer nothing but ad hominem?

You could have easily just kept scrolling, or even just blocked me…

but wait!

Was there something I’ve said or something I’m doing that bothered you enough to want to complain about it? Do you feel better for having vented your anger and frustrations into words?

Imagine that!

(Oh, and for the record- EVERYONE posts their personal “butthurt” feelings about shit in pretty much every single post on lemmy- even you, genius. Or are you forgetting that modlogs are public?)

I really wonder how all the protest voters feel about all of this. Not what they’d say they feel, because we’ve all seen their smug and entitled responses- no, what I want to know is; how they actually and honestly feel about all of this.

Because even though I voted, I’ve seriously thought about it. I’ve tried to put myself in the shoes of someone who has EVERY reason to ask themselves if all of this was worth the entitlement-driven single-issue excuse to avoid doing the bare minimum it would have taken to hold on to the last shred of our democracy- to avoid having to have participated in what might have been America’s last election.

Yeah. I’m fucking angry.

And I’m not yet ready to forgive the assholes that helped make this happen. And part of the reason is that while I’ve seen post after post and meme after meme of even the conservatives questioning their reasoning in voting for that corrupt little felonious mouth-breathing gremlin, I haven’t see even ONE of these third party/non-voters so much as make a peep in the general vicinity of remorse.

If they want to talk about rallying behind a cause- as we see them doing here so many times, they should first start by fessing up and own their shit, because in an adult world, anyone that can admit their mistakes proves they have the honesty, maturity, and humility it takes to deserve trust.

Otherwise- I see no reason to trust them any further than I would a conservative.

Maybe it has to do with your comment singling out only the democrats that voted for this with zero mention of those that carried more of the water and created the damn thing to begin with?

Being critical of the democrats is completely fine. I just happen to think that dismissing conservatives because this type of shit is expected of them is a HUGE problem- and a big reason why we’re where we are right now.

This has been my point. Not that people are critical of democrats. But that people are ONLY critical of democrats and giving conservatives a pass because thats just what they do.

This is how they keep getting away with it.

According to what “libs”? Who thinks that exactly?

It doesn’t seem to matter what conservatives do anymore, does it? As long as there’s analogies that explain how it’s the fault of the democrats, it really seems to matter very little.

All I see is the usual to-be-expected-from lemmy “this is the democrats fault!”

Conservatives drafted the bill. BLAME THEM. 216 voted for it- BLAME THEM. Four Democrats voted for it. BLAME THEM.

I’m just sick to death of the anti-democrats propaganda when it’s the fault of conservatives that we’re here to begin with!

How can I explain this to you?

…And if any of the 216 conservatives hadn’t, it would have passed either. Or what about-

If it hadn’t been drafted at all, it would lot have passed.

As long as you’re blaming the fire, you’ll never see who lit the match. But I suppose that first matter anymore, so…. Go on. Have fun lynching the few while the many continue doing whatever the fuck they want.

Again… no one is ever “beyond the point of redemption” while they are still actively hurting people. My god… this should be a non-starter! Because anyone should know- hand-waiving things away as “too far gone” just excuses them to continue their abuse.

Meanwhile, everyone holds FOUR people’s feet to the fire over what was ENTIRELY the fault of conservatives…. because you expect better from them?

Do you see what this is?

This is allowing two hundred and sixteen rapists to continue to rape because they’re rapists and that’s what rapists do, but because a few guy who never raped anyone before, decided to- they’re crucified and burned at the stake?

Shouldn’t they ALL be responsible? Blamed? Punished?

EVERYONE should be accountable for this and NO ONE should get a pass because it’s expected.

Maybe we should start excepting better from republicans instead of always giving them an “oh well, evil will do evil” pass.

Because as long as we’re busy fighting over how bad the four democrats are who voted for this disaster- the more those 216 republicans are laughing in their $6,000 Tom Ford suits while queuing up their next act of oppression.

Cool indeed. Keep being distracted by the four shiny objects while the 216 dull ones keep talking away your rights.

Nothing to say indeed.

It’s always funny how you never see anyone from .ml putting the blame where it lies if a democrat is involved in the slightest.

Conservatives have destroyed America, but if democrats happened to exist while it happened?

“REEEEEEEEE! It’s the LiBtARD bLueMaGAs caused this!”

More simplified? Okay.

A thing was made that hurt people.

216 grown-ups in one group are in favor of it and want it to exist. Among those 216 grown-ups are the people that made it the thing that hurt people.

4 grown-ups of another group are also in favor of it.

That you are mad at the 4 grown-ups and not even bothering to mention the 216 grown-ups that created/are in favor of it, shows that you have fallen for the distraction they would want you to pay attention to.

If it helps, you can picture being on a playground and there are 216 bullies attacking all the girls.

Now imagine four kids that aren’t usually seen as bullies join in.

What you’re doing is being angry at the four kids that aren’t usually bullies and blaming them for the hurt the girls had to endure while excusing the 216 kids for their behavior.

Stop doing this.

If you’re trying to seriously dehumanize someone to justify their assassination, I’m going to ask you to go back to the children’s table because the adults are talking here.

I don’t squarely blame the four. I didn’t think it needed to be said but I guess this is lemmy, and apparently it needs to be explained.

If 216 people do a thing, and then 4 more people do a thing. It’s safe to say the fault of the result of the thing is squarely on the 216 people.

Especially when they were the ones to create the thing to begin with.

I don’t think I can simplify this further.

Sure. Totally the democrats fault. I get that. It’s totally in the math!

216 conservative votes for? “We’re totally cool with that! Completely normal- and acceptable.”

4 democrat votes for? “REEEEEEEEEEEEEE!”

Makes complete sense to me!
