I want Trump voters to SUFFER. Does that make me an asshole? Well...I don't give a fuck anymore.

126. Can't get out the pompoms for that sentiment.

~ low-income people who voted for Trump expecting him to protect Obamacare, Social Security, Medicare, etc.

So, what are they supposed to do? Magically understand they're being lied to?

~ people who can't do basic research and

Why is this the case? Are people born unable to do basic research, or is it that way because somebody intends it to be that way? (koff)Kochs, Mellons, Buffets, Musks, etc. (koff)

~ understand Dems are the ones who fought for these programs over the decades

Same as above.

~ the MSM and other people who normalized/sanewashed the maniac

These are people who, justifiably, should "suffer" in that we should at least recognize how complicit they are and not pay them any attention other than to point out their gullibility or outright collusion.

~ held Kamala Harris to a completely different standard during the campaign

This needs to be a persistent effort and it should happen before the stakes are so high. And it should happen in all the cases we can manage. Maybe there should be a Wikipedia-like site used as a clearing house to identify all the propaganda and canards and distribute the logical and rhetorical tools for countering it without burning too much collective attention.

~ people like Bill Maher who want liberals to be nice to conservatives

Do we have any doubt about where his loyalties lie? He makes only enough sense that he can't be perfunctorily ignored, then so consistently leavens that with flakey layers of implicit bias that it's like he's dishing out fascist baklava pathologically.

But yeah he, and people like him, should be recognized for what they are: shills for fascist customers - at best.

~ game has changed since November 2024

Same engines, higher gear.

~ all out of f*cks to give.

But this is where they want you.

Tim Snyder says "Do Not Obey in Advance."

A close second might be "Don't go 'tilt' if you can help it."

They love the idea of bezerk, for themselves and for you. 'Bezerk" means rationality is out the window. The difference is they want everyone to see see their bezerk as "righteous anger" and paint your bezerk as shear derangement for everyone to see.
