So those ‘we’re full’ people will be upset about this too, right? Right?! Oh wait, we know full well their motivations for their anti-immigrant stance don’t extend beyond their stupid fucking racist dipshit peanut-sized brains.

I’ve made monthly contributions to WVPB for almost ten years now!

Are there not legitimate criticisms to be had? Should we pretend that there are no problems with something just because an alternative is worse? That seems to be just as discouraging as any FUD for those who have valid critical observations.

You say leftists stayed home because genocide, but look…

I am firmly on the left. Most of the people I choose to associate with are as well. All of us went to marches for Palestine when it was possible for us. We did what we could and…

All of us voted for Kamala Harris. We participated in electoral politics because we heard what people like you were saying about broad outcomes. I know it’s not the same everywhere, but most leftist spaces that are very critical of the Democrats that I frequent shared this sentiment.

I know it’s anecdotal, and other leftists can dunk on us for it, whatever, I don’t care.

But I’m tired of seeing threads with comment after comment being specifically about blaming the left abstainers. It’s fucking over! The election is over and pointing fingers blaming people isn’t helping anyone. You want to feel good for being right? I know you’re angry, I get it, but what is your point? You just want people to feel bad? Okay, they feel bad. The situation is shit and getting worse by the day. How is this building a unified resistance? How is this helping anyone but yourself?

Billionaires ‘bowing down’ to Trump? Like they are reluctant? Like they aren’t helping orchestrate this direction? Like they give a fuck about anything but their bottom line in the short term? Like this isn’t an administration designed in plain view for billionaire interests, more so than any previous administration?

Yeah, young folks are moving away because they’ve been indoctrinated in liberal college institutions and lured by a gay communist urban agenda to destroy rural America and bring about the decline of Christian conservative values! Nothing at all to do with capital consolidation and market monopolization resulting in reductions of diversified local markets and diminished job prospects! Increased cultural exposure due to accessing instantaneous global communications and social media? No way that has any influence in the decisions people make about what cultural environment they’d prefer to raise their children in. SmallTown USA is the best place to escape all the scary ideas that exist in the world, like equality among gender and race, and socializing the excesses of the private. Who would want to live in that kind of world?!
