    You guys gotta get out of this teamsport mindset.

    It’s not just them feeling the pinch. It’s real people that you probably care about. And we’re all in the shit together.

      Yes, but they keep voting for this shit because they want to harm “certain” Americans. And yes, we are all having to live through it.

        And they do that because of decades of propaganda and being lied to by cunts.

        They’re as much victims of this shit as the people they’ve been told to hate.

        You and I have more in common with the most rabid chud on this continent than we do with oligarchs like Musk and Zucc or carpetbaggers like Trump.

        Be mad. Go through those stages. But when shit gets bad and they turn on him. Don’t go wagging a finger. Offer a hand instead.

          I want to thank you for posting this. In dark times like these, it’s a much needed reminder to show compassion when the time comes. People will have a hard enough time once they realize they’ve been duped. No need to make it any more difficult.

            I have zero sympathy for the malignant assholes who voted for trump and remain willfully blind to the consequences. Those who have some sort of epiphany and are able to learn from their mistake are worthy of consideration.

              It’s hard not to be angry at the legion of angry, scared, dimwits that voted for this. It’s also just not productive. In the end, what’s the point of that anger? We have to figure out how to reach those people, and how to cut through the fog of misinformation and propaganda that they are lost in. Things are just going to get worse and worse unless we do.
