what air defense doing

Now heap on the “No, YOU support genocide by objecting to genocide” shit like you always do.

You support genocide by doing everything you can to support the election of the more genocidal option. Didn't realize "More genocide = bad" was considered a hot take before this election year, but it seems that many online simply have no real sense of morality. But hey, you got your precious Bothsides GOP administration in, so it's a success in the end for you, huh?

lol

Most understand neither.

Some of my friends have expressed a desire to do so. They're disappointed in the country. A third of the country voted for fascism, and a third of the country didn't give a shit. It's a hard fight to stay motivated, even for issues that directly relate to oneself, if the process feels hopeless - not simply by the opposition of powerful elites, but by the opposition of the overwhelming mass of your fellow citizens.

This is a shill accusation.

It's an accusation that all you have are canned talking points with no relevance to the actual person you're claiming to argue with. Like those GOP voters who waddle into their polling place with a handy pamphlet telling them who and what to vote for - it's not that they're shills. It's that they have no understanding of politics and utterly lack imagination, relying instead on repetitive tribalist bullshit to engage, for what little that's worth, in the civic process.

Ask if a mother is unable to feed her children if she should be provided with food assistance.

"Yes, by charities and the Church"

There won't even be hesitation.

Doesn't matter. Everything is a conspiracy. Everything is the fault of some mysterious cabal.

Criticism of those who supply weapons for genocide is not support for genocide. Criticism of those who throw trans people under the bus is also not support for genocide.

Spending a year shouting abuse at anyone who dares to say that Democrats should not be supporting genocide? That shit right there is support for genocide.

Good thing I said that Democrats should not be supporting genocide even at the time. But hey, who needs facts when you can engage in delusions to absolve yourself of your guilt? Keep supporting as many genocides as possible, buddy, I'm sure it'll eventually work out and your magic political pendulum will swing the other way.

We had an election. You can no longer pretend that “We’re second worst” is the issue you and the rest of the pro-genocide wing of the second shittiest party spent a year pretending it was. We tried to warn you, and you interpreted being able to see the writing on the wall as trump support from russians.

Tried to warn us of... what? That you were going to do your damndest to ensure the GOP got into power and got to execute all their favorite genocides?

They'll be praising the circumstances to high heaven, don't you worry.

Could I have made a scene? Oh, yes, especially when the talk turned to coal and how closing down coal mines would make West Virginia 'the poorest state in the country' and how 'Trump is already having an effect on the economy, you can see it in the gas prices'.

Would it have helped? Would I have gotten any satisfaction from it? No, and no.

I fucking hate family holidays.

It's worse than it sounds.

Of the people who can name the three branches of government, even fewer actually understand how they work.
