    It’s time people realize the holocaust is coming and all democrat politicians, immigrants, and other minorities are in grave danger of being imprisoned and executed

    Isn’t this the entire conservative project?

    Meanwhile, the more-leftist-than-thou will yell at people that point out that the gEnOcIdEjOe psyop was rather foolish to fall for. Again, many Democrats can be reached on matters of policy. Maybe not all. And there is no perfect politician, that’s just not a thing in the real world.

    Meanwhile, the conservatives are seeking ways to come for you. Imprison you. Remove you from the country. Possibly murder you.

        Without question.

        But…there are a lot of things that would be nice in this world. Often you have to make the pragmatic choice.

          A system that is proving incapable of making a choice that doesn’t ultimately do more good than the harm it causes, probably isn’t worth saving to begin with. When offered the choice between facing a live-streamed firing squad, or getting stabbed in the back and left to bleed out in an alley, you’re not really being offered different outcomes, just a different process, and maybe more time to find a way out. That’s the real pragmatic choice. Not playing their sick game in the first place, and building an exit strategy.

            I’m not sure what you are suggesting here. Not sure what you are talking about with firing squads and stabbings?

            Voting Democratic will absolutely make things better. No one is claiming that it will be perfect.

              Will it? Voting Democratic will stop things from accelerating toward worse, but it rarely seems to do anything to actually make anything better. I’m very open to the idea that when you find yourself in a hole, you should stop digging, but not digging by itself doesn’t get you out of the hole.

      I’m so severely sick of dealing with the class of people who lost the election for Democrats in 2024 by refusing to address the fact what the administration had aided and abbetted the whole cloth slaughter of a people and then claim resistance to that was a psyop or conspiracy.

      You lost us that election doing so. Please stop.

        I am really deeply convinced most of the people who make comments like that online are right wing trolls, because there’s pretty much no better advertisement for the Republican party at this point than pretending like there’s a sizable group of people who actually liked the Biden administration. Like even if you are a Joe Biden superfan, you’ve gotta understand he got rejected in 2024 and there’s zero point now in trying to rehabilitate his brand. Telling everyone how great Newsome is I would understand (though obviously disagree with), but simping for Biden at this point? Doesn’t make any sense unless you’re trying to piss off progressive voters.

          All I can say is that they aren’t interested in winning elections. Clearly. Their response is pathological, conspiratorial, and antisocial. There is a term which is becoming a bit of a trope, but its been gaining traction over the previous few years, which is simulacrum, a synthetic reality of ones own creation.

          Corporate and “centrist” news sources spent decades building up a simulacra for mainstream dems and liberals to inhabit. And when you attack that fantastic world view, one totally unhinged from reality, they take that attack personally, because they’ve lost the attachment between their perceptions of how they think the world should be, and how the world actually is.
