Leopards Ate My Face

We're all doing badly, but you expect people to feel sympathy when they have to face the consequences of their own actions? Fuck that, doubly so when they can't admit this is partially on them for their vote.

Trump voters knew what they were voting for, or were too stupid/racist to see what everyone was telling they'll would happen. They're getting the economy they voted for, and the rest of us are being dragged along with them.

I understand not sympathizing with someone who has been diligently groomed, because we only see the resulting behavior, we don't see the slow process of seduction. In her case, she was likely groomed by The Algorithm, which the current administration likely paid for.

We should all have solidarity with ordinary working class people who can’t make ends meet. Lots of them voted for Trump not because they’re right wing racist/sexist lunatics, but because the Democrats are that bad.

I’m not saying that we should let fake leftists off the hook for refusing to vote against Republicans in swing states, but we need to acknowledge that people understand their material interests and vote accordingly.
