You’re comparing – what you perceive as – schadenfreude to fascism. It’s just adding to this notion that for some reason, we hold MAGA voters to a different standard. No amount of “jeering” will ever be comparable with a vote for trump so if anybody’s angry at anybody, it should be those who enabled this.
Schadenfreude or fascism, which are you?
And for the rest of us that live here? We just have to suck it up and be like, well, everybody gets to be an asshole to us because we couldn't control our neighbors' votes
Reading comprehension's hard, eh?
Sorry bro, I can't control your shitty neighbors' votes either.
Explain, what am I missing? You want to talk down to anyone from NC because the voter suppression, voter intimidation, and everything else that handed a tyrant and traitor the win for the state means we deserve to suffer?
Look at our state elections. We've got a great governor (former state AG who was outstanding.) How did he win? Look at our new AG. Jeff Jackson is my favorite politician. Never seen one as transparent. I have doubts over the legitimacy of the vote, but I'm not gonna sit here and cry cheater because the other side has done that for so long it's lost all meaning.
And yes, I assert that your attitude towards us makes you no better than them. It's real low to insist we deserve this.
I stated that you perceive this as schadenfreude. I feel joyless anger about the incredible stupidity, and significant annoyance by the self-defeating double standard that equates my anger with fascists actually voting for this.
Also, seriously, your measure of greatness is NC not electing the Black nazi for governor?! I mean this fucking bar is really fucking low.
This whole "not as bad as that" comparison is tired. You're being really shitty. You're inhumane. I'm done with you.
Edit: we also feel anger about all this, but have to get shit from everyone because the election couldn't be swayed. I hope you never have to go through a natural disaster like that and then get treated this way. Stay ignorant!
if it were up to me, you wouldn't be in this situation. i'm sorry if you can't see the difference.
