Eh. Fuck off. I really don't care anymore.

You chose this. You knew exactly what was at stake, you knew who Trump was beyond any shadow of a doubt, you knew he was going to fully enable Isreal to wipe your family off the face of the earth. You knew.

I fought all the bad faith arguments flying around here and beyond. All the "never genocide" bullshit. Every day, for the better part of a year.

But you played stupid fucking games. And now we all have to find out.

It sucks because people will suffer. Likely people I care about too. But this bleeding heart "liberal" has been bled dry. I can't muster any more fucks.

It's curious that these people never targeted the Republican position on Gazza, even though it was clear from the polls that Trump had a good chance of winning.

I'm with you bud. I honestly tried. Lesser of two evils, help everyone, people deserve safety nets. Well the people I was fighting to help overwhelmingly voted against all of those. I honestly feel for anyone who voted for the same things I did and lost, but anyone who didn't vote or voted to remove those protections I'm done feeling bad for.

Sorry grandma, you voted in the man who openly wanted to get rid of Medicare. Don't care anymore. You needed Obamacare but voted for the people who openly said they'd repeal it? Too bad, get some bootstraps.

Again, those who voted to protect those things I feel for and I still want to help, but I'm done trying to help those who openly push against me.

“They voted for Trump to punish the Democrats.”

Oh, that didn’t work. Losing elections isn’t the same as being punished. Not saying it was a bad move, I’m saying it was the wrong one. It was also a bad move though.

“All Harris had to do was stop the war.”

Oh is that it? Just as a VP / figurehead, swoop on over and say, “Stop it.” Man, why hasn’t anyone ever tried that before?

Dearborn, I hope your lives work out ok. You’ve really fucked up.

"We would have voted for Harris if she would just have brought peace to the Middle East!"

...

And cured cancer. That's all that we need.

...and solved world hunger.

We don't need anything except peace in the middle east, a cure for cancer, and solutions to world hunger. And that's it!

That tactic was tried in 2016 and failed. The political party isn't the one getting punished when you vote that way nor does it encourage them to change their ways.

Changing the direction of a political party is a long, drawn out affair that requires sustained political action over the course of years.

I have a feeling a lot of people who voted for Trump are going to be hurt by his policies and they're going to be completely shocked as though this wasn't known already. How could they possibly have known the person who bragged about hurting them when elected would actually hurt them when elected? /s

A world renowned, pathological liar "played you"? The guy famous for a decades long history of incredible contradictions, tall tales and epic falsehoods. That guy. The Mythomaniac to end all mythomanics. The compulsive liar that lies more easily than he breaths? He played you? Really? I'm shocked!
