I think that’s an excuse, if anything the left has been overly tame and tolerant of maga/Republicans/conservatives under the guise of free speech. The idea of them being low class idiots came from their flavor of insanity of voting against their own interests with every single round of trickle down economics.
If anything they’re being too nice with their description.
So why are they idiots do you think? Like are you just naturally and inherently superior to all of them?
Or maybe they were raised differently than you were and taught different things than you were. Exposed to different ideas. Maybe they lack knowledge because they went to a shitty school rather than because they are inferior.
Or that is just an excuse because I don’t want to admit that they are idiots. Idiots who strangely enough don’t want to vote for people who are convinced they are idiots.
They lack empathy and critical thinking skills above all else. Without empathy they cannot understand how different people have different struggles or life experiences. Without critical thinking skills they think all solutions are a simple black or white option with no grey.
With those factors combined, yes I would call them idiots at a minimum if not downright evil.
Like if there is a 4 year old whose parents hit them - then they go to school and hit other kids. Is the 4 year old evil? Or were they taught that behavior?
I’m not saying that adults are 4 years old and aren’t responsible for their actions, I’m just saying that some people have VERY different opportunities than you and I have had.
People are complicated, but my (liberal) values are exactly what one would expect me to have if you look at my upbringing and education. If I had a different education and upbringing I almost certainly would have different values.
Not fun to admit, but true.
I prefer to call actions bad rather than people. People are pretty complicated, and it’s not a level playing field.
They’re idiots because they’ve systemically allowed themselves to be taken advantage of while refusing to ever hold their leadership, representatives, or votes accountable.
They don’t vote for Dems or non Republicans in general not because they’re idiots but because they’re Evil and want other people to suffer. And more and more think that non-christians and immigrants should be erased. Which Republican law makers will easily agree to parrot or push because they don’t give a shit. It’s definitely not a ridiculous idea of democratic pseudo elitism especially since the only reason to vote Dem is so those lazy bastards can prevent things from getting worse. We aren’t going around acting like we’re geniuses compared to Republicans. At most a remark like that would be retaliation.
We don’t even need their votes we need the people that aren’t voting to vote since they’re easier to have an actual conversation with. If they want to be idiots let them, I don’t give a shit about them.
Yeah, no stop with that. I’m not going to take this moderate kumbaya bullshit that hasn’t worked and will never work. We’re backsliding so far that things will be worse than the 50s in 2 months. There’s no compassion left for any of these Nazis, and there never will be again. I’ll gladly step over and on their corpses if that’s what it takes. If their own policies leaves them dying and starving I don’t give a flying fuck.
There’s no morality in sitting here and taking abuse from people that have not only sold out the country but have consistently demonized, witch hunted, and are apathetic to any misfortune directly or indirectly caused. 10 years ago your argument had merit. 5 Years ago you weren’t right but had the moral high ground despite it all. 2 years ago I’d have side eyed you, said that Christians/Conservatives/Religion is the worst thing that humanity has ever created and will bring the downfall of us a species, and then I’d have gotten push back but I wouldn’t have been silenced. Today you’ve got nothing to stand on imo.
There is only anger left, as far as hatred that’s come about because I’m forced to constantly consider people that have actively hated me for existing. Having to know when the genocide starts will do that. The audacity to say that I need to stop being angry, that I need to basically let it go. When I could straight up die in the next 2 years because sky fairy cultists have decided to initiate the purge is honestly ridiculous.
I’m sorry. I also feel anger and fear. I am desperately looking for ways to take action that are at least potentially effective, even if there is risk and personal cost to myself. I do not feel like a “moderate”.
I also do not want to lose sight of my own value system. Trump is full of vengeful hate. I would rather be a good person who got killed trying to make things better than be still alive but consumed with vengeful hate / hurting other people.
I am not religious - but I am a pacifist at heart. The people I admire most are folks who brought about massive change through non violent means - not people who won wars.
And honestly even if the political stuff all suddenly became ok (it won’t) the billions of people who will die from climate change is inevitable- so that gives me some perspective. Like we are ALL going to die. What is the best I can do with the time I have?
I do not have answers. Maybe - as you suggest - everything I do will be ineffective. I share your fear and dread, but if I can’t continue to value love over hate then I have already lost.
Yeah no, I’m apathetic usually because I know I’d become really unhinged. But when the time comes I’m fighting to the death, I’d be pissed to die without taking anyone down with me. I’m not letting them take me away so the last bit of my life is slow torture or worse some fucked up torture porn. I’m not letting go of my anger because I’d stop fighting and just ignore it everything. If I survived off of that? Off of never fighting? I’d never be able to look at my reflection again.
I’m not saying I need to be uncontrolled with my anger, but I’m going to act with it as my fuel.
Death from climate change is still fixable probably, and even if it’s not we can at least kill these billionaires and old politicians that have caused it. so they don’t get to hang out as the rest of us slowly die.
If anything they’re being too nice with their description.
Honestly? Trump is the only reason I even vote Democrat at all. Democrats spent too many years telling me I’m “toxic” and “privileged”, wagging their finger at me for stupid shit like using the word “lame”(apparently it’s “ableist” to say that nowadays) and treating me as if I’m a problem to be dealt with rather than a human being, for me to trust Democrats.
You can go ahead give “not being nice” a try if you want, but that’s only going to make people like me feel more unwelcome among Democrats than we already do - And you can insult me or yell at me for saying that if you want, and I’ll just grit my teeth and bear it and vote Democrat anyways in 2026 because you’re the “lesser of two evils”… But just know that there are DEFINITELY other voters out there who will be driven right away by that type of approach.
Oh my Goddess, “toxic” and “privileged” tf? That’s what has you rubbed the wrong way? PC culture? lmao that isn’t even a party thing I don’t recall anyone running on that promising to police words. That is culture war propaganda. Moderates sure as hell don’t care. What that is the result of progressives getting a voice and enough power to actually remove people that are assholes when 15+ years ago they’d have grimace until someone said a slur and then it was 50/50 if it wasn’t the n-word. That gateway Nazi apologist speech that comes from either being out of touch, just a bit too racist, terminally online, privileged (and you can be privileged in some ways and absolutely fucked in others), an asshole that’s smart enough to toe the line or some flavor of idiot.
Getting so bent out of shape because the equivalent of a grammar Nazi spoke to you online about something that you probably didn’t consider is the biggest crybaby bullshit I’ve ever heard. That’s not “the party” and if it was Whenever Dems were in power you’d see much stronger political action to defend handicapped individuals. Dems are a mix of lukewarm assholes that don’t hate other people enough to want to ruin their lives for no reason. So acting like saying something offensive, when if you consider any context there’s a reason why insults are insulting, and then having someone frown at you is like being crucified is completely a problem. It cannot be solved except by touching grass.
You are acting like you’re being persecuted, when it’s literally words from someone and their words aren’t being parroted by legislators, they aren’t creating a movement to imprison and then pass you around like a sex object. They’re not trying to murder you in the streets or straight up ban your healthcare. You’re acting like you have some moral high ground when you want to say slurs 💀. And go ahead bruh say lame say whatever you want. Do you know how many times I get corrected for saying shit ? That you’ve connected that to Dems because progressives literally can’t make their own party because they hate rich people is hilarious.
You keep saying “people like me” while tiptoeing around what the hell you’re talking about so I’m just going to assume you’re talking about incels. PC culture isn’t why incels don’t vote Dem. It’s because the right hates women as much as they do and isn’t afraid to show it. It’s because they’re racist and they know who exactly if going to be racist right along with them. It’s because they’re -phobic think of anything that’s not Evangelical Christian and Republicans despise it right next to them.
If you’re an incel but you understand that Trump and every Republican enabling him is going to destroy the US. Congrats. But blaming random people not wanting to be insulted by low grade Nazis for Dem polling results is completely out of touch with reality.
That’s correct. I don’t like being called those things. Go call someone like Elon ‘privileged’, not me, because you don’t know my life.
By the way, isn’t it funny how you Democrats love to police everybody else’s language - Like accusing me of using ‘slurs’ for calling something ‘lame’ - but don’t like your own language being policed up?
Gotta say, that’s pretty lame.
Wanna know another big reason I don’t like Democrats? Let’s face it: You’re weak, and soft. You are utterly incapable of standing up to Trump in any meaningful way, and have been for nearly a decade now. Democrat politicians lack the spine to do anything to stop the MAGA movement, or really do anything at all aside from enjoy lobbyist bribe money and insider trading info while smugly patting themselves on the back and congratulating themselves for being more politically correct - and thus more morally righteous - than people like myself.
I take it you’re a woman? You literally had your reproductive rights stolen under a Democrat administration. Where were your leaders when that happened? Why were they so absolutely incompetent at defending your rights from a tyrannical government who’s hell-bent on taking them away, when you Democrats were in power at the time? For all of the energy you spend yelling and screaming at people about how politically correct everyone needs to be, you Democrats are absolutely useless when it comes to doing anything that is actually important.
So yes. It is, indeed, VERY difficult for me to vote Democrat, for multiple reasons. But, I did vote Democrat. Three. Damn. Times. And I’ll grit my teeth and do it again in 2028 if it means getting rid of that orange tyrant, despite Democrats like you wagging your fingers and talking down to folks like me while being so utterly useless at doing anything meaningful to stop Trump’s agenda.
So, you know what you can do? You can go knit yourself a p-ssy hat, hold up some ping-pong paddles whenever Trump tells another lie, maybe join Chuck Schumer on his book tour if you want, see how that goes for you.
Me? I’m going focus on talking to Trump voters and attempt to change their minds and swing their votes away from Trump through reasonable, respectful discourse - And to do that, it DEFINITELY helps that I’m a Libertarian who can relate to them in some ways, and not a Democrat who’s going to annoy them by calling them ‘toxic’ or ‘privileged’, or an ‘incel’ or a ‘bro’, or berate someone for being ‘ableist’ if they use a word like ‘lame’ in conversation, or tell them how much I’d prefer to be in the company of wild bears over them.
You go do things your way. I’ll do things my way, and I really don’t care if you approve of how I go about doing so because standing up to Trump your way has consistently failed us all.
I think that’s an excuse, if anything the left has been overly tame and tolerant of maga/Republicans/conservatives under the guise of free speech. The idea of them being low class idiots came from their flavor of insanity of voting against their own interests with every single round of trickle down economics.
If anything they’re being too nice with their description.
So why are they idiots do you think? Like are you just naturally and inherently superior to all of them?
Or maybe they were raised differently than you were and taught different things than you were. Exposed to different ideas. Maybe they lack knowledge because they went to a shitty school rather than because they are inferior.
Or that is just an excuse because I don’t want to admit that they are idiots. Idiots who strangely enough don’t want to vote for people who are convinced they are idiots.

With those factors combined, yes I would call them idiots at a minimum if not downright evil.
So why would someone lack empathy?
Like if there is a 4 year old whose parents hit them - then they go to school and hit other kids. Is the 4 year old evil? Or were they taught that behavior?
I’m not saying that adults are 4 years old and aren’t responsible for their actions, I’m just saying that some people have VERY different opportunities than you and I have had.

Not fun to admit, but true.
I prefer to call actions bad rather than people. People are pretty complicated, and it’s not a level playing field.
I’m superior to someone that votes for Donald Trump, yes.
So you are all in with “us vs them” politics.
Yay my team and fuck the other guys they suck.
They’re idiots because they’ve systemically allowed themselves to be taken advantage of while refusing to ever hold their leadership, representatives, or votes accountable.
They don’t vote for Dems or non Republicans in general not because they’re idiots but because they’re Evil and want other people to suffer. And more and more think that non-christians and immigrants should be erased. Which Republican law makers will easily agree to parrot or push because they don’t give a shit.

You sound really angry.
Action taken based on anger and hatred is different than action motivated by compassion and morality.
Yeah, no stop with that. I’m not going to take this moderate kumbaya bullshit that hasn’t worked and will never work. We’re backsliding so far that things will be worse than the 50s in 2 months. There’s no compassion left for any of these Nazis, and there never will be again. I’ll gladly step over and on their corpses if that’s what it takes.
