I cannot get over this. Biden has destroyed an incomprehensible number of lives between the Crime bill, college debt and medical bills, the violence on the border, the extrajudicial assassinations and renditions, the genocides in Yemen and Gaza. What the fuck are liberals? What are they? Why don't they care about any of this? What the fuck? matt matt matt matt matt matt matt matt matt matt matt matt matt matt matt matt

My brain i s just making whatever noise this picture of Matt is and it's been mkaing that noise for years. How can they just not care? How is this not real to them?

liberals absolve their candidates of all their crimes, because the alternative, the Bizarro World conservative candidate that won in the parallel universe, would have done something worse.

all throughout Obama's 8 years, anytime someone brought up a failed promise, the eternal wars, or the deportations or anything, what we were told was, "Bush would have made it worse." even when people brought up statistics about drone strikes or deportations and how Obama was harsher than Bush, the libs would short-circuit and say that Bush, if allowed to preside over the precise historical moment that Obama did, would have been worse. and this is implied to absolve Obama.

it turns out you can take a simple message, a complete false statement even, and broadcast it over and over again from every speaker and screen... and other people will believe it and repeat it to be a part of what they perceive as the popular in-group and assume a feeling of safety from the illusion of numbers.

my latest favorite example of that was when, when biden killed the railroad strike before it could start by using congress to force a deal favoring the owners and conceding nothing for workers (0 safety considerations, 0 sick days, etc), the phrase, "most pro union president since FDR" entered the public consciousness. and then that ultra-long, no brakes train derailed in ohio and poisoned a town. and these fucking lib bozos kept repeating the lie and claiming Build Back Better was the retroactive solution which fixed the problems happening after it.

a lib president could admit to dropping a biological weapon on china that specifically targets children and every paper would declare him the greatest and most loving humanitarian since Jesus.

It's their fault for naming their town East Palestine. They should be happy Biden didn't authorise Israel to bomb them yet.
