We have to agree where we ARE before we stand a chance to agree about what we do from here.
These people have cheered on the most heinous shit, you can't reconcile with that. The fuck?
Wait wait wait. So the people who support treating humans like they are disposable trash undeserving of rights if they dare stray from the very narrowly defined normative values are now okay because they changed sides? Fuck that. They still support violence against others and hate against the unknown. They are still undeserving of acceptance.
Supporting Nazis will make us all Nazis.
"You don't have to admit you were wrong"
🤣
What an opener to appeal for unity, Jesus fucking Christ.
The American Left and Right are indistinguishable people apart from political views.
Imagine what y'all could achieve if the circlerks were united as one big fucking circlejerk. That's what Putin is blocking because GAWD DAMN was it effective in the last century.
But if unity can't be started until someone admits something they don't believe... Cool. Enjoy the dying years of your country, furled by stubbornness above all else.
I reiterate; The American Left and Right are indistinguishable people. Shouldn't that mean something for common ground sake? Shake fucking hands ffs
You're not wrong, but "Our division is caused by those evil foreigners" isn't it.
We have our own oligarchs, whom are much more influential than any foreign entity and have just as much interest in keeping the working class divided and confused. One of them is the literal president.
Country boys will be hot again once they burn those Trump flags.
They lied to themselves.
A popular older phrase...
"Those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it."
If step one is to admit that they've been lied to, then step two has to have them admit that they were wrong in how they voted. Otherwise we'll go through this again, again, and again.
But that'll be a hard sell, as nobody likes to admit that they've been conned/taken advantage of. Thats human nature.

You chose to listen to the ones who lied, and ignored the ones who warned
Who the hell is going to be convinced by a patronizing image like this?
We’ve never said anything different. You’re just now realizing this.
There's no small number of people on the left who'd rather say "I told you so" than "I look forward to working with you."
