Okay this is not really that relevant here…but my father who works for the government in one of those everyone is probably getting fired soon but who knows… Anyway I was talking on the phone with him and he said “I’m worried about my job I don’t know what I would do … but I’m glad they are getting rid of all that waste in the government spending”
That they think the waste is people’s jobs and not the billions we pour into corporations is equally frustrating and mind-boggling. I stopped talking to my parents because I just can’t handle these kinds of conversations. They reek of dishonesty.
people would rather be broke, jobless, the opposite of free, and be regarded as stupid–rather than simply admit they made a major life-wrecking mistake
tell your dad that i, for one, hope he enjoys his suffering
You know, you’re no better… You shouldn’t want people to suffer… That’s how we got here… Instead of boosting people up and encouraging people to be better… People like you wish people would suffer…
Maybe you will take some time to reflect and be a better person…
Edit: clearly we are all doomed to be assholes and divided… Maybe instead one day you will see who the real enemy is…
A bit of schadenfreude should be expected after a decade of listening to the schmucks spouting off “F your feelings” while getting offended that someone chose a different pronoun. That doesn’t mean that forgiveness isn’t possible from one side, but remorse is necessary for forgiveness to be available. That would mean remorse for creating the issue our country is faced with, not just for their personal circumstance. So far that’s all we’ve seen
Your jesus like approach is nice and all, but a lot of people seem to only learn their lesson after they have suffered. I think we shouldn’t rejoice in their suffering and instead hope they learnt a fucking thing, but given their stupidity literally cost lives, I’d say you shouldn’t be surprised at people enjoying a bit of Schadenfreude.
look where all this “let’s be nice to the very fine people on the nazi side” and tolerance and patience and we’re not going to publish this article because it’ll hurt trump’s feelings has gotten us today. excuse me, but fuck that shit.
you can say i’m a bad person if that makes you feel better, but fuck trump, and fuck everyone who voted for this bullshit that everyone has to deal with now
Did I say that though? I don’t think I did… Not liking someone and not criticizing them because they are a bad person is not the same thing as wishing they were a better person… You can do those things at the same time…
No one said be nice to Nazi… You just want them not to be… And maybe if you can do something to help them. instead of you know wishing that they would suffer.
Especially when all of the wrong a lot of these people did was vote for someone because they were told lies about how things would be better…

ok you’re trying to defend trump voters as if they’re somehow “victims of dishonesty.” again, no.
after the first trump term, the abysmal covid response, the 2 impeachments, J6, the classified documents, and on and on and on, while normal people were doing everything they could to convince these people that they’ve been hoodwinked, FOR YEARS, demonstrates that the “let’s talk about it and compromise” approach DOES. NOT. WORK. mockery and ridicule and unwell wishes it is.
again (and again and again), fuck trump, and fuck trump voters. yes i fucking do want them to suffer the way everyone else is suffering. i don’t know what gives you the impression that you’re going to change my mind about that, but i guess…go get’em tiger…?
trump and his sycophantic goons are actively wrecking this country and democracy. it could be reasonably argued that the point of no return has already passed. it’s really rich that you’re telling ME to “be better” in this situation, but i’ll bite: what’s your suggestion for “help people be better”? inform people who deliberately dismiss facts and evidence they don’t like as “fake news” that they’ve voted for a conman? be specific, because people have been trying the “let’s respect the viewpoint of the rapist felon voters” approach for years, and look at where we are.
so EXACTLY what is it that you think everyone should do?
if you sit down to dinner with 8 people and 1 of them is a nazi, you’re eating dinner with 8 nazis
And just because you didn’t vote for a racist sexist committed felon, means you’re better?
Yes.
Because your party is so great and wants you to prosper? Or is it just controlled by corporations and billionaires with the same agendas?
Don’t know when I said anything about parties or what I think of Democrats. Pretty sure that’s an entirely different topic. (I think they’re the controlled opposition party, for what it’s worth.)

For what it’s worth, I agree with you in this case, and I’m sorry about your Dad. I hope he sees reason soon.
yea, no.

You’re turning this into something it’s not about…
Just do better and help people be better man… How is that too much to ask?

When they voted for their own suffering, I find it difficult to sympathize with them.

Sure, he raped me, but he was really having some emotional difficulties at the time. I really can’t thank him enough.
Did you say, ‘You mean like you?’
It’s gobsmacking how brainless the cultists have become.
