What a lovely arrangement of shells.
What a lovely arrangement of shells.
“Niceness” is largely performative. It’s based on words and little else. Being “nice” is based on how someone views themself.
Kindness, on the other hand, is rooted in an intrinsic belief that is shown through action. It extends beyond the individual and considers how their actions relate to society as a whole.
You can paint a layer of “nice” over an absolute garbage core personality. It doesn’t really mean anything. These days, “nice” can be used to describe a baseline level of standard civility that allows you to function in society. It says nothing about what kind of person you are.
The only thing saving this country from full on state-sponsored ethnic cleansing is the fact that they keep appointing the stupidest motherfuckers imaginable to key positions or power.
Even if these are restored, the spell has been thoroughly broken.
Trump has shown that the supposedly sacred institutions intended to protect democracy absolutely disintegrate the first time a 3rd rate dictator shows up and knocks them down.
Trump has shown that the office of the presidency itself can be obtained by the most dipshit motherfuckers imaginable.
Trump has shown that our electorate is hilariously unqualified for the responsibility of choosing our elected officials.
Rebuild everything, and what are we left with but a system that is utterly incapable of protecting itself against fascism? How in the absolute fuck can we ever be expected to respect the office of the presidency again after seeing that the absolute worst among us is capable of achieving it?
At this point, I think people are just hoping that the next election will restore the illusion. But for a lot of people, the perception of what this country is will be forever compromised.
Celebrating four years of abject cultural failure spent on the wrong side of history.
Anyone who is catastrophically stupid enough to be swayed by someone like Trump is not a potential ally. They are, at best, a liability.
Conservatives are culturally incapable of true civic defiance or revolutionary action. It just isn’t in their nature. They obey the authoritarian. It’s just what they are.
Don’t go looking to the right end of the political spectrum if you’re looking for rebellion.
Luigi’s defense fund has doubled this if it makes you feel better.
A solid majority of the 2nd amendment crowd will immediately ask what they can do to lick the boot harder. Those motherfuckers love jackbooted authoritarianism as long as it’s aimed at the right minorities.
I grew up in these toxic conservative cultures. It became very clear to me at a young age that there was something deeply wrong with them. I’ve heard exactly what they talk about when they only think that the people in their fucked up tribes are listening.
These aren’t potential allies to reach out to. They are enemies to overcome.
Any democratic candidate preaching “forgiveness and healing” needs to be primaried. We need representatives who are willing to absolutely curb-stomp the fuck out a party that is effectively an occupying enemy force.
These are not people to “reach out” to. They are enemies to overcome.
What in the actual fuck did they think was going to happen? He spent his entire campaign specifically saying he was going to do this.
Any democratic candidate preaching that we need to “reach out” to these people can fuck off and die.
Conservative America wants to publicly bitch about petty non-existent grievances while demanding that they be taken seriously.
Every level of government staffed by conservatives is compromised. They will only yield when they are met with direct force.
With the rest of the performers.
The fact that you don’t know about them says the system is working.
If they offered a viable alternative, this wouldn’t be necessary.
Launch some fucking armed personnel to detain the people ignoring court orders and get some answers, you ineffectual fucking buffoons.
I hope you get to call “tops” otherwise you’re dead as fuck.
