Look, anyone with a brain saw that concentration camps were coming before this last election. Everyone was able to see what was coming since they literally published it in black and white how they planned to destroy the country. Everyone was already aware what their goals were when it comes to women and trans.
Your whole reasoning is utter bullshit.
What, did you think Trump was going to stop bombing the fuck out of Gaza?
“Stop deporting people without due process” yeah cause our current alternative is sooo much better.
“Stop gaslighting us about the state of the economy” because now if we just don’t report on it anymore it’s not gaslighting right?
Healthcare Guess no Medicare or Medicaid is better right?
Economy for the rich Fuck that’s a good one man. Trump surely was the obvious choice to save us from that one /s
You’re either the dumbest willfully ignorant mf out there if you think you couldn’t have seen the current state of affairs coming and honestly thought we’d be better off with the current alternative because of your fucking high horse, or you’re a Russian troll.
Who said Trump was gonna be better about any of that? I certainly didn't. But the Democrats were going to keep supporting those systems, and helping the Republicans build them out. The ones helping the facists aren't going to fight against and stop the facists. That makes them far from "less than ideal".
