Bartell, on voting for Trump despite his immigration policies: "He didn't create the system, but he does have an opportunity to improve it. Hopefully, all this attention will bring to light how broken it is."
absolutely fucking delusional. honestly, it's more sad, rather than funny
we should never forgive the ruling class for gaslighting 30% of the US into voting for fascism.

thats what happens when you have a two party system and both parties fuck over the working class.
-
you're right, but it's worth also looking for the bigger picture - why is the political system a two-party system?
the ruling class aren't super incompetent, if there's a better alternative there's a reason that they're not using it.

It really is sad and I REALLY hope people can see this for what it is. Many of us are quick to attack every Trump voter as utterly lacking morals or redeeming qualities, and I understand the impulse, but the fact is, tons of these folks were just abused and tricked. I know decent people who voted for Trump. More than one. The media they consume is entirely false, entirely one-sided, and they are outright victims of it. The result is that they sincerely have no idea who Trump really is, and their media seems utterly normal from their perspective inside it.
I'm not arguing they have no culpability. There's a point where every adult must ultimately be responsible for their decisions, whatever the surrounding context.
But we underestimate the power of their media at our peril. Trump never gets where he is today without an enormous engine of malicious deceit aimed straight at the most gullible fools among us. Shocker, it works really well.
Are we going to just forever blame the gullible fools, who aren't equipped to defend against such a thing? When do we blame and attack the people building the malicious deceit engine?

I try to ask these guys what they are talking about. They never answer so I will assume that these are just empty ideas placed in their head.

Thoughts and prayers.
I hear those are worth something to them red hats. Maybe that'll work.

Is bond from ICE actually a thing? My understanding is once they get a hold of someone they're getting booted unless they can prove citizenship or a visa (though evidently the visa doesn't mean shit anymore)

Zero sympathy for anyone voting for a convicted felon and serial sexual abuser.
