    It’s a lot quieter since the election. Almost like they were, paid or not, bad faith actors with one goal.

    Hm.

    I happen to be of the opinion that they were all, or almost all, just useful idiots who truly believe that Trump winning would result in the FALL OF THE AMERIKKKAN EMPIRE and subsequently some kind of world socialist revolution. Instead of, you know, Trump’s slump just being sludging up all extant institutions and encouraging crony capitalism and repression of workers’ movements the world over.

    I mean, they probably still believe that, for that matter, but being confronted with the reality of ushering in fascism triggers some cognitive dissonance with their performative allyship, and they don’t like that.

      I say this with no sense of irony or desire for the fall to happen; but he hasn’t even taken office yet, time will tell [sigh].

      I still struggle with the internal conflict of 1) wanting this to all just work out and we come out the other side 4 years from now with our democracy intact, albeit with a lot of changes I disagree with or 2) hoping for stage 2 of FAaFO to unleash the leopards while I laugh and the idiots who voted against their own best interests cry that their faces are being eaten. The human in me really hopes for the former, but the wanna-be-standup-comedian in me has a darker heart.

        Oh yeah, my point isn’t that they haven’t ‘succeeded’ in that goal of seeing the US collapse; they very well may have depending on how things shake out. My point is only that their actual motivations were not, largely, their stated motivations, and the starkness of what is facing minorities in the US now makes them uncomfortable, knowing that this is what they were cheerleading for. And also that the collapse of the US isn’t going to look anything like they think it will.

      Sounds like there was a wave of bannings too, judging by the comments.

      There will be plenty of topics to come that will provide similar outlets considering what is pending.

    Hm… Linkerbaan hasn’t posted in a month.

    Wonder what happened to all that fervor for Palestinians.

    Edit: evidently they were banned from .world so I can’t see their stuff from here, even if I go to the account directly.

    I’ll just go ahead and save this post to share during the next election to hopefully help encourage others to tune out the new ones that will show up.

      People on the left still desperately trying to make excuses instead of accepting that they fielded a horrible candidate.

        I’ve said this one and I’ll probably have to say it again.

        Trump was a senile diaper wearing rapist and convicted felon who said he would bang his own daughter, leaked classified secrets to Russia and made fun of veterans.

        In a sane world a dessicated cat turd would have beaten him in every single state.

        That does not mean Kamala was worse a worse candidate than that, it means we don’t live in a sane world.
