    I am not sure how many of these people just thought it was fine because Kamala would win, but I know probably all of them thought that if Trump did win that there would be mass protests by Democrats to help them out.

    I have some bad news for them. A lot of us aren’t interested in that this time because Trump won the electoral and popular vote. It’s also tiring to try to keep people from hurting themselves, and at a certain point you just need to give up and let them experience it firsthand in the hopes they will finally pay attention. They are in for a rude awakening.

      Fuck these crackers. It’s the other way around you dumbfuck racist libs. Leftists, especially leftist PoC, are constantly catering to white liberals to try and get small concessions. We compromise with them all the time to avoid shit like economic depressions or a full collapse of the environment. We don’t want to. They’re hostile and unhelpful the whole time. Yet we still do it to not make things worse for the most vulnerable. We ejected the Posadists for a reason.

      And in comes whitey with this condescending bullshit. We’ve been fighting this fight longer than we’ve been alive. Trump is the point where a lot of people gave up and will let these useless fucking white liberals experience a small fraction of what marginalized people face every day.

      I’d slap the shit out of someone if they said that to me in person. They’d need it to understand politics isn’t some arbitrary thought experiment. It has real consequences and those consequences are what’s happening to Palestine.
