Well, I dunno if I’d have faith in the democrats to really do that well, considering they implicitly agree with a good majority of the shit trump’s doing and don’t really seem to give much of a shit either way. Especially looking at how they haven’t fought back against narratives around illegal migrants being criminal superpredators, even though that’s all completely made up. There are other examples of democrats being totally incompetent but I do pretty much fully believe at this point that they’re controlled opposition.
More broadly, no, I don’t think I hold that the democratic legitimacy of the obviously dumb as shit system is more valid than the lives of migrants, trans people, the elderly and disabled dependent on public medical care, or really anyone else under threat right now. I don’t think they should have to suffer just because like, 20% of the population of the country are kind of politically unengaged dumbasses or psychotic small business owners who’ve been radicalized by facebook. I don’t even particularly think that said 20% of the population should be made to suffer just because they’re dumbasses or because they voted wrong, since we’re all products of our circumstance, and suffering doesn’t really make you a better person, so much as it just makes you suffer.
The FAFO attitude people are taking this time around is kind of concerning to me. Strikes me as very blatantly cruel, apathetic, and maybe naive. I can’t blame people for being disengaged, but I can blame people for taking their frustrations out on people. I’ve even seen those freaks that want to report people to ICE for both being migrants and voting for the wrong guy. It’s insane.
Unironically, yes.
