Dems so mad at losing the moral high ground because they thought that was the last thing they had yet to lose.
But seriously, anyone claiming this move "frees" Trump to do whatever is being ridiculous. He is/was already empowered to do exactly as he pleases.
@mttaggart "Now the guy who never thought a single step ahead of what he was doing is going to do things without thinking a single step ahead! This is all the Dems' fault AGAIN!" -neolibfuckstains
@mttaggart Sorry, should replace this with "the party", but with the caveat that they do think ahead, but only about what they'll gain knowing that the opposition still plays the game several steps behind worrying about optics and "consequences."
The right does whatever the fuck it wants and the neolibtrash still try the whole, "LOOK HOW HYPOCRITICAL THEY ARE!" game. It hasn't worked since I was a child and couldn't vote. It doesn't work now, either.
I am sick to death of seeing the thought process of, "I got you now! You just exposed yourself as a liar and a fraud!" They just don't fucking care. They keep doing whatever atrocities that they want, because their opponent is still worried about optics. There are no repercussions. They are not playing by the same rules and shackling yourself to the rules is a losing game.
We've lost. We've lost hard. We may not recover this time, but I can assure you that the fat, white, old, trash in power will keep playing the same games and vulnerable people everywhere suffer for it while they play games.
Palestinians were already fucked, because we're happy to let Israel commit genocide as long as AIPAC gives them cash.
Trans people were sacrificed at the altar of neolib optics.
Immigrants that belong here more than most people born here, fighting just to have a life; sacrificed because of rules that don't exist and haven't been followed for decades.
I am sick of limp, weak, losers trying to tell us to be calm, less violent, and less active. This is how we got here.
We have Nazis marching in the streets not getting shot in the face, in 2024. We lost.
@NosirrahSec The only start to any way forward I see is a dissolution of the Democratic Party. There is no room for the ideas that can save us in current leadership. I can't help but think it needs to get much worse before there's a chance it gets better. Like when the FBI raids the New York Times newsroom, we'll be on our way to the moderates getting it.
I just don't have any hope left.
We're going to have a permanently compromised Supreme Court, further than it is already, for the rest of our lives. That fight is lost.
Look at what we've lost in the short time they've had control of it!
Meanwhile, we can't say or do anything because we're tone-policed into silence any time we say what needs to be done to fascists. No one has a spine anymore.
Words don't fight off fascism.
Words have never fought off fascism.
Words are what let fascism take root again, in less than 100 years since the last time we fought a world war to violently stomp it out.
We're getting fucked in the ass because we're letting them win while Democrats spit on our assholes with "words."
I'm already on every list of who's going to get a knock on the door when the cattlecars are spun up, but I'll die before being put in a camp hoping "words" will save me.
We let a rapist with pending cases for interfering in an election run for president, and subsequently win.
We're cooked.
