It actually still amazes me every time I am like a goldfish. Just so fucking blatant this time like they just have a blinking billboard above their heads saying "we are genocidal freaks and we hate you please give us money please please please". An absolute show of the trauma bond they have with white liberals.
The fact that liberals can still feel they have a moral high ground is incredible to me. Just insane levels of contradiction.
Like legitimately, even Obama was probably more deadly and bloodthirsty than Trump across the globe. Dick Cheney, HRC, and it's not even a contest. I am afraid of Trump, but I'm fucking terrified of the Clintons, the Bushes and the Cheneys. Trump simply doesn't have the connections those ghouls have that has allowed them to destroy entire countries and kill millions of civilians.
This is why I've never given any thought to the harm reduction argument of voting for Dems. They HAVE caused more harm already.
EDIT: This stems from the frustration of talking to people irl, not online, about these contradictions. If you are going to say "we believe in facts" then let's look at the numbers. They plug their ears, they don't want to hear the real horrors or liberalism.
the people you talk to irl are still spending more hours in a given day getting information about the world filtered through English-language TV news and facebook than anywhere else. it's easy for people to passively repeat what they believe everyone else already thinks, even if "everyone else" is actually just a small minority of the world's wealthiest people paying extraordinary amounts of money to ensure that their opinion is repeated verbatim 24/7 on every screen around you.
