    when republicans lose elections they blame the system or the woke mind virus or immigrants

    when democrats lose elections they blame their own base

    thats the difference

      Yeah their whole belief system was just utterly shredded. They’re reeling without any solid ground to stand on, they have no idea what happened or why.

    In case you’re wondering just how much this guy sucks

    https://www.yahoo.com/news/im-atheist-israel-hamas-war-102320046.html

    And calls from the progressive left for a cease-fire because there have been more Palestinian casualties than Israeli casualties is a bizarre false equivalency that would argue that the penalty for robbing a bank of $500 should be a $500 fine. Israel’s response to the Hamas attack is designed to prevent future attacks, not create a tit for tat that would promote a never-ending state of danger with a terrorist organization whose goal is to finish what Adolf Hitler started.

      True, the penalty for robbing a bank should be levelling the entire neighborhood the robbers lived in. The deaths of the neighbors is the robbers fault, because he was using them as human shields

      • The fact that he brings up a hypothetical bank robbery for his god awful analogy just highlights why I fucking hate the human shields narrative

        No one would accept it if that excuse was used by cops who responded to a bank robbery even if the robbers were literally using people as human shields

        Anyone who’s willing to shoot through a “human shield” is just a fucking murderer

        Like if I was in a situation where a genuinely bad guy was hiding behind a child I would simply not shoot at the child

          No they would, this is where the concept of “Stockholm Syndrome” comes from. There was a bank robbery in Stockholm. The robbers took hostages. The cops and government decided that killing eveyrone to save capitalism was a good idea. The hostages had to negotiate with the government on the robber’s behalf to keep the government from killing everyone, and some of them actually became friends with the robbers.

          Afterwards a psychologist who never spoke to anyone involved decided the only explanation was, pardon my french, “Bitches be crazy” and shat out the idea that the women had fallen in love with their captors because of some incomprehensible mysogynist farting noises.

          Everyone forgot where the concept came from but the idea that stuck and now people believe that if hostages get released thinking their captors had good points it can be safely written off as a mental health problem.

    Yes, the voters suck, but that’s all of them, not just the Trump ones. Every voter has been ignoring a genocide going on for the last year that their country is arming. That should’ve been the first sign that this country and the people in aren’t good, that the people are selfish, that they are primed for fascism.

    You dont care about the Palestinians? Well the Trump voters don’t care about their mothers, daughters, wives, immigrants, minorities, or trans people. It’s the exact same strain of selfishness, just evolved, but it comes from that same seed. Sucks, doesn’t it?

      The thing is that the Democrats didn’t care about mothers, daughters, wives, immigrants, minorities, or trans people either… They just pretend to because they have to take the opposing message in their relationship to the other half of their party
