      It’s common for the people who support leopards eating faces to not even recognize the leopard when it is their own face which has been eaten. They point to someone whose face they want to be eaten by a leopard and then blame them for it. I hope I didn’t get too lost in the metaphor here.

        Yeah… I know they’ll blame someone else. That won’t save them though, will it? Their face still got eaten. At this point, I’ll take that.

              Those people need legitimate cult deprogramming. The reason they haven’t learned anything in 8 years is because their cult leaders have lied to them on every issue and convinced them that everything wrong is because of the liberals.

              This is the danger of the echo chambers the internet has created.

              The point I was trying to make with that is they will continue to actively screw over themselves and everyone else but the oligarchy, again and again and again. I don’t take glee in this futility because the consequences are dire, even for the hubristic. If they got just a pie in the face or something merely unflattering, sure, laugh it up; but if somebody is dying because they can’t get the health care they need, or they lose their home because the economy tanked, or their friend gets deported, etc., because of what they enthusiastically voted for, then that is tragic, and this tragedy is manifold by the repetition of their inability to recognize what they have done.

                I’m done. My empathy has run out. It’s become strikingly clear to anyone who’s been paying attention that these people have no ability to reason. Until something directly affects them, they do not care. So, let it affect them. I will no longer protect those who only wish to hurt others from their own actions. They’ll learn, or they’ll ruin their own lives too. I’ll take either one at this point.

      My joy at their inevitable self inflicted suffering is somewhat overshadowed by the way they seem to actually be happy with the results. I don’t think they’re going to regret this, I think we are.

      To these people it’s fine if they get fucked as long as the person they don’t like gets fucked harder. It’s insane.

      It’s all Obama’s Hillary’s emails Pizzagate’s Hunter Biden’s Laptop Biden’s fault. If Biden hadn’t got in the way of Trump’s beautiful perfect plan that is the most perfect in the history of the universe, then his policies would have resulted in paradise on earth for his voters. But of course Biden and the Democrats messed it all up, so you better be sure to vote Red again next election!

      And I can’t wait to tell them shut the fuck up you voted for this! I hope every one of us does that.

        If they experience even a fraction of the heartbreak and despair they’ve caused, I’ll be happy.
