    While I do agree with your sentiment you must realize these people have been lied to. Try watching 24 hours of Fox News and see what their worldview is. Now imagine this is all the news media someone who is disabled may consume.

    Your anger is justified, but it is perhaps misdirected in this scenario.

      No point trying to reason with shitlibs, they’re god’s perfect little angels and can do and say nothing wrong. Marginalized people only deserve respect when they Vote Blue No Matter Who, and you should regularly shit on marginalized people who didn’t completely unprompted to own the right

      would be cooler if they’d do anything to actually own the right instead of letting them dismantle the government (': fun how liberals are literally physically incapable of ever learning from their mistakes and always stick one step to the left of fascism. Because again, they can do no wrong and are completely flawless and epic and smart and stuff

      Tired of hearing this excuse. Trump lied his entire first term. Verifiably. Anyone who believed that the second would be any different shouldn’t be voting–I don’t care the circumstances.

      We’re looking at the dissolution of our democracy for all time and you want me to not hold these people accountable because they were “lied to?” That’s just stupid. The same kind of apathy that caused this situation to begin with.

        I think you are missing what I am saying. These people don’t believe Trump has ever lied. I am serious about Fox News which is the most popular news station in America. For every lie they have an excuse and their own spin. If all you watch is Fox, which is quite common for a lot of people, you don’t know about any of the bad stuff Trump has done.

        You know better, they don’t. Blaming them for their own ignorance is a luxury you are allowed because you see the truth. The answer is not to blame them, but to educate them. Unfortunately this is almost impossible when they have constant propaganda rammed down their throats.

        I think you may be blaming the victim here in your anger. This does not solve the problem however cathartic it may be. I don’t pretend to have the answers either, but my perspective is a lot more nuanced than yours.

          Must be nice to live in your world where you can vote to take other’s rights away and when they start taking your rights away you get to act surprised and people online will defend your actions because hey, you were lied to by the guy who’s specifically known for being a liar. You can totally vote to hurt others, and people will defend your actions online! It’s totally fine. /s

            I see that you are hurt, but lashing out at everyone is not helping. We probably agree on everything except blaming misinformed voters for their actions. We can agree to disagree here.
