Sometimes I miss the 2016 version of myself, where I would get a mild dopamine boost about funny jokes about the orange man, or seeing a celebrity endorse my favorite DNC war criminal - blissfully unaware of global politics, war, and genocide.
My experience was being pretty much radicalized by 2009 after Obama’s Wall St cabinet appointments, but having nowhere for that consciousness to go and just becoming alienated from politics until Trump, then still not having been exposed to anything left of Rachael Maddow, I started at lib and instantly moved left the instant I found anything else. For me it was a thread to pull rather than a pipeline.
CMV: the failures of democrats can be directly correlated to libs being cringe af and making anyone with any self awareness check out of politics.
I think it’s the other way around. Democrats failure to do anything for the people who support them has forced libs to focus on the cringe stuff.
If Democrats had done some meaningful things and people really believed they had an intent to do good policy, a lot of these people would be talking about that. They know all that Democrats can give them is smug superiority and symbolic victories over the bad orange man.
i’ve heard folks around me saying they want to go back to not having to pay attention to politics. the brunch meme is real
I heard it from a friend who, heard it from a friend who, heard it from a friend TRUMP IS STEALING THE ELECTION!!!
Me now whenever I see shit like this
