What's that proverb, "tell me who your friends are"?
That.
Trump's friends are Peter Thiel and VV Putin.
No fucking shit.
Oh yeah, I forgot, some of you can only see the world in ~~black and white~~ red or blue.. 🙄
News flash: a (very fucking marginally) lesser evil is still fucking evil, and you're never going to be free of either as long as you continue to play by the rules they've set out for you (in fact, you'll only ever achieve the opposite - the continued shift to the right of the Overton window to its inevitable conclusion).
And yet you have done nothing to promote any alternative; so your faux outrage is, in fact, useless.
I do, plenty, but there's only so much time and emotional labour one can waste presenting anarchism to smug libs that think electoral politics can beat fascism and can't even see how they're being played in to upholding the status quo that is enabling the rise of fascism with just an illusion of choice, because the people you're talking to aren't actually listening, they just want their bias confirmed and ego coddled, not an alternative, especially not one that requires them to look outside the box they've been indoctrinated in to, challenge their understanding of the world and their own actions and all the discomfort that comes with that, and act in a way that might risk the privilege the status quo and those who actually benefit from it grants them to keep them in line, demonstrating just how well it works. ¯\(ツ)/¯
