It's funny, they're not even "with them" to the extent that they even exist. I remember when Texas was frozen the libs were ecstatic that poor rural people were gonna freeze to death.

Yup, I remember another instance of libs gloating about how the people in some red state deserved to suffer for voting for Trump

Had any of the over 100 libs who had commented on that story actually read what had happened they would know that the people they were so sure were getting what they deserved were actually poor and black

probably the East Palestine chemical spill disaster

[-] [email protected] 20 points 9 months ago

Thats sad and gross. National politics is all for show anyways.

[-] [email protected] 18 points 9 months ago

a bunch of these types in an .ml post about Texas running out of water was doing the same thing just a couple weeks ago I was pretty disgusted. I commented like you guys know that in Texas all the minorities you pretend to care about, together added up are more than the Texas honky population in general, let alone the specifically MAGA suburbanites and bourgeois ones? Blue MAGA indeed

Wtf happened to the online left anyways? A lot of spaces that were super left are now just completely radlib.

[-] [email protected] 14 points 9 months ago

are you sure they were super left or is it more that your thinking has evolved?

i ask bc i always felt like a lot of the online left was radlib.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

Good point. I also feel like the last 4-5 years have collectively unveiled a lot on where people in the leftsphere actually stand.

it's 3, looking at it now that's actually every reply but my own, not including the upvotes in agreement.

"it's only a few guys being murderous sociopaths toward civilians in their country's suffering due to blue maga essentialization" is not really the defense you think it is, nor one worth making.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

I am not saying that it isn't a major problem on the left I was just expecting more from your phrasing.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago

It's not. it might be only a few annoying accounts going out of their way to do it, but try living in a red state and criticizing a liberal online and you'll quite often get told how you're a "dumb redneck" crypto-Trump supporter. it doesn't even take much to get them to start spouting that bullshit. the only thing the conservatives are correct about is liberals are very annoying and condescending.

[-] [email protected] 39 points 9 months ago

lol every metro area in the south is stuffed full of dem yard signs, nobody gives a fuck

[-] [email protected] 24 points 9 months ago

Maybe in metro areas, but the small town I live in has a game shop that has/had LGBT+ safe space and mask required signs, and apparently people have come in brandishing guns demanding they take them down. Evidently no one ever got hurt, but the vitriol is definitely there. They probably supported Hillary as I bet they're a bunch of libs, but I guess they didn't advertise that.

[-] [email protected] 17 points 9 months ago

And libs are the types to "condemn politicial violence no matter what" even if its in retaliation or in self defense to one of these chuds doing something violent.

[-] [email protected] 35 points 9 months ago

“We support progressives in red states.”

Then how about you allow your in-demand cities to build more housing so us “dumb hicks” from red states can move into your fancy pants progressive cities? I’d love to live in NYC and be relatively confident I don’t run into a chud.

[-] [email protected] 29 points 9 months ago

Sorry, they're too busy gentrifying everywhere between NYC and Albany so the whole state becomes as unaffordable as the city and increasing the police budget

[-] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago

Is this a yimby take on Hexbear? Are the tides finally shifting?

[-] [email protected] 17 points 9 months ago

The "yimby" take is not mutually exclusive with he socialist take on housing

Well they didn't say anything about deregulation so idk. It is a short-sighted take in regards to the housing/housless crisis already effecting locals in those urban centers.

[-] [email protected] 28 points 9 months ago

I drove around with a bernie sticker back in 2020 and nobody gave a shit

[-] [email protected] 36 points 9 months ago

Bernie was the most liked politician in the country at the time, fwiw. He had net favorability even among Republicans.

[-] [email protected] 39 points 9 months ago

Dems: we need to appeal to centrist republican voters

Bernie: yo I can do that

Dems: lol go away

[-] [email protected] 18 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Maybe it was a fever dream, but can someone confirm if there were some liberals that were discussing the progressive case for Trump when it looked like Bernie would win in 2020?

Point is, libs would rather lose to Trump than win with Bernie.

[-] [email protected] 13 points 9 months ago

Damn those three weeks or so in 2020 were an insane high. Then.super tuesday AND COVID hit like a motherfucker.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 9 months ago

Very possible.

I don't remember anymore but I still know Trump supporters who think Trump is progressive on economic issues.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

Most economically progressive president of our lives! He literally sent us checks with his name on it. Licked the stamps himself because he loves America

[-] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago

I kinda remember that too. Or maybe it was just people like us prophesying based on how the UK reacted to Corbyn. A lot of that time is mired in a haze to me.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago

If that happened it's probably in the NYT op-ed backlog.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 9 months ago

I risked my life with this Bernie bumper sticker man!!!!

[-] [email protected] 23 points 9 months ago

Libs and chuds both do this. They act like the political system is against them. Then they'll happily :smuglord: leftists about how leftists should be grateful to be living under such freedom offered by liberal "democracy"

[-] [email protected] 11 points 9 months ago

"You're lucky we don't kill you, get back to making your boss money"

[-] [email protected] 21 points 9 months ago

The same reason they think project 2025 is going to result in Emperor Trump and that armed men will round up all minorities at gunpoint. Pure fantasy from a country that’s never had to deal with the dictators their country regularly puts into power.

[-] [email protected] 17 points 9 months ago

Meanwhile Eric Adams in NYC is running the city like a fascist police state and no one cares.

[-] [email protected] 11 points 9 months ago

I care. Fuck that guy

[-] [email protected] 21 points 9 months ago

tbf though I probably wouldn't fly a Hillary flag in the south.

[-] [email protected] 31 points 9 months ago

The only appropriate place to fly a Hillary flag is the 7th circle of hell.

[-] [email protected] 13 points 9 months ago

What about Cedar Rapids?

[-] [email protected] 20 points 9 months ago

I walked through blood and bone to plant my Kamala yard sign. Turns out I was in Lebanon at the time...

Every Hitler party follower, regardless of preference for red or blue Hitler, should be free to display their genocide merch PROUDLY. Resist!

[-] [email protected] 16 points 9 months ago

These are the same people who think Texas is going to vote blue.

[-] [email protected] 12 points 9 months ago

They blew that opportunity when they snubbed Bernie.

[-] [email protected] 14 points 9 months ago

"First they came for our brunches..."

[-] [email protected] 11 points 9 months ago

The desire to be persecuted is a cultural remnant of kkkristianity

[-] [email protected] 8 points 9 months ago

Now imagine if everybody who looked at you had the same feelings as they do towards your sign you can choose to take down.

Tearing up as I hide away my Strasser pin. my day will come
