I get you’re mad that Trump won, but you’re blaming the wrong people.

Yes. This but unironically.

Tell me, throughout history, how often have atrocities, mass slaughter, and genocide been claimed at the time to be justified on the basis of self-preservation? Say, "securing a future for our white children," for example. Out of those, how many times have the people saying, "better them than us" or "the ends justify the means" actually been on the right side of history?

It blows my mind how genuinely prone to evil Americans are, as a culture. There are people who have actually experienced the horrors of war, watched their houses burned down, watched their loved ones die, who still refuse to turn to something as evil as genocide as a solution. Do you really think this is the first time anyone's faced that choice? But liberals, supposed enlightened progressives, sitting comfortably on their couches worried that they might have to deal with a shitty politician for the next four years, will immediately jump on board with being Hitlerites if it means they can go back to brunch instead of doomscrolling. Like, y'all don't even consider Trump bad enough to actually start opposing the US government and treating it as an enemy. I can only imagine what horrors and atrocities you'd resort to if you were ever actually faced with bombs dropping outside your homes. If you were put into the body of a Palestinian, you'd be criticizing Hamas as being too moderate and restrained.

I'll go to my grave before I vote for genocide, and nothing anyone says or does will ever make me budge, and you'd best remember that because if you wanna blame me for Kamala losing, know that I'll fucking do it again.

There was an opportunity for change, and we went for it. We're less noisy about it now because the opportunity has passed- squandered by folks like you.

"But but genocide joe, such a catchy name! Why do I have to think further than some meme?" -💩

What's this, a sudden influx of votes and comments that visibly oppose the votes and comments that came from the intended community, made apparent by older, lower-visibility comments such as those under folds having completely opposite positions and ratings? Why that almost sounds like a brigade! Surely not, we left those behind on Reddit, right?
