They probably sleep sounder than you.

We need to be thinking about how 77 million Americans voted for Trump and thought that was a good idea.
And we need to work out how to prevent it from happening again.
One thing is clear, billionaires and politicians are unwilling to relinquish power or wealth, even when their holdings are obscene or they are incapable of governing.
We will have to threaten either their lives or the structures on which their holdings depend, and can't bluff. And they will likely choose death over surrender.
We won't prevent it until people learn to start talking to each other with compassion instead of hostility. As it stands, both sides think the other side is completely insane, and to some extent violent, and that they should not be associated with unless you are harassing them.
We've already burned the whole bridge down, and now need to rebuild it somehow. If republicans and democrats were separated geographically they might just split the country in two, but as it stands nearly every state has a large population of both, so in my opinion the only way forward is reconciliation.
I'm ex republican. Higher education and having my life ripped apart by our state's AG fixed me... barely. Compassion won't fix these people. They fucking suck to their core and would rather die than change their opinions. I don't have a good solution. Platforming the stupid in our country is a large part of the problem.
Fun fact: everyone who didn't vote for Hitler made it through the war with a 100% clean conscience, and did not regret any other inactions. /s
Reminder that Hitler lost the election. The liberals endorsed a conservative candidate in the name of unity, who won, and proceeded to staff the government with Nazis and made Hitler chancellor, in the name of unity.
The left, cursed with Casandra Syndrome, campaigned on "A vote for Hindenburg is a vote for Hitler is a vote for war."
In the end, many of them did end up supporting Hindenburg. But liberals will always see the left as a greater threat than fascists.
these manufacturing guilt posts would work if we were not seeing dnc sabotage mamadani to favour predatory stooges just like trump. the “blue no matter what” is only for trash candidates that superpacs want. everytime we get close to a leader that we want like bernie or aoc or mamdani, dnc shows they work for the trumps not against them.
i am not a violent person so pls suggest how we can help get aoc elected in 2029 without doing a luigi on likes of pelosi and schumer ?
They want this. Look at this post from their perspective and it makes you look like joke to them.
I'm not saying this as an insult...
Know thy enemy.
Didn’t vote for it isn’t good enough. 90M people didn’t vote. We needed 2M more to vote against it. Remember this when the midterms come around next fall.
Had a discussion with my wife's parents the other day. They thought it was hilarious. They laughed, alternating between mockery of the poor and "nobody helped me so everybody should suffer!"
She said maybe it's time to go no-contact.
