Americans after one bad election: “Everyone in the whole history of the world is trash and we should all be exterminated”

No I’ve recognized the virus-like existence of humans for the bulk of my 43 years. We have the capacity to do better, but don’t and that’s what makes us so fucking awful.

No one thinks they’re a bad person, but bad people exist.

So do most of the people who vote (or don’t vote) for this shit. Maybe we should stop focusing so much on how much everyone else sucks and start trying to help each other.

People giving up is what got us into this position.

Person is singular and people is plural.

More a series of ongoing failures, whittling away of freedoms, vilification of the “other” (chosen targets periodically changing), and willful ignorance spread over decades. Just seems more focused these days and across more than the US.

Dickheads who lack the media literacy to realise that Agent Smith was, in fact, the bad guy.

The best bad guys are those who actually kind of have a point there, hm.

For Trump, cruelty is the point.

Agent Smith is a stand-in for fascism. He does not “kind of have a point”.

Eh, one bad election? Have you been under a rock? Do people forget 2016? And all the smaller elections in between then and now? Millions of us are losing basic human rights for a while now.

Do people forget 2016?

Yes. That’s how Trump wins in 2024.

Millions of us are losing basic human rights for a while now.

The eugenists insisting that humanity is failed and we need a grand culling to fix it are at the forefront of that effort.
