Not to sound like a Twitter wokescold or whatever, but Shaun does this all the time. A cishet white guy from England who won’t be affected in any way by the outcome of the U.S. election, yet constantly tweets and retweets about how the Democrats and Republicans are totally equally bad and voting makes no difference.

But when we look at what Republicans are doing and saying like…

  • Trump saying he’ll be a “dictator for one day”

  • His lawyers arguing that a president killing an opponent should be considered an official act protected by law

  • The potential Republican vice-candidate bragging about shooting a puppy and other farm animals

  • Reports that DeSantis enjoyed torturing people at Guantanamo

  • Multiple Republican politicians and pundits calling for the eradication of trans people

I think this take doesn’t hold up. It’s no coincidence that many of the people with this mentality are also the ones who’ll be minimally affected by a Republican presidency, if at all.

I agree with everything here except giving air to an annoying ass term like “wokescold”. That’s just something invented to try and reverse (completely justified usually) shaming
