Rapist, fascist, racist, insurrectionist, pedophile, felon, conman, serial liar… Why sell him short? All that stuff was well known BEFORE the election. That’s why I don’t have any respect for those who now claim they “made a mistake”.

Every one of us has voted for a rapist. Power fucks people up.

I think by cutting off contact/dialogue, you’re really hurting someone who could benefit from your better views. You shouldn’t ever remove your ability to provide charity by simple thought exchange.

Harris probably would have lost in any case, but in retrospect I wonder if she would have had a better chance if, of course, Biden dropped out sooner; and instead of the lame, “they’re so weird!” angle, if she had leveraged her time in criminal justice to press hard on the fact that Trump is a fucking criminal. Like seriously, criminal vs prosecutor. The narrative could have written itself.

Sure, continue dividing your country into two sides. Let’s see how that will make everything okay.

I don’t fully agree. Of course it’s problematic that people voted for trump, that’s out of the question. But the question should rather be: What circumstances led to someone voting for trump? People are actually struggling a lot and voting for the person advertising a solution can seem very attractive if you desperately need an improvement. In the end, voting doesn’t fix the underlying system and can only achieve marginal improvements. All Parties are only managing the same capitalistic state and not changing the whole system. Ostracizing people based on their vote is not a proper solution and will not lead to people voting for someone different. People are more likely to reinforce their existing beliefs if met with heavy resistance. Also the party war is distracting from the actual class war. Maybe I took the meme too seriously but I think it’s important to consider. No War But Class War! Edit: Maybe don’t hang out with them, but analyze the reasons that made them vote in the way they did. People who voted for trump probably have the same problems with capitalism that you do but their anger is misguided by populism and capitalist propaganda.

Hell no. This should’ve been normalized in 2016. Probably long before that even.

the silver lining of being a very queer trans person is no one who voted for him wants to hang out with me anyway, so i dont end up running into them in my social circles. they might want to fuck me though, which is weird dichotomy…

Honestly I’ll cut them out and won’t even explain why. I haven’t spoken to my extremely racist cousin in years. Every now and then he tries to contact me, but I don’t say anything. There’s a small part of me that wants to believe he could change, but then I remember he named his doberman the n word and yelled at it constantly.
