used and bruised but still cocky

repeat after me:

The problem is that America has beaten down its people for decades and gotten them weak and desperate and now promises a way out, a way to transcend and rise above, through selling out their fellow man. They encourage contempt and hatred as one way ticket to not being included with the masses being death marched to poverty or imprisonment or whatever other bitter end surely awaits the people they’re told are beneath them. An embarrassingly large chunk of white men are just straight up nazis these days as a way to dissociate from the rest of the carnage around them, even if they’re broke and uneducated and from an impoverished background themselves. They’ll vote for and align themselves with anything for a taste of power and control that makes them feel a little less helpless. The same goes for minorities. They’ll punch down if they think it’ll get them somewhere, even if in reality they’re punching sideways. I don’t know what else to say, really. Everybody is so incredibly hateful. We are a loveless, disrespectful nation. We are so spread thin by our government that we would sell each other out in a heartbeat for an ounce of relief. This is what we’ve come to.

right? like usually there is so much ambient misogyny you think ‘oh, i know everyone hates women i am not surprisable i have been around the block’

I think. It is enormously enormously frustrating to endure the leftist rhetoric about voting third party, single issue voting, “both candidates are just as bad,” “Kamala is a cop,” “it’s not worth voting,” etc. all over social media for months and months and knowing that the trump cultists, meanwhile, will turn up in swarms to vote red down the ballot regardless of anything Trump says or does.

i call this the headcanon chart. see my vision
