I wild rather the left and right fight their common enemy. We can go back to bickering with each other after the dust settles.
Nah, those voters said they prefer suffering and anger instead of love and understanding. They burned that bridge. Now that they don't like their choice of president doesn't mean that agree that trans lives matter. Now that they are finding out after fucking around doesn't mean they have no hang ups about race. They are still hateful, shitty people and no amount of love or understanding will make them share love and understanding too. They need to burn in the fires of the reality they have elected for themselves.
You're making very valid points. I can't deny that.
I just think it's a waste of energy lashing out at maggots. They're tools, but not the true enemy. I won't cry if they become coIIateral dam age though.
You'd have to convince the right that billionaires are the enemy first, and the right only gets their news from those billionaires.
That is the sad truth.
This is why I've always maintained the distinction between conservatives and Republicans. Not all conservatives are Republicans, but all Republicans are toe the party line goose steppers. And there can be no compromise with fascists or white supremacists.
As my grandfather and first boss both would say when you asked them who they were voting for, "I'm a Republican. I vote for the nominee." Doesn't matter if it's Reagan, Stalin, Hitler, or Karl Marx risen from the grave to destroy the spectre of capitalism once and for all, so long as they have an R beside their name, that's all that matters.
