I was gonna title this "And here I sit so patiently waiting to find out what price you have to pay to get out of going through all these things twice" and then write "Stuck inside of America with the fascism blues again" here, but I'm not sure if that comes off like gloating and that's honestly the last thing I want to do this morning.
I saw someone else on here put it perfectly, Democrats feel entitled to votes. They think that because they are logically the lesser evil, not voting for them is wrong. They don't even consider that American elections are not about logic, and are nearly entirely about emotions. They don't feel the need to make their constituents feel heard because they think their constituents are idiots if they don't vote for them. They don't even stop to realize that they are still an evil.
Seeing some of that entitlement in these threads has been, frankly, infuriating. Blue MAGA is the right term, they act identically to Trump supporters. It's everyone's fault but Harris'.
I've been saying the entitlement thing since the midterms! You're not entitled to someone's vote just because the other option is fascism.
And this entitlement has turned a large part of eligible voters apathetic. What difference does it make if you vote if you're always just voting for the lesser evil? If you're never actually represented in the people you're forced to choose between?
If you're going to be fucked either way, what difference does it make if the party in power is fascist or not?
And yep, plenty of people today telling me I'm the problem, despite the fact I voted for Harris. I just am also not naive enough to think the average American should be impressed by the lackluster campaign she just ran, and the Democrats botched on the whole.
I never voted for Trump each time I was able to vote. Not once did it ever cross my mind.
And somehow we're the evil people for wanting meaningful promises that improve the lives that fascism tempts. Never once voted for a Trump and since 2020, never voted for a Republican locally, I always skip the blanket primary when I can, since "I can promise you're not totally crazy" isn't a thing anymore.
When I ask "Why are we supporting these bad polices that Bush started?" I'm accused of being a useful idiot. When I ask "Why did we stop COVID protections and doing tests? Isn't that what Trump wanted?" I'm called a Russian bot. At some point I just learned:
I give up. Democrats don't want answers and polices, they just wanna be "Not the current evil guy."
It really does feel like that. "Vote for lesser evil" but do nothing to be less evil.
Blue MAGA was a joke that became reality. There's several people more angry at "I was entitled to more votes!" than Trump winning the votes and ending everything else.
