I hate to say it, but it's kind of right in a way. Those of us who knew right from wrong and let it slide by because the wrong was coming from our family and friends and loved ones and we ignored it long enough to fester to the point we have a full on nazi party again. It's not our fault these people are vile soulless creatures, but it's our fault for doing nothing about all the obvious signs that have been present for decades.
I wasn't. I was trying to educate the people around me, but they didn't want to be educated. They wouldn't listen. Hell, my grandparents swore they wouldn't vote for Trump again and did it anyway. What was I supposed to do, take them out back and put em out of their misery?
I mean, cutting all ties isn't unreasonable in my mind when it's Nazi rhetoric.
That's not something I have the freedom to do right now, unfortunately. I'm working on it, though tbh, they're pretty old. I kinda doubt they're gonna make it more than 4yrs. The other Trump voters, though? Yeah. Fuck 'em.
But you get what I'm saying, it's not about you or me, it's about us collectively being complacent. The left sat on their hands.
