Yeah because I'm not going to vote for Orange Dipshit doesn't mean Biden lying and breaking promises is somehow valid and cool and good. Blue MAGA is awesome!
"Yes the genocide in Palestine is horrible ~~but at least it's not me~~"
There's always an implied ending to that statement.
I'm convinced that a lot of their willingness to close their eyes to just how atrocious things like the Palestinian genocide and Mexican border camps are is fueled by racism.
White liberals being racist? Shit man, is the pope catholic?
You know what? I'd be okay with that. At least they should be honest about it.
I totally get voting for Biden due to self interest. It sucks. But I get it. Self-preservation and all that.
But don't pretend he's the lesser evil. He's just the evil that benefits you and not someone else.
You'd be ok with white American liberals thinking their lives are more important than those of brown people? I'm not ok with that.
I mean, people are looking out for their own self interest in general. I think that's horrible and it needs addressing.
But it's the hypocrisy that really gets me when it comes to liberals.
Their whole worldview is destroying us and the planet. Hypocrisy is bad, but there are far worse things about liberalism in my opinion.
Remove the hypocrisy, and you have overt fascists. I'd not call that much of an improvement.
Fair enough
I agree with you though that the hypocrisy is also troubling. The hypocrisy is what they use to persuade people that they're on "their side," so to speak. That's why I always make it a point to highlight the fact that they're not our allies. We're only tactically useful to them.
I don't see blue maga, it seems like OOP doesn't like Biden either. All I see is someone pleading for the least bad (and realistic) option in the election.
You know, if Biden were to (somehow) win in November, it would be interesting to see the "vote blue no matter who" crowd try to explain away Biden (inevitably) doubling-down on his support for Israel's genocide to a far greater degree than he is doing now.
Wishful thinking on my part, I suppose. The liberals will simply do what they always do - go to sleep as soon as they have a lib in the Waffle House and pretend US foreign policy has (magically) changed because of it.
I predict that they would double down on denying Biden's willful role in continuing funding for a genocide and offer some convoluted mental gymnastics for why "he has no choice" but to do so.
I base this prediction on how they responded in 2021 when he extended the wall and opened more concentration camps at the Mexican border. Even then, they were acting like it was justified as long as it was Biden doing it instead of Trump.
Cultlike behavior tbh
