honestly I think trump or any republican in office is the better outcome solely for the fact that it mobilizes liberals to actually give a fuck about the horrors the U.S. is perpetrating both at home and abroad

they turn into absolute mindless sleepwalking sheep whenever a democrat is in office and are willing to debase themselves and others to no end to defend even their most egregious offenses

Maybe a republican in office will result in those offenses being worse but at least liberals will give a shit about them.

i don't feel strongly enough about this to go vote for trump but it's the main reason I really don't give a single fucking fuck about the election. I watched these people turn off their brains the moment Biden was inaugurated, if they were ever on to begin with

Yeah as soon as Trump gets into office we're going to hear all the liberals actually start calling it a genocide and echo what we've been saying since October 7th. Suddenly they'll start giving a fuck when it's Trump shipping Israel a boatload of weapons every 36 hours.

it's so fucking wild knowing that this is how it is, but then these people get off calling leftists brainwashed? like we watch them react like this in real time over and over and over and over

I like Trump because he does not engage on strategic ambiguance, he will do the same wicked shit Biden does but the difference is that he will boast about it.

With Trump, liberals can no longer hide behind rhetoric and are forced to face material reality.
