It's gotten outright infuriating that people keep blaming government for bad initiatives that are solely the fault of Republicans.

Getting real tired of people blaming "both sides" for everything bad the government does as if it's some sort of morally or intellectually superior viewpoint. It's a thought-ending cliche.

Sure, both sides are drone-striking warmongers. Both sides are basically owned by corporations.

But only one side is welcoming literal flag-waving Nazis into their midst and working to deport legal citizens and immigrants. Only one side is fighting to take food away from children in schools. Only one side is trying to take healthcare away from senior citizens. Only one side is trying to create a Christian white ethno-state.

People try to accuse the left of trying to stifle freedom-of-speech, yet Trump is the one spreading rhetoric about wanting to jail journalists for daring to speak up against him.

  > blaming government for bad initiatives that are solely the fault of Republicans
its like that by design; the worse things get the more reactionary people become, and the more likely they will vote for people who decry it loudly...

Except they voted for the guy that lied and lied and lied. Whatever happened to the immigrants eating cats and dogs in Ohio? Nothing, that's what. It was bald-faced lie. And people believed it and still voted for the insurrectionist. The problem with this country is low-IQ, hateful, spiteful voters.

i have no idea if people actually believed it or just wanted what they wanted and ignored it (cognitive dissonance?) but like most recent elections the votes of the battleground states is the decider, and like 2016, issues there were not appreciated sufficiently and we got what we got... people are spiteful and ignorant but they've didn't have to win this time or last imo
