So if the fascist are in charge does that mean you just give up? No resistance? No civil war? Just hand America over to the fascists?

... No resistance? No civil war?

Who's going to be on my side? Trump won the popular vote. Think we can rely on ppl that can't even bother to vote to come actually put their lives in peril for a cause? Who would I fight with and what in the fuck are we even fighting for?

I'll be in the fight anyway, as soon as there actually is one, but Americans will need to wake the fuck up before that's possible.

I mean if liberals weren't so willing to through palestinians under the genocide train maybe you'd have some support? start but recanting your behavior with your community. go and support people in it and you'll be surprised.

You're talking out of your ass. You don't know me or what I do for my community and you're being pretty self righteous. So listen here:

Too late for any of this to matter, as I've said. Blame liberals. Blame Democrats. Trump is in power. Now it gets worse for everyone. Maybe you'll enjoy the revenge of watching American liberals suffer. Maybe it will outweigh the additional suffering to the Palestinians in your mind.

Personally, I was never a big fan of Biden or Kamala but I voted for both of them out of necessity. I didn't agree with Israel's response to the Hamas attack. I wish Biden had taken a stand. Kamala would have been better but not great. Trump is far, far worse.

Too many Americans are ignorant to the binary choice they have and they threw their vote away. Too many Americans are either hateful or gullible enough to vote for Trump. Too many are just lazy or not interested. All that ignorance and anger has given power to a narcissist fascist, who loves, I mean loves Israel. He's in charge of a vast arsenal and the halfway serious people from his last administration won't have anything to do with him this time. This time he's only appointing loyalists, just like a fascist.

Trump's going to deport anyone he can from the US right away. Israel will do whatever they want with blessings and help. Trump will try to cling to power for more than four years. The next election might not count (Putin style, Trump's buddy). This may get worse for some time to come.

Support cuts both ways and the sane people left in America got none of it this election. Now we all face the consequences.

I like how instead of taking the sound advice to reach out within your community for support you take offense and try to rationalize your support for genocide. enjoy trump you've certainly earned him. makes popcorn

makes popcorn

You are heartless and ignorant and I regret wasting the effort of typing that all out.

[–] Rhoeri@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago

Isn’t that what you did when you chose not to vote?

[–] WhatYouNeed@lemmy.world 0 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Civil war? What kind of shit talk is this?

Sound like you're rooting for that clusterfuck of an option.

[–] NoIWontPickAName@kbin.earth 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Better to fight the civil war than to just roll over for them

[–] WhatYouNeed@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Better to not roll over AND not start a civil war.

[–] NoIWontPickAName@kbin.earth 1 points 3 days ago

Agreed, but if you gotta take on the other, which one do you pick?
