  • I’m often extremely frustrated with liberals, but I can’t really hate them, at least not the regular non-politician types. Trump’s victory has put many liberals in a state of despair and anger and I understand that perfectly well, but their anger is often misdirected. Some are taking the election loss to mean that they need to move further right. The consultants and newspaper opinion writers, etc. do a lot to legitimize this point of view, and it’s a shame. Propaganda works, and we’re not immune to it. I feel I have more to gain by treating these liberals with respect and compassion. (I don’t always succeed, though!)

    There are some liberals I can’t stand, mostly politicians and consultants. I definitely hate the openly misanthropic right wing people more, and there are a lot more of them.







  • These people can’t stop shadowboxing with people who supposedly withheld their votes. It’s weird. How many people who otherwise would have voted for Kamala stayed home because of their ongoing support of the genocide in Gaza? Do we even know? And if it was the decisive issue causing the Democratic defeat, what is the political lesson learned?

    I can’t help but feel this understandable anger is completely misdirected. Or, maybe they support what is going on in Gaza and they’re annoyed that a critical part of their voting coalition felt otherwise?
