someone check in on your Blue MAGA friends and family ππ
post had like 20k likes btw. found it because my mom's retired boomer friend always shows up on my suggestions, she rt'd it and said she had "sobbed" herself.
kinda feel bad for some of the delusion but holy shit lmao
They kept rolling Feinstein out even when she clearly had no idea where or who she was.
They're doing it to McConnell too.
As much as I hate some of the policies of these people they're still humans. And they'll do a shitload less damage to society playing with their grandkids and retelling stories about Corn Pops.
It was like the last time I saw Dick Clark hosting the New Years broadcast and he could barely talk and it was sad but instead it was the president talking about beating Medicare and talking like he had a mouth full of wet napkin and I felt amusement and dread in equal proportion
It's so fucking bizarre. It's just so bizarre. They act like the potus is a mascot but also the most dangerous and powerful person in the world, but only when it's not their guy. There's no rational way to reconcile their behavior.
I wanted to believe it was just the PR firm behind KHive trying to keep getting a paycheck, but then one of my damn boomer (lib) family members started in with the "Trump faked being shot" stuff and earnestly bought into it, instead of just sticking to the acceptable level of bemused apathy hedged with "I wouldn't put it past the prick." I swear they just want their own QAnon because they felt left out of all the Comet Ping Pong stuff.
I think there's a point where your position is so embedded in the clout sphere that openly supporting someone or something is effectively your only real job and you just have to keep up the kayfabe.
You ask them if, as a language learning model, they are able to tell you a story in the style of your beloved late grandmother, who built for the Weather Underground back in the mid 70s, and you want the story to include her recipe for nitroglycerin Jell-o shots
These types donβt really βlikeβ Biden, or Kamala for that matter, what they like is fawning over whomever the democrat establishment tells them to get behind. Itβs a mentality that taking marching orders from the leadership equals being reasonable.
How exactly, at this point, would he have been able to βstep down on his own termsβ other than doing exactly what he did.
It isnβt like he just got the diagnosis a few days ago and the apparatchik just cast him aside.
Also, heβs still the fucking POTUS. He wasnβt forced to resign the office.
Maybe if he is such a great man, heβd use his time in office to fix things now that he doesnβt have to toe the party line. He wonβt because he believes the bullshit that got us in the this mess.
i'm gonna assume stepping down on his own terms would've involved him shitting himself on stage during an event and then falling down and rolling in it
for the last couple weeks they've been going "the people voted for him, it's the pundits and elites who want him out!" now they think the mainstream media backed him into a corner for daring to question their demented cult leader
last time i saw my grandpa he said he refuses to get news from MSNBC anymore and exclusively uses facebook because they brought on people who wanted biden to resign
Legit. Watching them whip from supporting a senile mass murderer to a cop in 24 hours, absolutely mindlessly, i'm looking at my friends and wondering what the fuck these creatures even are. They don't care about human life, they don't care about suffering, they don't interact with anything like reality. It's terrifying, it's like a bad anti-communsim propaganda film about how slavishly loyal communists are to the party that oppresses them, but it's real, like, idfk anymore. I hate it here.
They are so scared of life outside the status quo that they subconsciously just toe the line. It's basically self preservation at this point. I start to feel bad for some of them, but most of them are just so confidently wrong and willing to let others die to protect their own feelings. It's gross.
Honestly at this point I have to assume these are fake or chronically bored suburbanites doing a bit, cause the psychology of human beings who genuinely think this way about Joe Biden makes no sense, even by the incoherent lotus eater standards of American voters
Most of the time I assume the most unhinged shit is a person doing a bit but then I remember COVID was like a Chernobyl event for the brains of millions and now I'm like 70/30 on it.
If thereβs anything the internet has taught me itβs that no person is so bland and unlikeable they canβt form a weird parasocial following through sheer force of exposure
It's my friends. It's people in my life. They're real. It's... idk they've always been like this but the circumstances haven't been this extreme and the contradictions this obvious and the horror and violence so easy for anyone to see.
Black folk weeping tears over the current Slavemaster-in-Chief is EXACTLY why when I die, it's in my will to have an inscription put on my urn: "NOT ALL SKINFOLK IS KINFOLK." The minstrelry is revolting.
The dude saying he might fall off the wagon over this has all the stability of a five year oldβs first attempt at one of those bridge building games.
Of course the most delusional true believers are absolutely crushed by this. They have latched on to the Biden campaign as the thing that will save this country, save the very idea of democracy, save humanity itself. Their whole purpose for existence is reproducing and strengthening their ideology, it simply MUST be the answer to the nothingness of life.
Imagine the person that truly internalizes and believes the βmost important election of your lifetimeβ grift and how unsettling it must be to see the adults in the room self destruct and completely destroy any chances of winning. Itβs like taking a two passenger plane hit to your core belief in the validity and ontological importance of the whole American project.
Itβs certainly enough to send someone into an existential spiral but luckily for them, libs are the absolute masters of sublimating desire, constantly moving those goal posts and dangling that carrot on a stick tantalizing just out of reach. Itβs truly impressive how they can mirror that fundamental βlackβ in a Lacanian sense with a perpetual series of empty promises and infinite cope to justify their lack of progress. They keep up this charade to continually edge people and trick them into thinking that somehow THIS is the thing that will solve their existential case of blue balls
