Performatively pretending to support movements against oppression is just no longer, in any way, less frustrating than the conservative tendency to just outright support oppression, and that's all liberals do.

Obviously, conservatives are evil and huge pieces of shit, but I'm at a point in my online presence where I just expect the most brainlet shit from them.

Libs, on the other hand, are just in an indefinite cycle of spouting bad takes that enable oppression, but due to ignorance, they think they're actively helping fight against it.

As a trans person of color, bigotry from conservatives is phasing me much less nowadays, but racism and transphobia from libs now seems significantly more abhorrent.

Don't expect me to explain the psychology behind it. This is just how it be like sometimes.

A right wing conservative is like a moustache-twirling villain tying damsels to the train tracks while cackling. They're out there in the open.

A "progressive" liberal is like a

spoilerserial child rapist
sociopath who expertly wears a mask of respectability to integrate himself to be one of the most trusted members of society. He runs the charity at the children's hospital and all the parents love him and if he ever gets found out everyone will just be shocked because he seemed like such a caring, genuine person
