On top of that, can someone explain to me why I'm a trans person in Florida who has been negatively impacted by DeSantis' shitty regulations to trans healthcare and Biden did jack and shit about that? These libs will say shit like "Well, at least Biden cares about trans rights!" to pathetically compensate for him funding a genocide among other things, but I'm not seeing it.

I said this in another thread, but it's breaking my brain that all these lib fucks are suddenly coming to the realization what a disaster Biden is, but only because he shat the bed in the dog and pony show. And now the concern is for the safety of America.

But all these years that of pointing out all the awful shit he's done was nothing to them. Time and again they would sweep those concerns to the side. They were willing to vote for Biden even though he's been helping carry out a fucking genocide and accused anyone of not voting for him to be a "single issue" voter. Yet they're all pressing the panic button now that he publicly embarrassed himself and their whole sycophantic party in front of the world.

Everyone that they conceptualize as being on both Trump and Biden's kill list they just sort of consign to being "doomed to die anyway" like the Calvinists they are. Since they are destined to be killed, how can we blame Biden for killing them when there are also people he could kill but doesn't, while Trump would? Thus spake the lib.

i'm one of the people he's hurt with his anti-gay; college debt; and medical bills agenda, it gives me a visceral reaction each time i read a lemmite (lemmy-ite?) refuse to believe that he did it when it's takes less that 30 seconds on google to confirm it.

Biden was also the accelerationist option the whole time.

Do you want

Or

Do you want

Most Americans can't wrap their heads around the idea that other countries are real places with real people

his crime bill utterly fucked me and i hate him for it

but the opacity decreases as you go down the chart

liberals absolve their candidates of all their crimes, because the alternative, the Bizarro World conservative candidate that won in the parallel universe, would have done something worse.

all throughout Obama's 8 years, anytime someone brought up a failed promise, the eternal wars, or the deportations or anything, what we were told was, "Bush would have made it worse." even when people brought up statistics about drone strikes or deportations and how Obama was harsher than Bush, the libs would short-circuit and say that Bush, if allowed to preside over the precise historical moment that Obama did, would have been worse. and this is implied to absolve Obama.

it turns out you can take a simple message, a complete false statement even, and broadcast it over and over again from every speaker and screen... and other people will believe it and repeat it to be a part of what they perceive as the popular in-group and assume a feeling of safety from the illusion of numbers.

my latest favorite example of that was when, when biden killed the railroad strike before it could start by using congress to force a deal favoring the owners and conceding nothing for workers (0 safety considerations, 0 sick days, etc), the phrase, "most pro union president since FDR" entered the public consciousness. and then that ultra-long, no brakes train derailed in ohio and poisoned a town. and these fucking lib bozos kept repeating the lie and claiming Build Back Better was the retroactive solution which fixed the problems happening after it.

a lib president could admit to dropping a biological weapon on china that specifically targets children and every paper would declare him the greatest and most loving humanitarian since Jesus.

Liberals are part of a political cult with the DNC and New York Crimes at the head. They have absorbed the dictates of their cult leaders such that they reflexively reject all criticism and compare it to wanting the worst thing conceivable (to them) to happen, i.e. Trump winning again.

They don't have to think about the things you mention because their media bubble does not tell them to nor does it emphasize these things as bad or harmful. Their bubble says murdered Palestinians were killed in the passive voice and Israelis are killed by "terrorists". Their bubble barely talked about Yemen at all during the Obama years and their responses to hearing about it are usually bewilderment and frustration that they don't have a snappy comeback ready for "Obama killed a bunch of kids by starving an entire country". The Crime Bill doesn't mean anything to most liberals, they don't even know that it is or what it did. It's an amorphous blob that other people say is bad and rather than learn anything about it they just change the subject.

Liberals can be rescued from their cult but they have to get over the main hurdle they constructed at the behest of their masters: incredible arrogance and incuriositu. It can be challenging to knock them off their little pedestal constructed of Washington Post Op-Eds saying the Democratic primaries should be less democratic and all poor people deserve what they get. They have to be slapped with something and clearly a blatant genocide isn't enough - they still turned to their masters and lapped up the false narratives. Their boy being senile is having a greater impact because while it runs against their years-long excuses given against the left pointing out the obvious, it reconfirms their practice of, "politics is a team sport horse race" that makes them feel oh so very smart. They don't have to make a very big adjustment like caring about dead brown people.

I'd like to misquote the theme song from the Shrek movies :

It's a cool place and they say it gets colder
You're bundled up now, wait 'til you get older
But the media men beg to differ
Judging by the hole in the satellite picture

The media men says it does not matter, so it doesn't.

Most people can only see a very small part of the world with their own eyes

The rest they get from TV

usa controls the TV -> they can directly control people's minds about anything those people didn't see for themselves

And those that saw something that contradicts the narrative get group pressured into forgetting it

Because they're white supremacist national chauvinists who have no meaningful differences from the conservatives they fear so much.

What are we supposed to do about it? Yeah he sucks but like... with the current system, he is the best option
