"I think we should stop doing genocide" OH YEAH WELL I HOPE YOUR FAMILY GETS GENOCIDED INSTEAD
Ugh please actually. End the cycle of trauma my (extended) family has caused themselves
Why are they so feral?
Because their supposed moral superiority is so flagrantly undermined that they lash out. Genocide, to most people, is rather indefensible. If your cult leader is guilty of perpetrating/at the very least fully enabling and covering for it, it becomes rather clear that your support for them is not a moral or rational choice but rather, well, cultish. Most people do not like being confronted with their cognitive dissonances and thus act like this.
It's like Christian people when you start to compare what they say to what's in the bible, they get angry
Pretty much; and moral superiority was about the only thing they got to hang over conservatives.
"Biden will give us single payer and free college and cut border spending" wellllll, about that...
"Biden will treat immigrants humanely and prevent us participating in more indefensible conflicts" welll.....
What's even left now that they do 'better' than conservatives, spending programs/grants that have accomplished little to nothing?
voting for Democrats because they're the lesser evil
voting for Republicans because they're better at being evil
They are perpetual losers, Republicans will win
Western culture 101: cruelty is strength and strength is the only characteristic that matters.
Yeah the Czars had a similar philosophy. Wonder how it worked out for them? 🤔
Couple reasons I can think of:
There are the stressed out who don't have the time, energy or resources to smooth out the contradiction in their belief you just showed up and which is causing them pain. They can't deal with that pain and they sure as hell can't deal with the stress that turning their world-view downside-up would bring if you were correct.
Some (the redditor archetype) might have built a towering theoretical construct that supports the least painful option for them. They spent a lot of time perfecting it. If what you're saying contradicts one of their conclusions it's obviously wrong, they spent a lot of time building that tower and therefore know more than you. The more of their tower it would topple the wronger it must be. It can be dismissed without further examination. Your insistence on it just proves how stupid you are, do you not know how long they spent researching from the conclusion backwards? God stfu already.
Then there are the naive and (perhaps willfully) uneducated whose whole belief system legitimately is blue=good. And thats it. It's very nice and simple. The reps are obviously hateful and evil and the dems oppose them so they must be good. Look at how they talk about racial equity and wealth imbalance, the more I hear them talk the more nice things they say. Well this was an open-and-shut case. But if blue is good then people opposing them are either ignorant or bad. And if you are actively opposing good even after it was explained to you that your actions will lead to the bad team winning, well you must be evil. Another open-and-shut case, thank god the bad team makes it so easy to see they're bad and whose side I should be on.
KamalasLaughs is going to have a lot more content than BidensWins, but it will be just as desperate and awkward
This is going to be the absolute worst of liberal nastiness
the worst of liberal nastiness so far
get me the fuck off this ride I dont have the mental fortitude for it
When you are in a professional racism contest and the white liberal walks in
This is it, we're watching it, we're watching the mask fall off.
They're coming off at the hinges, this is an interaction I had on lebens.raum (my comments paraphrased for brevity):
CW for unmitigated rage
me: the dems are now where the neocon warhawks where a couple years ago.
A: Oh fuck all the way off
me: They accuse Trump, who famously had Soleimani murdered, of being weak on Iran. From the Official Democratic Party platform [long-ass quote from the party platform]
A: If you’re going to seriously try to suggest that Harris is more of a warmonger and geopolitical bull in a china shop than Trump is, I’m gonna need you to take a step back and
literally fuck your own face
me: It’s their own words my dude. Fucking blue maga.
B: I truly hope you’re a child.
