Why do libs live in a perpetual fantasy where theyre targeted for voting for Hillary in 2016?

    It’s funny, they’re not even “with them” to the extent that they even exist. I remember when Texas was frozen the libs were ecstatic that poor rural people were gonna freeze to death.

      a bunch of these types in an .ml post about Texas running out of water was doing the same thing just a couple weeks ago I was pretty disgusted. I commented like you guys know that in Texas all the minorities you pretend to care about, together added up are more than the Texas honky population in general, let alone the specifically MAGA suburbanites and bourgeois ones? Blue MAGA indeed

          are you sure they were super left or is it more that your thinking has evolved?

          i ask bc i always felt like a lot of the online left was radlib.

          it’s 3, looking at it now that’s actually every reply but my own, not including the upvotes in agreement.

          “it’s only a few guys being murderous sociopaths toward civilians in their country’s suffering due to blue maga essentialization” is not really the defense you think it is, nor one worth making.

          It’s not. it might be only a few annoying accounts going out of their way to do it, but try living in a red state and criticizing a liberal online and you’ll quite often get told how you’re a “dumb redneck” crypto-Trump supporter. it doesn’t even take much to get them to start spouting that bullshit. the only thing the conservatives are correct about is liberals are very annoying and condescending.

      Yup, I remember another instance of libs gloating about how the people in some red state deserved to suffer for voting for Trump

      Had any of the over 100 libs who had commented on that story actually read what had happened they would know that the people they were so sure were getting what they deserved were actually poor and black
