After months of posts about the “Democrats being complicit in a genocide,” I’m not going to pretend that “don’t let fascism win” was somehow the standard they were being held to.
We all knew well ahead of time just how much worse Republicans would be.
You overestimate how foolish people were. The liberals and leftists knew, but the disengaged voters who won Trump the election didn’t. I talked to some of these people. It was easy for them to put their hope in Trump because it was hard to put any hope in Democrats. TikTok bans and genocide complicity were but a few bricks in the wall. It was a pattern of disregard that few could ignore.
Democrats are held to a higher standard than Republicans even by people who claim progressive ideals.
“Not letting fascism win” is the lowest standard imaginable, and they couldn’t clear it

Liberalism died with a pathetic whimper
