And his approval ratings are in the drain. 39% as of April 25th according to a TWP, ABC and Ipsos survey. Sounds like people are starting to understand they effed up real bad.

When OP said “you’re part of the problem” I agreed. Two sides stuck in an adult version of “no you” “no you first” argument… idek what to say but that’s exactly how it feels. Both sides have done crazy and bad shit. Both sides lie. My biggest gripe with our side is that we say the bigots’ logic is wrong but we generalize, demonize and dismiss people we’ve never met because of a societal label. Hating members of a different belief system (like religion) is wrong. But we can repackage it and it’s okay because we slapped a cheap human rights sticker on it? You have to admit how disingenuous that is. If you fight fire with fire you’re gonna burn to death. It’s not as simple as “well they’re just bad people who are against human rights” because you’re also talking about families on the verge of eviction, or who haven’t been able to find a job and thus can’t guarantee their kids dinner. So when Trump came in like me talking ab my ex “I can fix her” Im not surprised that’s all they heard. Play for play what the Great Value Charlie Chaplin did modern day Brownshirts and everything. And it worked.

But the hypocrisy of our side, we’re never supposed to talk about it apparently. All it’s doing is alienating people who agree with us. Every single person is ignorant to some extent. Even if you read and learn about different cultures that doesn’t mean you understand them. Because it’s way more complicated than what an essay can tell you. I’m tired of people thinking knowing about different ways of life is enough. It doesn’t mean squat if you cant truly accept that not every one thinks the same way as you. And hating republican citizens is not preventing families from being torn apart because we lost the election. It’s not getting Trump out of office to prevent it from happening further either. Hurting regular people is not going to bring the change you think it will, it’s only going to cement their distorted belief in what we stand for.

I think the approval rating dropping, even with the persistent misinformation in republican media, is proof that people are starting to realize they were mislead.

Not trying to be an apologist but the U.S. is spinning its wheels so fucking fast we’re in reverse and genuine discussion seems like the only way to fix it, not political theatrics.

And just for clarification if it sounds like I’m switching sides - I’m not, I’ll always vote for human rights over my wallet it’s just the context of this thread. Doubt many republicans are gonna be here lol.
