wearing murder weapons on their lapels, attacking vulnerable trans people. Trying to take everything that helps people away from them. I could go on and on. But that doesn't anger me. Disgust me? Yes. Bring feelings of nothing but contempt? Yes. See them as evil and completely corrupt? Yes.
But my anger goes to the too may voters who see this and still support these vile pieces of sewer sludge.
This came to mind last night when I thought about those who saw this and said, "No, I won't vote for that good man who is trying to improve the country and everyone who lives here, I will vote for the jackals howling from their seats."
Those fuckers make me angry.

(14,967 posts)Like you point out, anger at them is pointless. Heck, your anger is what they are after. They feed on it.
The people who empower and enrich them are the ones to get angry at. We'd be largely free of the trolls if not for those enablers -- the trolls would be shouting to themselves in an empty room, instead of on CSPAN/in the Capitol.

(17,918 posts)Those gawd! fearing, "boot strap" grabbin' kind of folks who mindlessly vote for barely literate morons. It takes a special kind of stupid to gladly vote to F yourself. Those are the people I loath.

(4,999 posts)I think if 100% of gen z completely understood how government works, there is no chance we'd ever have a GOP house, senate or whitehouse for many decades to come.
That's the frustration I have, good people not showing up to vote, because they don't know how incredibily important it is to keep the idiots from running the show and literally burning up the planet.

We know who and what they are, so why be angry. And if it's so out of character, how can you be angry?
As Obama says, Don't boo. Vote!
I know, I know, easier said than done. I'm working on my high blood pressure so I'm using this as a guide.

Follow the money. Some will be traced to Russia. More will be traced to fat cat Americans who hate democracy.

But they just keep helping their real oppressors.
