(57,314 posts)of people of color, LBGTQ, and women are about to be decimated, and that will last for a generation. That is a direct result of 2016. They argued repeatedly that the court didn't matter, so this is the court they helped bring about. But no sweat for them. Why should they care about the consequences of their own actions? We told them that the people of color, LGBTQ Americans, women and the poor depended on the court, but they said explicitly, that wasn't a reason to vote Democratic. They said it over and over again. They made perfectly clear that they didn't care about those people. They still don't care.
Another thing they never did was familiarize themselves with Hillary's policy positions. They couldn't bother. I lost count of how many people who hated Hillary didn't know the first thing about what she proposed, even after the election. They steadfastly refused to inform themselves. They instead spread Russian propaganda about her and the primary process. They fed right into Putin's hands, which is why he purposefully targeted them, and they eagerly complied.
