(11,243 posts)They didn't believe the things Trump said. They didn't believe he could win. They disliked Clinton and bought BOB bullshit that was mostly started by white supremacist and Russian trollbots. Media is broken. Our government has been broken for a long time. People are shallow, have tiny attention spans and crave amusement above facts and decency. Bad people took advantage of our moral failings and the weakness of our institutions and ran a huge propaganda game all over our heads. Trump won. It is what it is. We should learn from that and move on. Nothing to gain from regretting the past.
Maybe they will wake up now. Maybe we will save democracy. Maybe not. But these protests are a huge shot across the bow of the RW political and propaganda machine. They are pushing too hard and too far to the right and will continue to face massive backlash if they don't dial their shit back tout sweet. Or they will have to shoot middle class white people in the streets to keep us all in line.
I made a meme for them, special Cannot WAIT for midterms.
