      Because they were conned and manipulated by being fed lies that preyed on their fears, insecurities, and ignorance while being raised on propaganda intentionally designed to brainwash them into voting against their own interests.

      Seriously, think critically and remember that they too are fallible humans who are victims of the system.

      So, again. What happened to your working class solidarity? Cause right now, I don’t see any, I just see someone spreading hate against the wrong enemy.

        Funny, I’ve been watching conservatives do exactly that for decades now while the rest of us try to reason with them. I grew up with Limbaugh convincing my dad that liberalism is a mental disorder and Clinton won the election because women vote with their vaginas. They’ve done nothing but get more disgusting, hateful, and bigoted since.

        “Oh boo hoo they were conned and manipulated” How come I can consume the exact same media as them and see through the bullshit? I’m really supposed to feel sorry for them? We’ve been telling them for decades they’re being lied to; they enjoy it.

        I’m done. Fuck every single one of these fascist-enabling pieces of shit AND their fucking feelings. I’m not gonna cry when some fucking dipshit who has the exact same access to information that I do and can’t be bothered to verify their news sources gets exactly what they voted for.

          Cool. Continue to abandon your solidarity and exacerbate the problem.

          I never said Republicans weren’t doing that. I’m saying you’re no better by sinking to their level.

            40 years of ‘not sinking to their level’ brought us fascism so maybe give up that old wives tale and address the reality we live in now, hm?

        People who go out of their way, and to their own detriment support a system of racism, sexism and xenophobia, are people who deserve any hate aimed at them. There’s no solidarity for someone who would intentionally hurt themselves to hurt others more.
