  • 49% of Americans didn’t vote for this. 49% of those that voted in 2024 technically voted for this whether they were aware or not. Only about 62% of the population voted in 2024 so including those that voted third party, realistically only about 20% - 30% voted for this. And that doesn’t include those that voted based on things like affordability without realizing the choice they were actually making. Add those that regret their vote and you have a very small percentage of people that actually voted for this specific outcome. Sure you can look at polls but those only account for people that were interested in participating in polls, which MAGA loves to be vocal about their opinion.

    In my opinion, they are trying to make us feel isolated and alone when in fact we are literally surrounded by people that are on your side. They’ll say “you voted for this” in the same way an abuser says “you did this to yourself.”

  • It’s not just Reddit, it’s the entire internet. I used to not believe everything on the internet because people were liars. Nowadays I assume everyone is a bot until proven otherwise. And I honestly hope people have the same assumption about me. With generative AI and LLMs you can’t believe anything anymore. Every form of verification we’ve ever used to determine real people on the internet is completely compromised.











  • I’m so tired of this bullshit response. It’s like watching sports and saying what you’d do in that situation when you have no idea what you are talking about. What the fuck are they supposed to do? Anything they do besides protest will put their lives immediately in danger and they could potentially die. Believe it or not, most people don’t want to die. That’s kinda the whole point of these protests. None of us want to die or get kidnapped.

    I get it, we are all angry and this is all bullshit. But I’m so tired of people saying “yeah but I’d fight back and you should too” while most never even go to protests. Stop shaming people for not doing what you want to see them do with the buffer of your phone screen. You are basically saying “yeah but why didn’t you die for them?” While you sit on the fucking toilet.
