Boy oh boy! Is it just me, or are democrats particularly insufferable as of lately?

Lately, I’m seeing vast discontent under the Trump administration (rightfully so, from their POV), but I swear all democrats can say is their stupid taglines, “But Kamala’s laugh was weird 😐”, “We would all be at Brunch if y’all voted 💅”…

What the hell, do these people seriously think that’s the reason they lost? Because their candidate had an annoying laugh?!

Plus, it’s not like Trump being an incompetent moron makes the democrats look any better, it just makes them look like the morons who lost to other morons.

But alright, you go guys, protest peacefully, and try not to bother your opponents or be rude, you don’t want to turn your wholesome Star Wars #resistance into a Bolshevik takeover! The worst part is that they truly feel like revolutionaries. Like with 50501, they won’t accomplish anything but to show off.

lenin facepalm

The american people have to wake up and change things fast. Gotta say though, the California protests and the New York socialist mayor candidate at least give me some hope. Sure, maybe not revolutionaries, but still, at least it looks like the Americans are slowly doing progress.

And I’m not even Statesian! The worst part in my opinion is that you can’t ignore it; as long as USA is the main power, and seeks the interest of the capitalists, communism worldwide has to fight the battle uphill.

Thoughts? Will democrats double down or realize the system is rotten at its core?

    Obama holds the record for most deportation a during a presidential term. Biden deported a year record number of people last year. Crickets.

    What annoys me is how blatantly constructed the narrative is to try and convince Americans that Trump is a foreign and unique threat, and only by continuing arming Israel and Ukraine can you truly show your opposition to Trump and other “tyrants”.

    I looked into 50501 to try and get a feel for their platform, since these protests were suspiciously well-advertised and didn’t seem to say much beyond “Trump bad”. All I can find are the usual Democrat talking points: vague promises of civil rights and justice, punctuated by an explicit promise to arm Ukraine and Israel and support them no matter what. Well, Ukraine is explicitly mentioned, Israel is implied.

    I’ve also noticed the narrative keeps trying to focus on the imagery of a military parade as “authoritarian”, when it’s not inherently so. Media, influencers, and protesters keep comparing Trump to Mao and Stalin, and the whole of the Democrats’ messaging has been giving very big “what are we, a bunch of Asians?” energy.

    Protestors, thankfully, aren’t really out there for 50501’s platform; they’re there in solidarity for immigrants and Palestine as well as being anti-Trump.

    But yeah, they have been more insufferable than ever lately. Tbh, I’ve talked to Trump supporters whose heads aren’t as far up their asses.

      To be given the opportunity of having the world’s information at your fingertips, and still having this dumbshit take of a sign…

        PSL says “anticommunism is the unofficial religion of America” and it’s true. Both major parties claim the other is communist, because to many Americans, communism is just the equivalent of Satanic.

    I think this is them coping tbh, trying to repeat that line until they can just shout it over principled people while plugging their ears like they did at the DNC. Deep down they know they’ve attached themselves to something doomed and unforgivable, and now are trying to pretend otherwise
