You realise your comment history is public right? Anyone raging against the woke almost a year ago isn't switching their vote to Trump today.

  Not true. I pretty much align on the liberal side of every issue, but well, I hate yalls smug bullshit and metapolitics. Im sure this feeling isnt uncommon, this thread is a great example why.

    So you're willing to vote against your interests and beliefs because some people on the left are smug? Interesting take, I'm glad you've found the right with their total lack of smug people.

      Isn’t it possible to dislike woke and MAGA but realize woke has real institutional power over everything today and is a corrupt and unmeritocraric set of ideals. Where as MAGA has no real power or influence in anything of consequence and is therefore benign compared to woke.

        Supreme Court. Immunity. Chevron. Just to name a few. MAGA has been very successful with gaining real power. Read their manifesto about their plans.

        I thought the left was immune to conspiracy theories

        Great, now name the institutions of power the left currently hold.

        lol youre going to have to try a little harder my guy

        Is it wrong? Does the right not control the supreme court, senate and house? How about the media? The largest tv news channel is right, basically all popular talk radio is right, the largest newspapers? How many state governments are run by the right? What are the QoL stats like for those states?

        Tech? Corporations? Movies and TV? Academia? Jouralism? You have a massive blindside.

      Yes. I think the rhetoric and metapolitics the left is engaging in is dangerous, this event case in point. Do I have to quote the people in this very thread calling him proto-hitler? Also seeing you smug asshats, here and in real life, taken down a notch is very much in my interest.

        That seems self defeating, nose meet knife but I guess if you're willing to give up what you actually want for the sake of annoying strangers that is your right. Doesn't seem like a recipe for happiness though.

        ur really working hard to prove my point aintcha
        sanswork 2y ago
        Yeah, if stuff like that is enough to make you vote against your own interests I honestly don't know what to say except I struggle to believe those are actually your honest beliefs. I don't like a lot of people on the left in politics but that is not enough to make me want to vote against my interests/beliefs. I don't like you so I'm going to shoot myself in the foot is just dumb.
        aydyn 2y ago
        Thats not what I said though, or at least not what I meant. Id be happy to explain further but its clear ur not really interested.

    > Im sure this feeling isnt uncommon Sign me up for the not uncommon club because you echoed my sentiments exactly. :D The left has made it impossible to resonate with them as a liberal. They've been as anti-resonant as can be but somehow getting even worse with every passing news cycle. If nothing had happened over the last few months (even taking into account the last few years and their totalitarian grip over all tech), Biden would begrudgingly still have my vote, though it was hanging by a thread. Then enter Putin-esque lawfare fueled by a fear campaign, the dementia reveal in the debate, lefties mourning the near-miss... "B-but he's gonna be a dictator!!" Lol. Even if that's true, the left brought it in themselves, and it'd be schadenfreude. Be afraid! Be very afraid!! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ofIlP1gJ-Ho https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ofIlP1gJ-Ho

  I’d disagree with that. Woke, although associated with democrats and liberals is really an illiberal, arbitrarily hyper-egalitarian, and poisoned set of ideals. It’s totally consistent to value some of the positions democrats currently hold and be very anti-Woke. I’ve never voted for Trump and I am anti-Woke. The sad irony being if anything woke got incredibly strong during Trumps 4 years. I think a lot of people are politically homeless and some may vote for Trump now because it seems weird how he has been portrayed by the clearly biased media, attacked by far left DA’s, and now shot at by someone I’d imagine was inspired by the insane portrayal of him in mainstream media, etc.
