Name a blue state that has voted in to congres the person responsible for the biggest Medicare fraud in history. Name a blue state that routinely bans books like Florida. Name a blue state that is regularly devastated by the increasing effects of climate change and elects people who deny it. Name a blue state that has a government so fragile and detached from reality they had to fire the person who was responsible for releasing covid statistics. No, this is not a full endorsement for everything the democratic party has ever done and no, this is not saying blue states don't have problems. I'm just so tired of this "both sides" nonsense.

They won't because they can't. That they're making such absurd arguments is that they refuse to admit they've been and are wrong about the direction this world needs to take. Only the cruel vote for a cruel bastard, only the racists vote for Nazi-adjacent racists, and only wannabe dictators vote for obvious fascists. Anyone who tries to both-sides this is a willfully ignorant fool. They have eyes that do not see, ears that do not hear, and hearts that do not understand. That's the nature of the cruel, compassionless fools of this world. They are asleep at the wheel of life. And they must embrace compassion to wake themselves up. We cannot do it for them, but their free will lets them be as stupid and cruel as they choose, but we ALL reap what we sow, for good or ill. Peace be with you, friend.

  > Only the cruel vote for a cruel bastard, only the racists vote for Nazi-adjacent racists, and only wannabe dictators vote for obvious fascists. That's true for much of Trump's base, but it's not especially true for the marginal Trump voter. > willfully ignorant fool That's what they are. We've been celebrating ignorance for a long time now. But this isn't like Xkcd's "lucky 10,000". This willful choice to embrace ignorance has deadly consequences. Americans have a civic duty to vote, and they have a civic duty to be informed when they vote. This isn't like a local election where information is hard to find. Trump is doing exactly what he said he was going to do. "Willfully ignorant fool" should be an insult as strong as "Fascist".
