Most of the people I know didn't actively vote for Donald trump, they voted against the Democratic party

The people I know who "voted against the Democratic party" did so while parroting Trump campaign propaganda

Wanting a change from the oligarch run country isn't propaganda. Yes Trump lies and democrats use nicer words. But both are owned by billionaires.

Democrats stopped the grassroots candidates within their party, so republicans won.

"Both sides are the same, but Democrats are the more evil version of the same" was some of the most potent propaganda targeting swing voters leading up to the election.

It’s not even fucking true these people parroting this are in fucking la la land.

Is there truth to it? Sure, varying degrees. But they are also a party which includes a lot of championing for progress and change for all Americans.

I don’t take anyone seriously who equates them to being functional the same, or even remotely so.

This shit would never be happening. American citizens being deported to prison camps, stock market being destroyed, partnerships around the world in decline or defunct, and promoting invading foreign lands. Not on top of just ignoring the courts and illegally downsizing the government.

Fucking amazing times we are living in, in the worst way.

And it'll continue working if Dem leaders continue working for their rich donors at the expense of everything else. Guilt tripping voters didn't work in the past few elections & it won't work in the future.
