Why do libs live in a perpetual fantasy where theyre targeted for voting for Hillary in 2016?

56 points

It’s funny, they’re not even “with them” to the extent that they even exist. I remember when Texas was frozen the libs were ecstatic that poor rural people were gonna freeze to death.

Yup, I remember another instance of libs gloating about how the people in some red state deserved to suffer for voting for Trump

Had any of the over 100 libs who had commented on that story actually read what had happened they would know that the people they were so sure were getting what they deserved were actually poor and black

a bunch of these types in an .ml post about Texas running out of water was doing the same thing just a couple weeks ago I was pretty disgusted. I commented like you guys know that in Texas all the minorities you pretend to care about, together added up are more than the Texas honky population in general, let alone the specifically MAGA suburbanites and bourgeois ones? Blue MAGA indeed

it’s 3, looking at it now that’s actually every reply but my own, not including the upvotes in agreement.

“it’s only a few guys being murderous sociopaths toward civilians in their country’s suffering due to blue maga essentialization” is not really the defense you think it is, nor one worth making.

It’s not. it might be only a few annoying accounts going out of their way to do it, but try living in a red state and criticizing a liberal online and you’ll quite often get told how you’re a “dumb redneck” crypto-Trump supporter. it doesn’t even take much to get them to start spouting that bullshit. the only thing the conservatives are correct about is liberals are very annoying and condescending.

The only appropriate place to fly a Hillary flag is the 7th circle of hell.

“We support progressives in red states.”

Then how about you allow your in-demand cities to build more housing so us “dumb hicks” from red states can move into your fancy pants progressive cities? I’d love to live in NYC and be relatively confident I don’t run into a chud.

Sorry, they’re too busy gentrifying everywhere between NYC and Albany so the whole state becomes as unaffordable as the city and increasing the police budget

Well they didn’t say anything about deregulation so idk. It is a short-sighted take in regards to the housing/housless crisis already effecting locals in those urban centers.

Maybe in metro areas, but the small town I live in has a game shop that has/had LGBT+ safe space and mask required signs, and apparently people have come in brandishing guns demanding they take them down. Evidently no one ever got hurt, but the vitriol is definitely there. They probably supported Hillary as I bet they’re a bunch of libs, but I guess they didn’t advertise that.

And libs are the types to “condemn politicial violence no matter what” even if its in retaliation or in self defense to one of these chuds doing something violent.

Bernie was the most liked politician in the country at the time, fwiw. He had net favorability even among Republicans.

Maybe it was a fever dream, but can someone confirm if there were some liberals that were discussing the progressive case for Trump when it looked like Bernie would win in 2020?

Point is, libs would rather lose to Trump than win with Bernie.
