Car monologue holding people accountable for their political choicesfrom @bradley.thor

It would have been way worse if we went the other direction. Do you really think we had a choice? Both parties are bad. We would have been screwed either way. Do any of those comments sound familiar? They should because they are fucking rampant right now. See usually when a leader takes power, a president takes position, and they start making messy, downright slippery, low tact mistakes. You don't typically have to wear that because although you voted you did what you could and then you hope that you get a decent result, and when you don't you speak out about it. But in this very rare case, in this very rare circumstance people worse the idea of this and I don't use that word lightly. Worshipped and if you deny what I just said you're not plugged into reality regardless. But I digress, my point is if you cheered for this, if you rooted for this, if you bought the merch, if you screamed and shouted at the top of your lungs for this administration, you do unfortunately get to wear some of this. In fact plenty of the people who you idolize platformed it, pushed it. Now before you think I'm going in the direction of wagging my finger at that, I'm no. My point is people made it a part of their identity, and when they did that, they did take on a level of responsibility. Whether they like that or no, they did take on a level of responsibility. With my whole heart, we all have known politics fucking suck. Politicians are slimy. This game has been a double edged sword for a long fucking tier. We've known that. You're not giving us news when you say shit like that. But if you're trying to get your dog on the other side of town and you let them run through the middle of the 405 Freeway and they get nailed by an oncoming semi, You don't throw your hands up and go well traffic was bad. Unfortunately it's a sad thing better traffic is bad and that's what happened. When we were screaming and shouting that there is an overpass you can walk under. Right beneath your best. I've said it a thousand tier. I'll say it again. I'm not proud of what the Democratic Party has chosen to show up as. Not really better, but especially recently. But if you need change, if you want change, it's a whole lot fucking easier when the administration honors democracy to the slightest degree. When you retain the liberties and freedoms of people you disagree with you retain them yourself. So as a heads up a lot of these people that I was just speaking on the creators the people that are idolized for their opinions. A lot of them are going to backslide real conveniently into the position of we just need to love everyone all government sucks this was always going to be bad no matter what and start leaning into this very esoteric passive approach to their message. Softening things up. That my friends is the coziest and easiest way to swerve responsibility. I'm not requesting that people grovel. I'm not requesting anything like that. I'm simply saying credibility. Your credibility fucking hinges upon your willingness to revisit, reflect and fucking heal and ask yourself why? Why did you fall victim to the propaganda? And how are you working on making sure it does not happen again? People have better memories than you think And when you come down begging for compassion, they're gonna ask themselves, have you showed any when you didn't have to?
