      Okay this is not really that relevant here…but my father who works for the government in one of those everyone is probably getting fired soon but who knows… Anyway I was talking on the phone with him and he said “I’m worried about my job I don’t know what I would do … but I’m glad they are getting rid of all that waste in the government spending”

        people would rather be broke, jobless, the opposite of free, and be regarded as stupid–rather than simply admit they made a major life-wrecking mistake

        tell your dad that i, for one, hope he enjoys his suffering

          You know, you’re no better… You shouldn’t want people to suffer… That’s how we got here… Instead of boosting people up and encouraging people to be better… People like you wish people would suffer…

          Maybe you will take some time to reflect and be a better person…

          Edit: clearly we are all doomed to be assholes and divided… Maybe instead one day you will see who the real enemy is…

            For what it’s worth, I agree with you in this case, and I’m sorry about your Dad. I hope he sees reason soon.

            yea, no.

            look where all this “let’s be nice to the very fine people on the nazi side” and tolerance and patience and we’re not going to publish this article because it’ll hurt trump’s feelings has gotten us today. excuse me, but fuck that shit.

            you can say i’m a bad person if that makes you feel better, but fuck trump, and fuck everyone who voted for this bullshit that everyone has to deal with now

              Did I say that though? I don’t think I did… Not liking someone and not criticizing them because they are a bad person is not the same thing as wishing they were a better person… You can do those things at the same time…

              No one said be nice to Nazi… You just want them not to be… And maybe if you can do something to help them. instead of you know wishing that they would suffer.

              Especially when all of the wrong a lot of these people did was vote for someone because they were told lies about how things would be better…

            Sure, he raped me, but he was really having some emotional difficulties at the time. I really can’t thank him enough.

            When they voted for their own suffering, I find it difficult to sympathize with them.

              And just because you didn’t vote for a racist sexist committed felon, means you’re better?

              Because your party is so great and wants you to prosper? Or is it just controlled by corporations and billionaires with the same agendas?

                Yes.

                Don’t know when I said anything about parties or what I think of Democrats. Pretty sure that’s an entirely different topic. (I think they’re the controlled opposition party, for what it’s worth.)
