Political Memes

You joke but they legit just are republicans who insist they’re leftists because they’re wearing a coat of red paint over that shit.

Oh, it's no joke. I believe wholeheartedly that if the GOP kept all of its current stances, but was an anti-American party in, say, Europe, and put on the Communist aesthetic and rhetoric, tankies would be lining up to lick their boots and cry "Critical support for transgender genocide!"

Like 9/10 times they’re some bougie white kid who never experiences the difference between republican and democratic governance first hand because they’re privileged and insulated from it, and also they’re tied to people who do nothing but complain about how awful democrats are and they refuse to do any unlearning beyond just saying they aren’t bigots anymore.

God, even on the local scale it can be gruesome. Getting a Republican administration is like watching the municipality be gutted in slow motion. It's difficult for me to sympathize with tankies, since they clearly don't lack time to ~~mindlessly parrot talking points fed to them by their social circle~~ read about politics, but they act completely fucking clueless about the difference between Dems and the GOP. Or, for that matter, the difference between any imperfect cause and pure fucking evil - except, of course, in judgement of their red-painted fascist states, whose actions are always either justified or justifiable, and criticizing blatant totalitarianism is just not appreciating AES and proof of being a shitlib(tm).
