A heartfelt "fuck you" to everyone who told me I was overreacting in July of 2016.

Yeah that would have been a better one.

A person can still be overreacting even if they end up being right.

I remember once of my coworkers saying, "I hear what you're saying about Trump having issues, but I feel like we need to try something different, and the president doesn't really have that much power anyway, so there's not much he can do."

Now he passionately hates Trump and tries to avoid any conversation about Trump voters because he was one.

Honestly, I thought trump running for president was the funniest thing ever. There was no way the idiot would win and at least the political season would have a clown to laugh at. I could not have been so wrong by Nov. I mean he made his announcement for candidacy descending a golden fucking escalator. From there he never stopped being a beyond parody asshole born from corporate America…and to this day I cannot really grasp how he became that popular. Although, I have strong feelings that much of it is born out of reaction to Obama’s presidency

I'm so completely with you. I was maybe a tiny bit less surprised because I have a coworker why travels a lot across middle America and he said he heard a lot of people talking about needing a change and Trump being a "man of the people" (which is objectively insane to say). I agree with you, though: a lot was in reaction to Obama, especially to having a black president.

Ah, I remember November 2016. The kids in the hippie dorm beat the shit out of someone on their floor because they didn't vote.

Don't get me wrong, Trump is a fascist. With that out of the way, just let me say that if you freak the fuck out over everything all the time, you are bound to be right every once in a while. It's not impressive when you live your entire life in a histrionic state.

Me in 2016: "Weeeeelp I guess we'll see if these checks and balances work"

Me in 2024: "Somehow I'm still not sure"

Them in 2016: Institutions will save us!

Them in 2021: inchoate screaming

My face is stuck in a permanent "YOU DENSE MOTHERFUCKER" meme because of these people.

But she was right about everything!

The part that really hurts is that it seems like the Democrats are setting themselves up to do it again.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I wouldn’t say she was right about anything other than calling trump supporters deplorables

She was right he was Putin’s puppet.

She was right he was going to give away tons of tax money to the ultra wealthy

She was right he didn’t know shit about foreign policy

She was right he’s a demented rapist

She was right about so much more than his idiot cult were deplorable.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Was she right to convince trump to run?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Absolutely not, no, but neoliberals tend to blame other people for that and everything else she's ever done wrong or wrongly neglected to do.

Them in 2016: "He's not LITERALLY a fascist"

Them in 2024: "Okay he's openly announcing his intent to be a dictator and get rid of the 'others' who are 'poisoning our blood', but unless it's from the Bavarian area of Germany, it's just sparkling authoritarianism. Besides, Biden is just as bad!"

The Bavarian area of Germany?

Hitler was Austrian and at least in Germany people use this saying with Italian Mussolini style fascism or even just German

I know it started in Munich but calling it Bavarian in origin is a bit unusual

[–] [email protected] 53 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It’s just a skooch of humor, not an academic treatise.

Oh, I see you’re in Germany. Well, that probably didn't come across the same as it did here. Sorry - carry on.
