    Hopped on r/conservative recently. They’re exhausted or fucking pissed that they got duped. People saying “Harris would have been worse” or whatever mental gymnastics they get fed are doing so meekly. Many are just checking out. The channels we most use to communicate are stages for psychological warfare where people don’t know which way is up, and it’s an exhausting battle. We’re stuck between trying (and succeeding in many areas) to improve our institutions and having no faith in any of them, while these fuckers spit in our face and act like we’re fucking stupid. We’re all in this together, and I think it’s a great time to connect with our Republican brethren. Say we didn’t want Harris, either. We agree on most things. We keep getting kneecapped, but anywhere you look, you can find people fighting the good fight. For the leftists like myself, please consider this: we have common enemies, and they B benefit greatly from making you assume you know your neighbor. Red hat? Wants to exterminate you. Racist. Ignorant. You should really just ask them, rather than assuming you know. Please tell me if this is word salad. I’m bipolar and have been experiencing psychotic symptoms. Love you guys.
