      Actually, I think it’s finally time to listen to them

      They spent the last 2 years cheering on every new trash fire, because they felt like they were “winning against the libs”. They were totally convinced they were actually the silent majority taking back “their” country

      I really want to hear from them right now. But I have a feeling they’re going to be a lot more quiet for a while

        Only the mildly self aware ones. For a lot of them they’ll somehow blame Obama, Biden, or mamdani for the current gas and grocery prices.

          Nah, they take their talking points directly from Trump

          And did you see Trump today? He was like “they lost because I wasn’t on the ticket. But enough about that, have you heard about the ballroom? Look, we put a plant and an American flag on a random girder. Let’s watch them install it together”

    “Both sides are bad” is pretty standard fare fascist propaganda, not particularly cope.

      It is absolutely true that both sides are bad. It’s just that one side makes our lives worse, and the other makes them practically unlivable. It’s not fascist to pay attention and notice how our lives are never improving. They only worsen at a differing rate based on which party has power.

    If you wanted to help trump, encouraging people not to vote would be almost as good as getting them to vote trump. So I’m not convinced these aren’t more Russian bot campaigns.

      they don’t really have to. there’s a lot of Russia. like a really really big health bar. traditionally going back to the czarist regime the Russian army buries you under their conscripts until you run out of arrows, sharp things, or bullets. then sends more conscripts.

      the internal regime is really unstable and Ukraine is hitting things Russians care about, so it’s not a foregone conclusion, but it is Ukraine’s early game hard mode dark souls boss to beat.
