    The earnest libs are lame and cringe because they just fucking whine on Twitter or MSNBC or whatever existed during the Iraq War. The ones in actual power who are also just whining on Twitter will continue to vote along with Trump because they don’t actually give a shit and they are more devoted to the processes than the outcomes.

      From an elder millennial: a great deal of neolibs are so happy that archives of the early internet are very sparse and that social media either didn’t exist or wasn’t heavily adopted yet, because they were overwhelmingly aligned with the gop in that era

      like I know it seems like the dems are handing shit to the republicans now but 2001? 2003? They were actively working with them and americans wanted this

      george w had a ninety percent approval rating heading into Afghanistan in 2001, the highest approval rating of any president ever

      It dropped in the 2 years heading into Iraq but it was still over 70% which is also extremely high

      His approval rating prior to 9/11 was 50-55%

      They’ll vote along with trump because that’s what they’ve been doing for literal decades

      If we had stuff like the public archives of reddit for 2006 twitter or 2001 livejournal so many 40 year olds would have their shitty conservative past exposed.

      Like my high school had a “young republicans club” and the president literally works for the fucking dnc. Like dude you just realized that saying slurs was shitty and that minorities aren’t actually subhuman but you still think poor people are. even minority rights are something you’d prioritize under getting that bag
