      Trump tells you all your problems are caused by the browns and trans.

      Democrats yell you, there are no problems.

      People are idiots, but they are struggling idiots, and telling them everything is fine isn’t a winning strategy.

      It’s simplified, but at its core, that’s is the crux of the problem.

        Democrats tell you, there are no problems.

        Holy shit I actually hit my desk when I read this. I’ve been trying to put into words why “centrism” and “both sides” bullshit is just conservatism and why liberals stand for nothing. I have been trying for years now and then you come along and just: “Democrats tell you there are no problems” YES. That is what I’ve been trying to tell people for fucking years!! I’m not the problem for being concerned for the world, stop giving me that look when all I’m doing is pointing out that the problem exists and you should care about it as much as I do. Don’t tell me I live in a fake reality because the things I want done are somehow impossible when we know what many of the world’s issues are and how to solve them. It’s power structures controlled by the rich that stand between us and a better world, and it’s not my fault if you can’t realize that! Son of a bitch, I need to calm tf down.

        So thank you for that.
