  • It’s the latest Fox news fake outrage story. Teachers are recognizing that in the wake of such a divisive election, taking the day after off is a good idea. No matter which side of the side you’re on, you’re probably going to be distracted. A day off from class is better than an unproductive day of class.

    The Fox News angle is that college students are all crying because Trump won and are unable to function through day-to-day life, because they are committed to attacking education at every possible opportunity, even with misrepresentation and lies.

    Look at OP’s comment history. Joined a month ago, and talks like a Republican. Don’t let these fuckers trick you with stupid questions.


  • What you’re doing is called concern trolling.

    You love Trump, like an unhealthy amount, as many rabid Trumpers do. Other people despise him so much they need time to psychologically process what it could mean for their basic freedom and way of life having him in charge. After all, the President is about to be someone who expressly promised to take our freedoms away, and who has described himself as a dictator.

    You are having trouble processing the fact that other people could hate Trump when you love him. Your mind is so permanently made in favor of him that the fact that anyone would be upset that he won is something you can’t comprehend.

    So, instead of just coping with this fact yourself, you have come whining about it in public, but you’re framing it as a “I want these students to be more resilient and go to school anyway”, but what’s actually happening is you’re watching people who possess the empathy you lack help other people process this, and like any Conservative, you become belligerent and angry that people aren’t made to suffer more following your victory.

    Even in winning you folks act like sore losers. It’s not enough that you get what you want, we need to fall in line and act like nothing fucking happened.

    At least we didn’t shit and piss all over the capital.









  • For thoose who don’t understand I’m a chronic emotional abuser, like I don’t outright threaten to kill myself but everyone around me knows I’m always on the verge to sucide. I’m legitimately a toxic horrible person that holds my friends hostage.

    I know this is gonna sound crazy, but have you considered that you should stop doing that? If you’re deliberately acting suicidal to manipulate people, that’s fucked up, but it does tend to work to some degree. The reason everyone is so fake to you is because you’re fake to them. If you’re going to act like you’re always on the brink of suicide, so will others.

    Why manipulate people to treat you in a way that you don’t want to be treated? That can’t be worth the time and effort.

    You’re the psyop. You created the conditions for the way people act around you. You effectively manipulated the people around you to pity and infantalize you because you act like a wounded animal.


  • I’ve heard this argument before, but the primary that got us Biden was also a shit show where a candidate that was deeply unliked eventually became the nominee as other candidates strategically dropped out to make room for him.

    I heard way fewer complaints about Kamala being selected to replace Biden than I ever heard about Biden being the nominee in 2020. Nobody felt like the primary had nominated the most popular candidate.

    I also don’t buy the conspiracy theory that Biden always planned on dropping out, and deliberately did so after a chance for a Primary had passed to hand the nomination to Harris by default. That just doesn’t check out strategically. Biden is clearly in cognitive decline and they knew that he was basically unrunnable, but swapping out an incumbent is a risky move.
