Yeah and sometimes it meant rifling through a stack of game cases to find the special one holding the memory card.

Unfortunately yes, but point being that maga gets a free pass on genocide.
Even now the backlash against maga is mostly over Elon Musk taking a chainsaw to federal jobs and funding for social programs.

You missed my point. It was always clear for +90% of leftists that trump was worst.
To me, this feels like a retcon out of hindsight.
The entire year up to election day all I saw was posts downplaying Project 2025, Trump’s authoritarianism, the threat to Democracy. Complaining that the media over-sensationalizes anything to do with trump. Accusing everyone worried about Trump that they’re just hysterical. Just crazy people thinking that every election ever, Democracy is at stake. And if you vote against Trump actually you’re just blue MAGA anyway with the blood of genocide on your hands.
Maybe it was clear to leftists that Trump was the worst, but leftists sure didn’t make it clear to anyone else that they gave a shit.

You are writing fanfiction here, I don’t think any serious leftist wants things to go sour for the US.
I’m not writing fanfiction, I’m taking online dialogue from self-described leftists at their word. Now every individual is different, maybe a bunch of these were misinformation trolls calling themselves leftists. Maybe they were exaggerating and they don’t want the entire US to fall, they just want to get rid of NATO got carried away being edgy online. I get whiplash from how fast the script can seemingly flip sometimes.
sadly the USA seems like is on it’s full speed on course to ruin: fascism in it’s government going progressively shameless
I was told over and over and over again that full blown fascism in the US was better than secret fascism. Maybe from trolls, but I heard it over and over.

I was explicit about not blaming leftists for Trump. I can’t say that leftists are the reason Trump won office. Trump likely could still have won without any leftists. BUT. There was/is a leftist/MAGA alliance, let me demonstrate.
First:
Genocide Joe
Killer Kamala
Donald Trump
Next:
Start a conversation with a leftist about Genocide Joe and Palestine, good chance they never bring up Trump.
Start a conversation with leftist about Trump and Palestine, it’s impossible to avoid the conversation becoming entirely about Genocide Joe and the Democrats.
Unconsciously, leftists have given Trump and MAGA a free pass on genocide. No nicknames, no blame.
“some leftist didnt voted for kamala and now many palestinians get annihilated, love to see the pain on their face”
No, more like, “is it now bad enough that MAGA loses its free pass on genocide now? Nope some leftist came to explain to everyone why it’s actually all Genocide Joe’s fault still”.

It’s not exclusive to the US but it’s mostly a US practice.
- Comment on Israel publicly announces genocidal intent 3 weeks ago:
It’s about a coherent trail of ideas. If I’m talking about write-in’s, and you act like I’m telling you to vote for Kamala, when she’s on the ticket and there would be no sense in writing Kamala in when she’s already on the ticket, the conversation is not following a rational line of discussion.
- Comment on Israel publicly announces genocidal intent 3 weeks ago:
It’s like you didn’t read my post at all, maybe you accidentally replied to the wrong post.
I didn’t tell anyone to vote Kamala or DNC, I said a write-in vote is a protest vote. For the love of God you can write in “anti-genocide” or “I stand with Palestine” as your vote, that is a protest.
Keeping this short because I hope you actually read this.
- Comment on Israel publicly announces genocidal intent 3 weeks ago:
Global leftists want the fall of America
Global leftists advocate for the fall of America
America starts falling
People suffer because America is calling
It’s going to be difficult for global leftists to find a willingness for solidarity and cooperation with the suffering people, who feel like their suffering was the goal. But with a lot of creativity, might be possible.
Now for sure, people were already suffering under Capitalism previously, but leftists are basically pitching the same " it has to get worse so it can get better" story as Elon Musk.
Now if leftists had backed Kamala, and Trump won, suffering people would be flocking to the left, instead of blaming them.
So… Sucks.
- Comment on Israel publicly announces genocidal intent 3 weeks ago:
WELL, it’s worth discussing that leading up to the 2024 US General Election there was a bit of a bizarre alliance between global leftists and MAGA when it comes to media and information warfare.
For completely opposite reasons each, of course. MAGA thought Trump was going to take the US to being the next level of Imperialist superpower. Global leftists thought Trump was going to destroy the US’s power and influence and end the era of the US being the world’s sole superpower.
Only time will tell who was correct. Right now it looks like the global leftists were right - the US’s influence is rapidly deteriorating, and it may never recover.
Trump is looking like a big global leftist win in taking down the US - at the cost of many Palestinian lives. And maybe this was the trolley dilemma, with millions of Palestinians on one track, and billions of people on the other. Can we accuse leftists of being the ones to flip the switch? No, but leftists absolutely argued in favor of flipping the switch to trump and the downfall of America, at the cost of many Palestinian lives.

Most just abstained
An abstain from voting is a vote that says “I’m fine with anyone or everyone”. An abstain is a vote that says “I am complacent to the outcome”.
If you want to protest, if nothing else, write in.
I can’t really blame people for drawing the line at genocide of all things
They didn’t draw the line at genocide. If you stand and watch and do nothing you are complicit in the genocide.

No you cut the funding that goes to poor people, so when they start to revolt, you can use that savings to help fund your security to protect you from the angry poor people, and spend more on security then you would have spent just keeping the poor people happy.
This is what conservatives call, “fiscal responsibility”.

Great, you can move more easily to another overpriced unmaintained property. You will own nothing and you will be happy about it.

Transitioning can be as simple as changing your name and wardrobe.
All I said is that it’s valid to not conform to gender expectations, and transphobes are liars and bad people, which as both true statements. If you take issue with either of those statements, you are telling on yourself, and your dishonest, low-intelligence concern trolling about “treatments”.

I don’t hurt minors, that’s a pathetic try. Transphobes will make a big deal about protecting children but they are too busy banning trans people from serving in the military while children literally freeze to death in casino parking lots. Transphobes are untrustworthy, deceitful, bad people.

Let me set something straight real quick –
Pushing ideology: forcing someone to conform to a set of social standards that you believe should fit the body parts they were born with
Not pushing ideology: validating that they have the freedom to feel or act differently than the cultural expectation
The real “gender ideology” was cishet gender ideology this entire time.

I mean, abortion is safe when it’s legal. Unsafe abortions and climate change are both symptoms of conservative Christians being a death cult working to accelerate the end times to get to eternal paradise.
So yeah, when you have one large portion of the population trying to make the world better, or at least habitable for the next generation, and another large portion of the population trying to end it, they inevitably become mortal enemies.
