  • This is more of a cultural thing where you know you will get killed if you go against the leader, you know it’s “bad” to even talk bad about them, and it’s just accepted and you don’t really criticize it… Because criticizing your government would mean getting in serious trouble. You learn this young. You accept it. You just don’t do it.

    That’s how it was in the USSR, how it persisted under Putin, and they just believe that to be a symptom of a “strong” government. Apparently youth might be waking up a bit more in recent years, but it was like that for a long fucking time and they accept that just opening a piece of white paper in front of a building like a protester means getting carried away.

    So yeah they know these people are getting killed by their government. It’s just accepted. There is no question that it isn’t an accident.

    It’s like that one video where someone goes up to a random Russian guy and asks him if he supports the war or Putin or something, and he gets quiet then says, “why talk about such things when we’re surrounded by a beautiful city?” Then walks away.



  • While I do think we know there’s some truth to all that, it’s clear voting matters otherwise the Republican party wouldn’t be trying to rig it every fucking chance they get, and the DNC wouldn’t have been going so apeshit over Bernie in 2016. He threatened the establishment and they had to attack their own constituents and call them Bernie bros to get things back “on track”.

    It’s not so black and white. There’s Democrat politicians who range from zero to one as controlled opposition, and as supporters of the establishment and the status quo. People are more complex than that. They have their own goals and some of them did not join politics just to make a buck, and some of them are just plain cowards or are too far separated from their constituents to realize what they want because they’re just surrounded by rich powerful fucks who don’t buy groceries.








  • I don’t think they’re falling for it as much as using it as an excuse. It’s a “we must win at any cost” mindset, believing some enemy ideology won over half the nation and they might as well cheat, because they see drag queens on TV so the liberal media brainwashing the nation is the way they’re being cheated.

    In any case that’s the lie conservative voters are being sold, that this new age ideology and “woke mind virus” is winning and now they have to do anything to stop it. I doubt Johnson believes it as much as is a huge fucking gaping pussy that is falling in line to stay relevant politically.

    Conservative politicians are like the dude working at the register who steals money from it, then tells the boss the other guy is stealing from the register. Then when anyone blames him, they can say “I said it first”.
