    Absolutely. I see this mentality “they never care until it happens to them” a lot, and I get it and was guilty of it myself, but an effective political movement needs to be able to welcome people regardless of background.

      We need justice to heal. If we don’t get justice for these last ten years the good parts of this country will never trust it again. Would you rather republicans feel less offended or would you rather those that actually make up the bulk of this countries economy feel as if their time on this planet is useful? I’m tired of my side throwing me out like fucking trash because an ugly ogre of a right winger is crying because vaccines are expected of them and they don’t wanna. I’m tired of them destroying everything good that we do because they believe bullshit.

      Quit punishing good people because some fucking dumb fucks are crying.

      In these threads we’re not really speaking to those people who have e seen the light though. We are collectively mourning what has been lost, and “we told you so” is a somewhat satisfying outlet.

      It’s illusory to think that people who voted Trump until it affected them would ever be part of a progressive movement, for many reasons.
