This response is already so tired, like we need more excuses to be incompassionate with one another?

It seems like it's just an excuse for mostly fine-under-trump White folks to go "welp, don't blame me, I didn't vote for him" to people who are actually impacted by his policies. And they seem to apply it liberally to people who may have never supported him or who belong to demographic groups that statistically voted for him way less than White folks.

And even if they did vote for trump and are now facing the consequences? I still care enough not to laugh at them from the side lines for being the victim of a con man, and so should you.

There was outrage for all of those things. Not by most Trumpers, no, and certainly not enough outrage, but there was and is opposition to all of the things you listed.

So many Liberals seem to have been emboldened by losing to Trump a second time into embracing bullying and letting go of what empathy and compassion that they had instead of using the moment to question why their party is so disconnected from so much of the country and why so many who are suffering would fall for Trump's lies instead of Democrats and the status quo.

It's not just that it's wrong to use your anger over a bully being elected as an excuse to become a bully yourself, importantly it's also a garbage strategy for trying to defeat MAGA down the road.

This recent strain of Liberalism and it's compromise is so exhausting. They sell out everything they're supposed to stand for and embrace things like fracking, the lie of migrant crime, they choose to proudly wear the endorsement of people like the Cheneys and expect to win elections by being "diet Republicans"?

It seems like they'll do just about anything instead of actually challenging the systems that cause common folks to suffer.
