It's been interesting watching the schadenfreude.
My parents have been borrowing my car for almost a year now so they can drive for DoorDash, because if they don't, this country will sit by and let bloodsucking capitalists take their home and their lives. This didn't happen to them under Trump. It happened under Biden, and Democrats shouldn't be pointing and laughing. They should be having calm, measured conversations with these people and trying to garner their support instead.
But for all their degrees and education, they lack empathy and don't understand people at all.
Shitler stabs baby.......this is clearly a both sides issue.
The impoverishment is very much a both-sides issue. That's how Trump got elected. You and the other Democratic voters are only acting like you care because, at the moment, it's politically convenient. You have no real values.
Just because the Ratchet Effect is true doesn't mean that both sides are the same. You sound like a Republican. And the only value Republicans have is hate.
You wanna improve things? Vote in leftists who will actually work to fix things. The presidential elections ain't gonna do shit until we have a party actually willing to field candidates who want to fix things.
I love that your response is: "You're not wrong, but you're wrong." I sound like someone who isn't looking through blue or red-eyed glasses, and to partisans, that makes me sound like the opposition, because somehow you're constitutionally incapable of being objective.
Thanks for your input.
Nah, you sound like leopards ate your face. Because this did happen under Trump as well. The programs that help protect people like your parents were created by leftists, slashed by Republicans for decades, and kept on life support by Democrats.
Look at what Musk is doing now. All the issues that your parents have? About to get way worse, very quickly.
You came into the "People who fucked around and found out" community to complain about people pointing out people who fucked around and found out, and called them the elitist Democrat stereotype that Republicans always pull out because they're not trying to "reach across the aisle" to a group of people who repeatedly vote against their own interests, no matter how often you point it out.
Spoken like a chump who hasn't bothered to look up the voting history of both parties, so their opinion is worthless.
It's always good to blame the democrats when the felon slashes social security and doubles food prices.
When the democrats have been warning about those consequences of voting for trump the whole of last year.
And it's funny that you mention the lack of empathy when that priest was just accused of "The sin of empathy".
The people you accuse of lack of empathy are in favour of increasing minimum wage and benefits for the poor.
It's sad to see a country give the reins to a madman that said he would be a dictator and follows through on project 2025.
When all we have is factory farmed, ~~grabbing~~ routinely pesticided* and routinely antibioticd food, will they? Like I'm really okay with vegan but plant* butter is still just transfat. Chemicals build up in our bodies, especially liver.
Weird, because by all available metrics, the economy was recovering under Biden.
So your parents must have been doing something wrong.
What didn't happen to them?
Nobody's pointing and laughing. Leopards Eating People's Faces is about Justice-based Schadenfreude. It is the pleasure associated with seeing a person who wished ill on other people receive that ill themselves. The overriding emotion isn't joy, it's a mix of exasperation and relief. Exasperation because someone was stupid or cruel enough to wish those things for other people, and relief that there's finally some justice because they're suffering from the exact thing they wished on those other people.
