    It’s fucked up how in a way it makes sense

    The media and the democrats keep telling centrist libs that voting is the only thing that will do anything while actively demonstrating that voting won’t get them jack shit

    Force people to keep running directly into the picture of a tunnel painted on a wall like wile e coyote for a fucking decade and some of them are bound to snap

      The centrist libs are also the only ones who have deluded themselves into the idea that Trump isn’t a real American. That America is good, but Trump/Russia have corrupted it. They have a great person idealism that allows them to believe that if they took out Trump that most problems would be immediately resolved.

      Those on the radical left have a systematic analysis with a century of history of ideological grappling with adventurism and assassination and it’s inadequacy. We also don’t believe that the problems with America start or end at Trump, we instead see him merely as an avatar of the actual forces driving history and another puppet could be chosen easily. Those on the right love Trump or are indifferent to him, so they wouldn’t have any reason to snap at the government. Those in the center are the only ones who really truly feel they are correct and that they can save the world with a single action.
