[green, speaking, looking smug]
Okay, hear me out, here’s the plan…
We go full apathy, basically we let capitalism fully spiral out into fascism. Once it’s done, people will rise up and the system will collapse under its own weight. From its ashes, with our help, a better society will rise. This is how we win.
[we now see that green is tied up in front of a bleak wall, along with a group of other people, being aimed at by a firing squad of characters in fascist uniforms]
[green, smiling] OK?
[blue, pissed] Dude…
You found 96 people who upvoted the comment saying Trump is worse than bush was and that Mitt Romney would be better than Trump is.
There’s nothing there saying Bush or Reagan were good.
Feel disgusted defending is still defending.
But it’s not saying Bush or Reagan are good.
Nobody said “good.” The other user said “venerating” which was an exaggeration but all the rest of what they said, thinking "everything was respectable and dignified” and “completely whitewashing the horrors from their minds” 100% applies to that comment.
No it doesn’t.
I’ve said it elsewhere in this thread but I’d rather get shot in the arm instead of the head but that doesn’t mean I think getting shot in the arm is good.
That is the point that comment is making.
That’s ten thousand percent whitewashing.
There used to be a day when republicans sold out the US they made damn sure it was to an American.
I get their sentiment behind that statement.
