      Which, coincidentally, means liberals are the best argument for electing Trump. A huge portion of the nation starts caring about things they should always care about simply because bad man.

        Legitimately, there was a revolutionary spirit I could feel that was dissipated when Biden was elected. Motivated people were beginning to turn away from the capitalist status quo, but then Biden wins and the energy became “thank god the adults are back, we can ignore everything again.”

      It’s going to be really funny to see dejoy and the concentration camps on the southern border suddenly be an issue again overnight after a precisely 4 year hiatus.

      It’s no different than when we went from Trump to Biden. Welcome to US politics.

    That “Biden saved the 40 hour work week” one is extra hilarious.

    You know, the 40 hour work week. The thing that everybody is coming around to agree is outdated and unnecessary and other places are getting rid of and drastically improving the quality of life everywhere its tried.

    I’d make a joke about how it’s like if Biden was around in the 70’s bragging about stopping bussing but… uh… ya know.

    The posts on the protests are in every other subreddit where everybody agrees that the cops should be being more violent towards the protestors and also claiming the protestors aren’t doing anything while they post on reddit.

    There was a local thread from one of the universities and all thentop comments where “stidents” complaining the protedtors were selfish and ineffective because it was interrupting thier studies.

    Saw one post that was basically “I hate the protestors because they caused me to lose a bunch of samples I needed for my masters theisis”

    “Really, cus I walked around the campus all day yesterday and could get in anywhere I needed, they were just stopping cops”

    “Nope I deff couldn’t get in, somebody should really teach these spoiled brats a lesson”

        It’s so exceedingly obvious why they want to ban TikTok. Constant stream of protest vids and cops from different campuses. Didn’t even know they were protesting at Indiana University until this morning

    I’ma be honest, I’m really glad that /r/chapotraphouse started coming across my feed when it did and got me out of liberal politics. I was a /r/politics user for like 6 years and probably would’ve kept going if I wasn’t exposed to leftist politics.

    The words “palestine”, “isreal”, “cop”, “police”, “student”, “college”, and “university” appear nowhere on this page.

    I assume the mods simply nuke any protest stuff as being not related to politics. And they nuke most Palestine/Israel stuff as being off topic.

    Trump derangement syndrome continues going strong

    You’ll see some posts about the protests and about Palestine in ‘controversial’, but the comments are even more disgusting than normal for reddit-logo

    Trumpity trump trump trump orange man trumpity drumphf, trump trump trumpity

    then a bunch of inorganic comments praising joe biden from accounts that have weird, stilted histories posting short comments in the most generic subreddits

    the saccharine praise of that genocidal husk is so cloying and fake it makes me wonder what these accounts are being paid or if it’s just pure chat GPT now
