Getting banned on 10/31 might have something to do with it too. ;)

I'll just go ahead and save this post to share during the next election to hopefully help encourage others to tune out the new ones that will show up.
Hahaha fantastic
It's a lot quieter since the election. Almost like they were, paid or not, bad faith actors with one goal.
Hm.
I happen to be of the opinion that they were all, or almost all, just useful idiots who truly believe that Trump winning would result in the FALL OF THE AMERIKKKAN EMPIRE and subsequently some kind of world socialist revolution. Instead of, you know, Trump's slump just being sludging up all extant institutions and encouraging crony capitalism and repression of workers' movements the world over.
I mean, they probably still believe that, for that matter, but being confronted with the reality of ushering in fascism triggers some cognitive dissonance with their performative allyship, and they don't like that.
Sounds like there was a wave of bannings too, judging by the comments.
There will be plenty of topics to come that will provide similar outlets considering what is pending.
I say this with no sense of irony or desire for the fall to happen; but he hasn't even taken office yet, time will tell [sigh].
I still struggle with the internal conflict of 1) wanting this to all just work out and we come out the other side 4 years from now with our democracy intact, albeit with a lot of changes I disagree with or 2) hoping for stage 2 of FAaFO to unleash the leopards while I laugh and the idiots who voted against their own best interests cry that their faces are being eaten. The human in me really hopes for the former, but the wanna-be-standup-comedian in me has a darker heart.

Oh yeah, my point isn't that they haven't 'succeeded' in that goal of seeing the US collapse; they very well may have depending on how things shake out. My point is only that their actual motivations were not, largely, their stated motivations, and the starkness of what is facing minorities in the US now makes them uncomfortable, knowing that this is what they were cheerleading for. And also that the collapse of the US isn't going to look anything like they think it will.
ahh gotcha. 100% agree! aka FO in full effect haha
I just looked at my history and so many of these fucks deleted their posts and just peaced.
UniversalMonk was permananned. They tried to evade the ban with other accounts, but those also got the ban hammer.
OH that's the other guy lmao, I remembered anti and another that was big on the bluemaga BS but completely forgot what his user was lol
Can't believe it took that long to get the permaban lolol
They were contractually obligated to spin the loss before they got the last paycheck
Who?
The one from [email protected] who was screeching (literally) all day every day for months about "BlUe MAgA" this "Both sides are the same" that and constantly telling people to vote for Jill Stein and how you shouldn't "vote for genocide" as if Drump was the better choice.
Suddenly stopped after the election lmao
It was so plain to see once you get past the "fee-fees" of the bullshit. Patently obvious to anyone with a shred of humanism.
I'm still here, the Democrats lost so bad that all the protest votes combined couldn't close the difference.
Democrats let more people get kicked off Medicaid by "ending COVID" than they lost by too.
If you want to be considered the "lesser evil" option maybe get less innocent people killed in your term.
Before: "EVERYONE VOTE THIRD-PARTY, WE CAN DO IT TOGETHER!! NEVERMIND A THIRD PARTY HASNT WON A PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION EVER! JUST DONT VOTE FOR GENOCIDE! THEY'RE ALL JUST REPUBLICANS ANYWAYS!!!! ARRGH"
Now: "Um ACKCHULLY we're a tiny majority so we're not responsible for this, k bye!"

Oh boy, I can't wait to see what the lesser evil of abstention gives us! Nothing like enabling genocide of minorities in America, am I right?
Are you crazy? Anti democrats and their border violence, pro police and pro genocide agenda are still around. We are just organizing as always and no longer have to deal with blue MAGA arguing for your favorite genocidal imperialist.
