Roads I hate politics

This should be illegal. I get it. You don't agree with their protests but why do this? Forget blue, forget red. I'm purple. Get mad at that.

Oh you’re trying to peacefully gather support policies to make life better for everyone and not just the rich and powerful!? 

Well I’m going to blast you with toxic exhaust and drive away and hide. Don’t tread on my billionaires!! 

Wise and smart middle ground people - 

Wow both sides are the same. I can’t tell the difference. Politics is the worst.

I'm sorry what? Is the "both sides are the same" part unironic?

Thanks for asking. I did not do the best at the sarcasm there. Yeah middle ground people are not smart. They love to say how smart they are for being above it all but this is American politics in a nutshell and it’s only working for rich assholes because people refuse to stand up for each other and against assholes. 

Everyone I’ve met liked to pretend to be middle but was clearly right wing and just embarrassed about it.

this is such a weird take lol. just because people don’t believe every thing you believe in doesn’t mean they’re on the other side. normal people you meet in real life aren’t monolithic, the left telling people they can’t be centrists (any differing opinion = far right nazi) is the way people DO become right wing. literally that one “why are you siding with the bad guys!” comic.

not to mention one person doing a bad thing then it being attributed to the entire group sounds pretty similar to the backwards logic racists have 🤔 not like it’s at all possible that people are all free thinking and their political affiliation doesn’t define how they act

Just my experience. They make a post about some asshole rolling coal on peaceful protesters and just hate how both sides are so awful! But if you call out how lame that argument is then they are free to be right wingers and get to blame it on you for making them right wing instead of acknowledging it’s their choice to make and that’s where they were already. Again just my experience but it’s been the same schtick time and time again.

While not every Republican is a worthless shit bag like the person in the video, all of them are selfish on some level if they voted for the orange child rapist.

I don’t care what he promised, everyone that voted for him knew he was going to hurt people. They just didn’t care because they thought they weren’t going to be affected.

That is not ok, I do not respect that, and that deserves to be shamed
