I wasn't talking about Hasan Piker, really. I don't agree with him, of course. Let me put it this way: If he'd flipped it around and talked about what a good strategy it was for Trump to get all his followers heated up on lies and ready for violence, get billionaires and media to go in the tank for him, and coordinate with enemies of the US to destabilize our democracy in order to get elected so he could keep kicking out the safeguards and guard rails once he's back in and firmly above the law, seize on any imperfection or compromise in the Democratic side and play it up to the point that a whole bunch of suckers on the left buy into it and depress the vote so he can win, and unfold whatever's coming now... well, if he'd said that, then he wouldn't be wrong. But looking at it purely from a standpoint of strategy, in this context, is missing a massive other aspect. Talking about the Democratic strategy, which I think Piker is probably doing sincerely here, is missing the point in the same way. Even talking about how elected officials can get the support of the voters seems like it'll probably be almost a moot point by 4 years from now.
What I was talking about was OP and the little gang of people who've been spreading the narrative that the Democrats are the worst thing, basically indistinguishable from fascism, and are now having trouble hiding their eagerness to double down on assuring everyone that it's all the Democrats' fault and this whole thing was inevitable. If any of you guys are inside the United States and honestly believe this, have been withholding support until something more to the your liking comes along, thinking that is a good way to make progress... oh my brother, just you wait, and I hope it's not too bad for you, when it comes.
That's why I posted the meme. If OP's really in the US and on the left, they're going to be learning a whole bunch of new songs to sing over the next couple of years, I think.
With sympathy, panicked thoughts about what to do next, and quite a bit of horror? Absolutely.
With a casual blaming attitude, waiting for someone else to make it better? Sure, they're allowed to, just like I'm allowed to tell them to go fuck themselves.
