I’d much rather he die in prison.

Says the man who’s entire politics are motivated by grievance and revenge.

We should all be so lucky to have our hearts and public noises unambiguously left aligned, while relying, in our heads, on most of the conservative policies supported by the politicians we despise. So fortunate to be in such a no lose space.

A weird thing happens to musca domestica larvae, they assume that being anti-Trump makes someone unambiguously lefty. Despite my many thousands of posts to the contrary.

Is this where you attempt to gaslight people into believing you’re a confirmed centrist on national politics? While obviously being terrified of being associated with the right?

How could I ever get away with that after so many years of carrying water for AOC and Bernie Sanders?
You think I’d risk getting kicked out of the local BLM chapter just to impress you?

Your emotes are homogenous in their valence. (That sentence was for you 89th).
And you know emotes are how to establish social credibility.

Revenge? Nah, I'd like to see a reckoning.
Some people are quite comfortable with a biased justice system, where some are favored and some are persecuted based on political affiliation. I am not.
Some people are comfortable with questionable elections, as long as their candidate wins or their hated candidate loses. I am not.
Some people are comfortable looking down their nose at normal Americans, who long to see their country returned to Reagan's vision of a shining city on a hill. I am not.
Some people are quite happy with bloated bills that preserve Wall Street tax breaks, while simultaneously unleashing a new ravaging horde of tax collectors on the poor and middle class. I am not.
Some people will support the election of a dementia patient to the most powerful position on the planet, if it slakes their thirst for political blood. I do not.
And if it takes introducing a catalyst in the soup of the Washington Swamp, to shake the foundations of the current banana republic, to try to corral inflation, secure the border, kill CRT in the schools and let the military get back to its job, rather than sensitivity training...Why, yes. I'm for that.

Speaking of how, in the end, peoples' fundaments govern how they vote, which you weren't but I am, I just redd this from Mike Manson, which probably answers that as well as anything:
"You see, our rational brains are absolutely terrible when our emotional brains are firing on all cylinders. From an evolutionary standpoint, the emotional brain is too old and too important for our survival that our rational brains sometimes can’t even get their shoes on before our emotions have burned the damn house down."

Well circa 100% of the political messaging we’re exposed to is designed to maximize our emotional response. So I guess this figures. The anti Trump messaging is entirely about maximizing the fear and disgust reactions. This works well.
