The reaction of Democrats from the voters up to the officials did more to "radicalize" me in the last 4 years than anything Trump or his people did

I already knew what they were

I already hated them

The fecklessness of "Resistance" libs is what really broke me https://twitter.com/autogynamelia/status/1338981224195391488

Others have already pointed out how the Trump era brought into sharp focus that politics are about aesthetics instead of substance for liberals and conservatives alike

That offends and disgusts me to my core

You should have that same reaction

Peoples LIVES are on the line

I find comments on Trump's aesthetics more infuriating with every passing day

I DON'T CARE WHAT HE LOOKS LIKE OR WHAT HE EATS

I care about kids in cages and their moms having their guts ripped out

I care about crowdfunds for insulin

And sure I admit it's also personal

Oh so Trump is fat and has bad hair and has trouble finding clothes that look good on him

Haha yeah what a loser

good thing you don't know anyone like that or this could get awkward

Let's face it the real reason Resistance libs focus on Trump's aesthetics at the expense of substance is that a substantive discussion about policy will eventually lead to a place where they'll be forced to interrogate dearly held assumptions and maybe even get less comfortable

When you start asking why we abandon or condemn one group of people to suffer and die needlessly you start asking why we do that to other people too

Pull too hard on one thread of hierarchical patriarchal white supremacist capitalism and the whole tapestry unravels

Democrats in every branch of government at every level could have sacrificed their own comfort, physical and ideological, and used their own bodies to jam up the gears of Trump and McConnell's machine

but they didn't

so it kept running

We shouldn't ever forget or forgive that
