There comes a point where you become complicit in your own abuse. If you're a person with a disability it should be painfully obvious to you which part of the isle you should be on...and if you're not, then yeah. I blame you.
It's adult time. Time to be a big boy a realize you fucked up.
You came to a post about disabled people getting screwed over by Trump, which I'm p sure didn't mention Trump voters at all, and asked who they voted for. Again, who asked for that? Why come here looking for an excuse to shit on disabled people? Ffs it's a post about the Trump administration harming disabled folks, what's your excuse for bringing your liberal superiority complex into it? People are getting hurt and you wanna score points off the ones who got conned into voting against a party that would've screwed them less. Being an asshole out of pocket sure as hell won't win those people back
Why would anyone want to win them back? Either you have emotional intelligence and understand that the Trump platform is bad and evil, or you don't. It's not some contest to see who can "convert the most people."
Fact of the matter is, is that if you vote against your own self interests, I have no sympathy for you. You would have been all "hazzah-hazzah!" when Trump was talking about ruining everyone else's life, but now that he's coming after yours, you're all pissed off?
How is a reasonable person supposed to have sympathy for that? I'm totally against harming the disabled. That's why I didn't vote for Trump. But how can I look at some dude in a wheelchair who voted for Trump and not think "you stupid piece of shit, you did it to yourself." It is what it is at this point. He told everyone exactly who he was, and exactly what he was about from the beginning. It's like a bunch of Vegans electing a Lion to lead them only to be totally fucking shocked when he pulls out his meat agenda. It's astonishingly stupid.
Has nothing to do with being liberal, center, or right, despite how hard you're fighting to make it that way--even though I don't even identify as a liberal... lol so nice try.
Again, who asked? This post isn't about Trump or Kamala or any election, it's just about disabled people getting fucked over. You're blatantly looking for excuses to shit on marginalized people. Only going after the "bad" ones isn't any less transparent than people complaining about white women, you just don't like disabled people.
I never even mentioned people who voted for Trump, those people are stupid for sure. I'm talking about the shit ton of people fucked by Democrats who didn't vote for them bc they don't see a point. They're handily proving that there's no point to supporting liberals, considering the absolute lack of resistance from them. You can either tell your party to improve, or just push those people away even harder.

You're making this about the election when it's not. Quit acting like you're innocent here, and don't deny being a liberal when you're literally copying how they treat minorities. People deserve respect regardless of whether or not they voted for your guy, quit making this about you and your need to feel superior to others
