One of the most annoying things to run into when talking to white dudes is the pernicious idea that being fervently against bigotry makes one less manly

Why does my old friend have to have an antisemitic dog whistle in his Instagram bio? Why can't suburban white guys just be normal?

"Either have a perfect, bloodless revolution that leads to a seamless transition of power or it isn't worth it," claimed the unread fool who believes he means well.

I'm tired of business owners shoving their love for Trump down my throat. It's disgusting and it shouldn't be allowed around children.

Every other article in US news:

(Insert thing or idea) Is Broadly Popular With The American Public, But One Of The World's Most Reprehensible People Feels Otherwise

Here's why* that matters

I've heard of "all eyes on me", but "all eyes in me" is ridiculous

Lmao is this supposed to be a bad thing?

A tweet from Bari Weiss that says “"It's shaken me to my core," a lieutenant said of Mamdani's unexpected victory in June. "The absolute dread I feel is palpable.

Today in @TheFP our @Olivia_Reingold talks to the cops who say they will walk if Zohran Mamdani is elected in November:”

Who'd have thought you can't deregulate your way to worker protections?

"I didn't literally say that"

No but it's the implication of your statement given our current conditions. Sorry for understanding what you believe better than you do, I guess.

Too high minded to take their own side in a fight, etc

I have this wild notion that adopting reactionary rhetoric will lose a progressive party many times more voters than vague "wokeness" ever would

Brawnald Dangerson @brawnald.bsky.social · 9h

We just want someone official to oppose the clearly bad things that most everyone hates. It doesn't feel like asking a lot and yet...

Brawnald Dangerson @brawnald.bsky.social · 9h

I don't wish harm on everyone who disagrees with me. I just want them to recognize that through all the puffed up idealism, at the end of the day, we're already on the same side and our enemies are already aligned against us. They're not hiding it anymore. Let's kick some ass.

Trying to imagine someone in Dem leadership when asked if they're seeking to abolish ICE

"Well no (closes mouth as flop sweat pours over lips) because we need to defend our, erm (takes a whole minute to swallow with a completely dry mouth) white women and children (meekly puts up Roman salute)."

Brawnald Dangerson @brawnald.bsky.social · 9h

Lot of good anti ICE sentiment in the public but the Dems won't touch it with a 10 foot pole. They'll let that notion die just like everything else their voters want.

It’s impossible to overstate how much “abolish ice” is the normie position now here in chicago — just countless random moms at toddler soccer on a park district field asking me where I bought my anti-ice t-shirt. average people don’t like our neighborhoods being terrorized.

A friend ran the Chicago marathon today and said he couldn’t count the number of FUCK ICE signs along the way.

Experts think one thing but airheaded dipshits are paid by billionaires to claim something else. Who can say what is true?

It can't be pointed out enough that Republicans reached out to their growing youth base while Democrats crushed theirs
