I constantly see angry mobs of people decrying “woke”, “critical race theory”, ““grooming”, and whatever other nonsense they made up this week. They march around with guns, constantly appending lib as a prefix to any word they can use to denigrate. They actively plot violence and spew hatred in the open.

You never see the inverse. There is no ConservativesofTiktok getting churches harassed into shutting down for the day or calling in threats. You don’t see cringey boomer memes on the left. And whenever I openly express those feelings, try to create that sentiment; I get shut down. Noone agrees, I’m often shamed and muted. I just don’t understand why that parity exists, it’s extremely isolating to feel so alone in this

      fear leads to anger.
      anger leads to hate.
      hate leads to fascism, i guess.

          Conservatives on Degobah: there’s probably oil here that must be liberated.
