Think tactically.

If these people are willing to come over and join the normals, welcome them.

Fuck your vengeance. Shove it up your ass. I get it, it's not wrong, but under no circumstances does a participating member of a team doing critically important work turn down legitimate help (if that's actually what it is) over it.

I'm sure it's a good idea some times and not others. No turning down genuine assistance, and no failing to recognize genuine assistance because you're angry.

as long as they learn to accept the real fight is between the rich and the rest. not between culture wars/gender/race...

otherwise they'll just push any movement into their racist culture war bs.

I don't know the details of this person's story beyond the fact that their child is suffering and experiencing the consequences of how the parent voted. They feel remorse because they/their family are suffering. There isn't anything in that post indicating that they understand how wrong it was for them to vote in a way that would demonize and hurt people they don't agree with, (gay people, brown people, people that don't belong to their religion, blue states that need FEMA aid,) or acknowledgement about how their vote enabled the suffering of others.

I have seen some truly genuine posts from others that did some serious soul searching and display a clear understanding and self awareness about why their vote for Trump was so harmful, and indicated a willingness to do better, be better informed, and to turn away from hate. Those are the people that we should welcome with open arms.

People that feel no remorse for this, and give off the vibe of, "Trump is hurting the wrong people," or, "My case is special, I'm the exception to the rule," would turn around and vote the same way the next election. Despite suffering the consequences of their choices, they learned nothing. So many of these people have refused to learn, even when presented with evidence and facts.

Enjoying the suffering of others brought about by their own actions isn't vengeance, it's schadenfreude. Me driving to Lisa's house and slashing her tires because she voted for fascism would be an act of vengeance.

I will absolutely be hurt by the outcome of the 2024 election. Do you think Lisa will feel any sympathy for me when I get kidnapped off the street for being gay once Trump moves the goalposts for who the undesirables are? I don't believe for a second that she would. So yeah, I'm going to sit here and enjoy Lisa getting what she voted for. She can have my sympathy when I see a post from her expressing actual remorse. She can be welcomed to the fold when she shows remorse. Until then, she will not have the comfort of my empathy.

May her suffering be particularly painful

[–] Washedupcynic@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 day ago

Sad that the child will suffer.

It's so bleak to live in a country where "serial rapist mafia money laundrier and foreign agent intent on dismantling democracy" is politely handed the front door key to the White House, no muss no fuss.

Meanwhile "prole with a shitty Facebook take who feels remorse" gets the Gitmo treatment.

Feels like we're all just crabs in a bucket, while the plutocrats sit down for dinner.

If you already made a mistake once, why in the hell would you repeat it two more times? People in this country are so fucking hopelessly stupid.

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 64 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Oh, Lisa, you stupid fucking moron. I don't feel bad for you. I feel bad for your son. I hope a more intelligent family member successfully sues for custody and prevents you from having any visitation rights before you can do any more damage, you dumbass.

[–] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's just actually unbelievable how stupid these people are. why are so many of them dependent on the state and yet vote to take those supports away.

It's just fucking mind-blowing

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 day ago

Lack of education, for one. 24h propaganda on a certain network billing itself as "fair and balanced," for another.

Poor kid with his dumbass Mom.

[–] ThePyroPython@lemmy.world 23 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I agree poor kid, but unfortunately his suffering is the only way she is going to feel any consequences.

[–] Lemmyoutofhere@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Maybe if they get deported the child can actually get proper health care.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Putting all my chips on "El Salvadorian supermax prison child health care policy".

It's all part of God's plan?

Bootstraps, Lisa. Start pulling. You voted for it, you earned it.

Severely autistic kid off his meds being raised by an unfeeling bitch? GL with that!

[–] RandoMcRanderton@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

To the mom, yes. But the poor kid doesn't deserve her punishment.

I feel like LeopardsAteMyFace could really be distorting our perception of MAGA voters since 1) we don't know what percentage of MAGA voters are now making these sorts of posts, and 2) these posts could be fake. Plus, if there are more D->R converts than R->D converts, which LeopardsAteMyFace ofc wouldn't show us as it is by its nature selective, then paying any sort of attention to the sub would be completely misleading. All that LeopardsAteMyFace does is provide a steady stream of vindication – but there's no guarantee it's indicative of the actual situation. Just a warning.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

So much of the sub is purely reactionary "I'm actually glad the Gestapo is brutalizing people" dogshit takes.

It's everything Lemmy denizens say they hate about .ml or hexbear, but somehow worse because the joke only ever seems to land when the people with the guns are fascists.

[–] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 4 points 1 day ago

100% agree. For every 1 who realizes that the leopards are eating their face, there's 100 who are moisturizing their faces in exoticly spiced butters.
