    There is legitimately an argument to be made that a Trump presidency is better for progressive causes.

    When trumps president Pelosi dresses up in a Kente cloth and libs go to protests about rhe camps.

    When a dems president Pelosi tells the same people they don’t understand how politics works and liberals accuse you of being a Russian if you say the concetration camps are bad.

      But you must remember that all the lib theatrics didn’t result in an end of the cages, but just to the very same liberal leadership and justification of said cages.

      So the progressive causes don’t benefit from liberals under Republicans as the liberals are powerless. Liberals just benefit from progressive causes while powerless, then when they gain power again, they abandon them.

        Absolutely. And maybe dems being in power really is better in the long run because they spend literally all their time doing nothing and punching left. And people notice that overtime, no matter how many incredulous articles libs write about not understanding why they’re losing ground with all the groups they’ve gleefully thrown under the bus to get moderate fascists attention.

        Idk maybe it’s just a personal preference after accepting that libs aren’t ever going to do anything meaningfully good that it’s at least better to have a lib agree with me that the concentration camps are bad then to have them reflexsively start attacking me if I say concentrati9n camps are still bad when a fems in charge of them.
