Why does it feel that the evil sides globally are winning. Even evil people are winning. Why?

    I’m going to take a different tack on this than other responses: evil is winning because good is dumb.

    A lot of progressive groups within the past few decades, whether it be Occupy, Black Lives Matter, or others, can’t seem to actually get their policies enacted on a mass scale. In cases where politicians actually go through with their policies, those progressive groups won’t support those politicians from getting voted out and having the reforms reversed.

    Trump got elected, in part, because progressives didn’t want to vote for Genocide Joe and Copmala. Yet, you don’t see progressives building the kinds of political groups needed to wil elections like the right has.

      As a progressive, I can tell you that the idea of Genocide Joe and Copmala compared to the antiChrist who wants to eradicate entire peoples…

      Yeah, you would have to be an incredibly naive and stupid person to vote for Trump and company.

        There were tons of discussions about how a lot of progressives couldn’t bring themselves to vote for Democrats, so they didn’t vote.

        I wouldn’t expect them to vote for Trump.
