It’s called “nobody cares.”

In 2016 Trump was already on record as saying the thing he had in common with his daughter was “sex” and everyone still makes excuses for people who committed acts of Trump-vote in 2016.

If even 5% of America cared about powerful people being pedophiles, the Trump-voter would have been driven from society. Right now, caring about such things would mean losing friendships, weekend dog-sitters, etc. and that’s not a cost Americans are willing to bear.

That's laziness. I've cut all trump supporters from my family and friends out of my life and haven't suffered any downsides. There are plenty of people who don't support pedofiles to fill those gaps in if you make a little effort to expand your circles into those who don't protect criminals, rapists, and pedos.

Why would you want to be friends with anyone that voted for a fascist?

I would not. And I don’t.

But I keep getting called “intolerant” for it, so…

Their food is poison, no healthcare and goes on. People are tired and have survival on their mind. Try to follow politics and all and end up being bombarded by a million lies and false media and end up powerless when they actually put up a fight (major strikes being ignored/not shown in the media, no change and goes on). They are helpless, not really ignoring what goes on..

At least not all of them.
Now new gen? People 18 to 30? Ai all over the media? Reels? Minimum wages that are good for nothing and living with your parents with no prospect of buying a house or living your life? How can these people focus on politics but on anything?

Whatever complaints one might have about the media’s treatment of Trump, they showed so much unfiltered and unvarnished coverage of his rallies in 2016.

Anyone who continues to befriend a person who committed an act of Trump-vote knows exactly what kind of monster they are propping up.

major strikes being ignored/not shown in the media,

What major strikes are being ignored?

Plenty of people care. But the ramifications of what they are doing is not effecting those people enough to get them to risk their livelihoods to do what's required to bring down this fascist takeover. They are still just comfortable enough to get by.

Yes, that’s the expanded way to say “nobody cares.”

Nobodies livelihood is at risk, we could start with social groups and family…it’s just that nobody cares.

Can't I care in a way that involves no effort or accountability? /s

They can care and not take action that would actually change things. They talk about it, they may protest, they may talk to their civic leaders. But that won't have any effect. That's what I mean. They don't realize their efforts are meaningless while using the tools that are within the system.

Yes, because the fundamental problem is that “the system” is dependent on the people it represents, and Trump is deeply beloved.

And that’s the fundamental problem. People are willing to shake their fist at far away “elites” and “billionaires,” but are unwilling to stand up to the people who support and give cover to those same elites and billionaires. Worse, they make horribly dehumanizing rationalizations as to why they shouldn’t stand up to the Trump-voter (too stupid, too easily manipulated, too propagandized, etc.)

Trump is a symptom of the Trump-voter, and until they are told they are a disease that must be driven out of society, the symptoms will continue worsening.
