Maybe? Absolutely liberals care more about their communities. Part of conservatism is that you don’t give a single shit about anyone but yourself. Maybe your kids. But that’s only if they’re straight and cis.

The right-wingers also aren't from the place they have these rallies at usually. They drive all over the country and get bussed around for these events to make the movement seem more popular. But when there are large progressive/left protests or events, they are mostly actually from that area so they care more about not making a mess.

Animals. That trash is how their brains must be.

Conservatives think destroying the community is a flex.

MAGA is white trash. …And pick me trash. To be fair. I wish we could just split the country at this point. Irreconcilable differences.

Literally what the controlling donor-class want more than anything.

The more we're divided, the less chance we have of making unified actions against corporate power and capital.

Do you think they will stop at left-versus-right? Why do you think there's so much infighting within left and right groups? Agitators are already in our midst driving up contention with rage-bait politics and they amplify the worst positions on both sides of every issue. They want every single American to be alone, inside their home, browsing a shopping feed.

Well most of project 2025 has been implemented so unless we do something soon we are trapped in a christofacist oligarchy for the foreseeable future. The cage is closing

I'm sorry but that is objectively untrue.

https://www.project2025.observer/en

48% of project 2025 has been done, which hardly qualifies as "most"

Speak to me at 51%

48% since the end of January and you’re not concerned? It’s moving at lightning speed

It was a joke,.I was just being pedantic

Got the message

While in general the comparison is true, in the specific case of the Kirk circlejerk, people specifically were told to leave their shit outside the venue and TP paid for the cleanup.

Even if being told, who drops their trash on the streets?
