    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.

        Both things make sense together - people care more about not making a mess were they live than were they don’t and left-wingers also think about others rather than just themselves - “do to others what you would like them to do to you” - which in this case means don’t leave your trash behind to dirty up the place were others live, whilst rightwingers are all about what’s best for themselves and in a place were they don’t live simply dropping their trash on the ground and leaving it to dirty up somebody else’s streets is less hassle for them personally than carrying their trash to the nearest trash bin.

      conservatives think anything is a flex as long as they can CO-OPT it into thier realm, they dont have a single belief they hold on to, and quite fickle, today its bad bunny, tommorow, its something else.

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

        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 agree. And it goes the other way too. All the posturing by ICE and the AI-generated ragebait from the whitehouse, all just screams “what would I hate.” They’re making really bad moves, unable to understand how others think, feel, or make decisions. We could double-reverse-uno this situation and ask ourselves “what would they think we think?” It could change everything.

            and a lot less afraid of engaging with people we’ve been taught to fear and hate.

            I think we’re all in more trouble with that than we may realize.

            I encountered an instigator on Saturday. I found myself catapulted into a cyclone of rage all because of what he chose to wear: all pro-trump gear. Not because of what he was doing, which was next to nothing, nor what he was saying which was honestly not all that rage-inducing. I couldn’t think, I couldn’t engage creatively, I couldn’t demonstrate effectively, my empathy went right out the window. I just stood there, fuming and stun-locked. And that was one guy. It’s not like me, and I didn’t used to be like this.

      Death Metal fans are percieved as incredibly violent, but actually are usually super nice…unless you give them a reason to get super violent. Then they’re super violent.

      But after they get done lynching you, they’ll stop for coffee and tea and discuss politics and comunity news.

          When I can afford a meal at a restaurant that has servers? Generally 20% AND I bus my own table regardless.

          I went to a new, delightfully gay hairdresser recently who spent two hours on my own personal episode of Queer Eye for the Less Queer Guy. You bet your little bippy I tipped that man 25% and scheduled a cleanup appointment.

    I dont agree with leaving the trash there, but I understand it. It would have been confusing with all the trash already gathering there.

    They think they are better than other people. They don’t see others as worthy of their consideration. “Am I the only one who is sick and tired of being told to pick up my trash, when we have plenty of janitors who are paid to do it for us?” - advisor to the President Stephen Miller
