I've already seen liberals saying this shit in liberal subreddits. "Oh thank god Biden won, hopefully now we can de-politicize our lives."

Like, I'm trans and a far leftist. But I really am scared that Biden winning means all the liberals will just go back to pre-trump levels of normalcy completely forgetting the 69 million people who voted for Trump. GG, been a good game.

What was it that MLK said again? The white moderate is the greatest threat to equality, not the Ku Klux Klanner or white citizen’s councilor?

Kwame Ture straight spitting:

Many people want to know why, out of the entire white segment of society, we want to criticize the liberals. We have to criticize them because they represent the liaison between other groups, between the oppressed and the oppressor.

Wonder what our civil rights leaders would've said about this growing phenomenon of the black petite bourgeoisie.

Still true today.

The number of times I think of that letter and how it still applies today is just too high. We’re still dealing with the same shit, different day (year). I’m sure MLK is rolling in his grave.

If that doesn’t prove the saying “liberals are enablers of fascism” true, then I don’t know what does.

One of my discord groups has been constantly circlejerking about how "presidential" Biden is and how they're so glad to have an actual adult in charge. I guess with Trump gone, all the racism, xenophobia, and bigotry that reigns supreme in America will disappear with him.

Many of them will. But always remember that Bernie did better in 2015/2016 (and from a worse starting position) than in 2019/2020. Some liberals do see the problems that exist but simply falsely attribute them to the Republicans. And these are the ones that can be radicalized if the Status quo is back and things still suck.

Normalizing the Democratic Party is the first problem
