I've said if before and I'll say it again: After decades of fighting for what is right, not what is most lucrative or beneficial for me, I am tired of fighting for people who won't vote for themselves.

@augieray I get the sentiment, but honestly, fighting for the disaffected and disenfranchised is probably the only way out of this mess. Anything else leaves us at the hands of the billionaires

@advicepig Trump owns Congress and SCOTUS. A significant chunk of the "disaffected and disenfranchised" voted for him. I'll always support what's right, but I'm done fighting.
46% of Latino voters
34% of non-Christian, Non-Protestant, and Non-Jewish voters with a religious affiliation (Muslim being the largest block)
45% of women
49% of people who think abortion should be legal in most cases
50% of voters who make less than $50k
They got what they voted for.

@augieray what an interesting take. You're fed up with communities who voted against Trump (but nkt by a big enough margin for you) but not really fed up with the ones who voted for him?
Namely, white christians? ~80+% of Trump voters were white christians.

@dukepaaron @advicepig I think I was clear. I am obviously disgusted with those who voted for Trump, but why fight for people who won't fight for themselves?
I get pissed off at arsonists. But I can still be disappointed at people who know about fire safety yet still throw lit matches around.
Also, I didn't say "fed up." I said I was done fighting for people who won't fight for themselves.
