If you talk to anyone affected by the proposed policies you’d know there’s a fucking lightyear of distance between the two. Its not sugar coating. You can measure the difference in gallons of human blood.
Gay and trans people are fucked by this. The supreme court is fucked by this. Ukraine is fucked by this. The climate is fucked by this. Immagrants are fucked by this.

I’m sure you saw the people in portland being disappeared in vans during the riots there in 2020.
Every extra person that dies or suffers because of this shit is on the bloody hands of assholes that sat this election out because picking a lesser evil was too hard of a choice for their delicate constitutions.
You are doing all these people a disservice by trying to console them for being cowards and sitting things out. And they are cowards. The only sugar coating going on is to say they are not.
And now we need to toughen them up. Because they chose a more difficult path for everyone.
