Another take:
The happy rider, is a conspiracy theory enjoyer. Happy in the “knowledge” that someone (anyone) is at the controls of the world, it gives comfort in a perverse way. Even though they know that the “controllers” are doing bad things.
The sad rider, is a realist. Can see that they are stuck on a trolley that is currently plowing through people, their personal actions mean nothing in the aggregate of all other actions in the world. They saw that the person at the leaver chose to keep themselves pure, rather than reduce the suffering in the world and taint themselves in the process.
Person on right is glad because they saw the death that was avoided. Person on left is sad because they see what is lost. America voted which path, and I’ll be generous and say that neither passenger could see the other side’s track
The guy at the switch represents dem “leadership”.
It took the combined efforts of a lot of people to accomplish the Trump presidency. It took Harris’ weak platform, it took tankies’ attacks on Harris, and it took voters believing that Harris was worse than fascism. It’s a democracy, and that means millions of people share the blame.
Jesus Christ stop with this “tankies” bullshit already. Go outside. I fucking wish there were millions of “tankies” out there swaying US elections, but there aren’t. Attacks land most solidly when they are based in truths. I personally did not vote for Harris because of her unapologetic support for Israel’s genocide. How many other people did the same? A hundred thousand maybe? A couple hundred thousand?
The democrats fucked up by assuming that “not Trump” would get out the vote like it did in 2020. Unfortunately, they haven’t done shit for people since then. They’ve had 4 years to get shit done that nobody could argue with, but they didn’t. Instead, they took a hard right turn in the campaign (Gaza, border policy, “muscular military”, etc). Predictably, this didn’t " energize the base".
Democrat leadership decided fascism was preferable to any capital concessions to the working class. It wasn’t the first time, and it won’t be the last.
I don’t understand what this is supposed to be. The path we just took was toward the people and we also added spinning chainsaws to the front of the trolley
The one person on the path not taken signifies that we are taking the path lined with bodies…
This is brilliant
