        ah yes i’m sure it has nothing to do with the dems being completely fucking useless, no it’s definitely just them being smug…

            because it’s not true, them being smug is a tiny fraction of what’s wrong with them, and pretending that it’s worth noting is disingenous.

              The Left appropriated the term “woke” from black jive talk of 90 years ago. That’s a smug term and it definitely is a major gripe by MAGA against the Left.

              It would have been better to use the term compassionate. I know it is four syllables but the Right couldn’t ridicule compassion.

                Have you been paying attention to what’s going on with the right? They’re literally framing empathy as a sin now.

                  Ah yes, I remember an example (are there others?):
