From an elder millennial: a great deal of neolibs are so happy that archives of the early internet are very sparse and that social media either didn’t exist or wasn’t heavily adopted yet, because they were overwhelmingly aligned with the gop in that era

like I know it seems like the dems are handing shit to the republicans now but 2001? 2003? They were actively working with them and americans wanted this

george w had a ninety percent approval rating heading into Afghanistan in 2001, the highest approval rating of any president ever

It dropped in the 2 years heading into Iraq but it was still over 70% which is also extremely high

His approval rating prior to 9/11 was 50-55%

They’ll vote along with trump because that’s what they’ve been doing for literal decades

If we had stuff like the public archives of reddit for 2006 twitter or 2001 livejournal so many 40 year olds would have their shitty conservative past exposed.

Like my high school had a “young republicans club” and the president literally works for the fucking dnc. Like dude you just realized that saying slurs was shitty and that minorities aren’t actually subhuman but you still think poor people are. even minority rights are something you’d prioritize under getting that bag
