The words “palestine”, “isreal”, “cop”, “police”, “student”, “college”, and “university” appear nowhere on this page.
The front page will be filled with those headlines though on Jan 21 once suddenly all of these things that Biden is doing becomes all of these things Trump is doing
Which, coincidentally, means liberals are the best argument for electing Trump. A huge portion of the nation starts caring about things they should always care about simply because bad man.
Legitimately, there was a revolutionary spirit I could feel that was dissipated when Biden was elected. Motivated people were beginning to turn away from the capitalist status quo, but then Biden wins and the energy became “thank god the adults are back, we can ignore everything again.”
That “Biden saved the 40 hour work week” one is extra hilarious.
You know, the 40 hour work week. The thing that everybody is coming around to agree is outdated and unnecessary and other places are getting rid of and drastically improving the quality of life everywhere its tried.
I’d make a joke about how it’s like if Biden was around in the 70’s bragging about stopping bussing but… uh… ya know.
He also didn’t save it. Most low income workers are either stuck being underemployed at 35 hours or have to take two jobs, working over 40.

The posts on the protests are in every other subreddit where everybody agrees that the cops should be being more violent towards the protestors and also claiming the protestors aren’t doing anything while they post on reddit.
There was a local thread from one of the universities and all thentop comments where “stidents” complaining the protedtors were selfish and ineffective because it was interrupting thier studies.
Saw one post that was basically “I hate the protestors because they caused me to lose a bunch of samples I needed for my masters theisis”
“Really, cus I walked around the campus all day yesterday and could get in anywhere I needed, they were just stopping cops”
“Nope I deff couldn’t get in, somebody should really teach these spoiled brats a lesson”
Meanwhile on Tiktok, videos of the protests have 150k+ likes, and any comments like that get ratio’d into oblivion. Wonder why the government hates it so much.
I’ve really become alienated from liberals in my life due to this.
