    people keep saying that. “this isn’t normal”. yes it is fucking normal. you’re just privileged enough you never noticed those in power treating people like this before now. well, now the popular vote just happened to be someone who cares as little for white liberals as he does for minorities. this is what life has always been like for us. time to buckle up and put on your big boy trousers, because if the civil rights movement taught POC anything, it’s that shit don’t get better without violence.

    “this isn’t normal” my ass. lol. lmao even.

      What’s not normal is that this guy doesn’t pretend to care about the people he gets killed. It’s fairly normal otherwise, but there is an aesthetic difference, and since America is full of aesthetes the difference seems large.

      In other words, we’re in the “so rude, no lube” era.

      Nowhere is this made more apparent than in Schumer’s statement about the war. He is basically saying “I would’ve gotten on board with bombing Iran, but you have to shmooze me first!”.
