There’s a whole group of unreconstructed 2017 liberals who have been holding out like those Japanese soldiers on the Pacific islands after WWII
They are reading the Steele Dossier and talking about Carter Page. They have memorized every Tweet that Louise Mensch ever posted. They know that Putin is gearing up to steal another election. They are breathlessly sharing EPIC CLAPBACKS by Nancy Pelosi. They are replying to r/politics posts by u/PoppinKREAM. They are analyzing the attire of world leaders in obsessive detail in case there might be a snarky broach. They are awaiting this verdict with bated breath. The fate of democracy, no, the world is literally at stake
These people are as detached from reality as the most Q-pilled uncle, but they are at least much less likely to own a gun, and plunking them down in front of CNN or NPR can have a soothing effect if they get too agitated and start thinking about doing anything that might have an actual impact on the world
Since I saw this a few weeks ago it lives rent free in my mind. Amazing copypasta.
It needs a pussyhat.
whats new pussyhat wooOOooOOoOOoooo
I read this as Tom Jones sounding like a spooky ghost
Lol.
Holy fuck it’s been 7 years
7 years aint nothin changed
I would also add a dash of Pod Save America. 2017 me definitely listened to them for a year or so before I was turned on to Chapo
Fuck you, i had genuinely forgotten almost all of this. FUCK YOU.
Its a good thing I was addicted to drugs then and remember basically none of this year
it was painful then and it’s painful now.
I was going through college courses before and after this and I gotta say the culture was much better before 2016, largely due to this.
I remember being otherwise a standard liberal, but begging people to cut it with the Harry Potter references and read something else. Glad that has at least improved a bit.
Wtf is Hamilton and why is it liberal ,I gotta admit it sounds so fucking white
A hip-hop themed musical about the life of Alexander Hamilton that presents it as the tale of a plucky immigrant from the Caribbean coming up to take America by storm
It’s unimaginably lib
craKKKers
It’s a musical glorifying the American founders, Alexander Hamilton in particular. And it’s even more bizarre because most of the historical people who were white slave owners are usually played by black and brown people. It’s truly weird and liberals adore it.

ewwww
It’s a musical about the “American Founding Fathers”, so your gut instinct is absolutely correct
craKKKer moment
Made by a poc lmfao
Nature is healing
I think Hamilton is a reflection of the anti populist attitudes held by the kind of people who run the Democratic Party today. They are elitist technocrats who are antidemocratic, anti immigrant, and most importantly pro finance, like the real Hamilton was. To make these unpopular policies legitimate they present the policies with a brown face. The musical is the perfect metaphor for that. I mean, this is a guy who in reality wanted America to be an elective monarchy and called the people a “great beast.” Someone who was hated by the same New Dealers that libs want to forget ever existed. If you told FDR that 80 years after his time, the people running his party we’re celebrating the legacy of a man who was the political rival to Thomas Jefferson: a man Roosevelt considered to be one of the founders of the Democratic Party; he’d be greatly confounded.
My skeleton wants to jump out of my body to attack the screen. What a terrible time.
