i keep constructing elaborate political speeches in my mind. as if somehow if i could just talk to pvv-voters compellingly enough, explain to all of em why this is moronic on every level, they'd all suddenly find out that they're actually leftists at heart who just heard a few facts wrong

#as if the racism is an accident instead of the driving force #i spent too long looking at twitter replies and there are a lot of people who voted for wilders so obviously a lot of different types too #theres the naive ones who genuinely seem to regard politics as kind of a game thats being played to the sidelines #you cheer for your team but it doesn't ACTUALLY have an effect on reality. So stop complaining! cheer up!#theres the dumb ones who 'just wanted something different' and who thought 'well the Left screwed things up'#- weve had a centrist/right government for over a decade -#'so lets try the right ¯\_(ツ)_/¯'#and then theres just the unapologetically islamophobic who DEFINITELY are NOT racist~#they júst want all brown people to go back to 'their own' country #and if you call thát racist! well then! you are protecting the fundamental rights of muslims right to religion so obviously you also suppor #extremist governments in the middle east! and those are also discriminatory! which somehow makes the pvv nót discriminatory even though #they're drawing a direct comparison between themselves and these extremist governments! so there!#... anyways #very very very minor point but this also once again strengthens my resolve to not reblog or dive into every terrible news story from #usamerican politics despite how guilt-trippy posts about them get;#cause the only people on tumblr ive seen reblog aaanything at all about these results are dutch themselves #ik its not like we have a similar influence to the entire usa at all. but neither does random kentucky county elected official number 9 and #i still hear about them all the time #it makes sense for the circles im in dont get me wrong. just annoying.#joos yaps #delete later
