Republicans/conservatives have been fucking relentless about making sure the Dems don’t get one iota of student loan relief passed, all while they pass out tax cuts for corporations and billionaires like they’re candy. And there are still mouth-breathers out there who believe that Republicans represent the common man?????

A big ol' "go fuck yourself" needs to be directed to Bernie Sanders and his team for not encouraging a cease fire but instead a pause on violence
Words carry weight and it's safe to say he's equally as evil as his coworkers in Congress

Do you think Tyler would go to a pride parade? Or would he have a whole ‘thing’ about it? I think he wouldn’t like the idea of those floats where it’s a company type of thing. I’m not sure 🤔
I’ve actually thought about this a lot. I think Tyler is very firmly of the belief that there shouldn’t be laws outlawing homosexuality because that is not the governments business to control. However, I also don’t think he gives a shit about whether or not gay marriage gets legalized, because he’s very nebulous about his opinions on marriage and thinks it’s none of the governments business who you decide to spend the rest of your life with
That said, Tyler IS bisexual, but he doesn’t use that word to describe himself. Tyler doesn’t like all the specific terminology and the labels and the flags for every single thing. If you had him read a Twitter thread of two chronically online people he’d get a headache. Now, with that in mind, I definitely don’t think Tyler is someone who believes you shouldn’t be open about your sexuality or your gender. He thinks everyone should do what makes them happy, and if someone else doesn’t like it, LETS KILL EM.
However, I think Tyler is very opposed to and actively disgusted by the sanitization of pride. The idea that gay and trans people should just assimilate and be as similar to cishet people as possible… ough that shit makes him heated. Pride started as a riot. Pride is about hating cops for being so up in your business about what you like to do in your free time. The fact that it has becomes such a thing that cops are involved in the process and companies feel comfortable putting their name on it? Gives him the ick real bad.
Final answer: no Tyler wouldn’t go to pride. He’s too busy fucking his boyfriend into the mattress.

it’s so bizarre to me how zionist sweden became in absolutely no time at all? like the state radio channel (allegedly) told employees to not use the word palestine. palestinian as an ethnicity yes, but not the country palestine (they’re supposed to say “palestinians in gaza” and “palestinians in the west bank ” instead of just “palestine” in any situation), meanwhile sweden has recognized palestine as a state since 2014??

It is fucking WILD to me how fast Rashida Tlaib got censured while Matt Gaetz gets to run his fucking mouth about every little thing despite the SEX TRAFFICKING INVESTIGATION he is still under, with a seventeen year old girl no less.

Statistics from the Federal Bureau of Investigation show that crime in the U.S. decreased between 2022 and 2023. In fact, according to crime researcher and AH Datalytics co-founder Jeff Asher, violent crime is at one of its lowest levels since 1950, with significant declines in murder and gun violence. Nevertheless, Fox News has consistently downplayed and disputed these statistics, placing more emphasis on peoples’ feelings about crime than on actual crime rates.

FUCK THE DEMOCRATS AND THE REPUBLICANS!!!
#I think its very intuitive why people hate the republicans no explanation needed#but the democrats OHHHHH THOSE FUCKING DEMOCRATS#SPINELESS LYING HIDDEN RIGHT WINGERS THOSE FUCKING DEMOCRATS#just a party of no values they just exist to get votes and will say whatever they want to get them#those evil ratpublicans will stand ten toes down for their hateful beliefs and thats how they get votes#cause when those mfs promise to take away human rights they fucking mean it#and their brainless base of losers will gladly vote for them everytime#even when their lives are eventually ruined to#but the fucking democrats will endlessly pander towards the center rather than appealing to the majority left#why? because they aren’t actual leftists left wing politics puts their privilege and power in check which is why they’ll never be left#and second they exist to be elected thats it and their strategy is to make promises that appeal to the left and then never carry it out#and they don’t seem to realize that that only works every few election cycles because#now I guarantee they will lose the house and the senate cause those idiots never do anything and then blame their base#like if you wanted votes you should’ve made americans want to vote for you dumbasses we should not have to keep compromising our values#so you people can stay in office AND DO NOTHING FOR US!!!#thats all this is. just americans compromising their values until those parties become 1#and thats what gets on my nerves republicans will never compromise but those fucking democrats oh compromise is their middle name#I DO NOT WANT COMPROMISE FOR HUMAN RIGHTS YOU EITHER GIVE THEM OR YOU DON’T FUCK YOU!#and this is why I hate the lesser of two evils logic like im not choosing between a group of killers and a group of lying killers#cause thats what pro life is. it means letting pregnant people die#GOODBYE!

People who try to analyze what happened on Tumblr on November 5th, 2020, often really overstate how much it was actually “about” Supernatural. As someone who has never been in the supernatural fandom ever but dID join in on the hysterical destielposting—it was really more about the stress of the pandemic and the 2020 presidential election.
The two biggest Youtubers I’ve seen try to dissect “what happened that November 5th” in video essays both weren’t American—- and I think that explains why they both tried to explain the hysteria primarily via analyzing the Supernatural fandom/the original show, rather than through the lens of the election. And while those videos are cool, valid, informational, and make lots of really well-considered interesting points— I can tell you that me and almost all my mutuals had literally no knowledge or interest in the fact that “oh supernatural had made nods at the ship in the past but the creators were adamant that I wouldn’t be canon” or etc etc etc etc. the first time I learned about any of that context was way later, watching videos where people claimed that fandom history context (that I did not know anything about) was the actual reason for the hysteria.
But the reality is that people latched on to the Destiel stuff because it was a piece of big useless inane zero-stakes fandom news in a time when we were desperately waiting for serious high stakes election news. We were latching onto a “positive “ piece of inane stupid fandom news in a time of great stress, with all the desperation of a drowning man who latches onto whatever piece of wood will keep him afloat.
The core of the hysteria was that Americans (who make up a huge chunk of tumblr’s userbase) were currently glued to their laptops watching the live presidential election vote counts come in. These vote counts were taking an extended amount of time due to the pandemic causing high numbers of mail-in ballots, resulting in a constant state of Election Day Stress for multiple days straight.
This was also during the height of the Pandemic. People had predicted Trump’s presidency would be bad; no one had predicted it would be this apocalyptically bad. No one had predicted pandemics and lockdowns and hospitals overflowing with bodybags. remember Trump spreading Covid lies and conspiracies?? There were so many Qanon conspiracies about democrats being Satanic child traffickers who had to be put to death, and coup threats were mounting from the right wing side. It seemed like this election was a choice between ‘centrist democrat’ and “apocalyptic right wing conspiracy theory authoritarianism,” in the midst of pandemic conditions that people feared would never ever improve— and it seemed like a close election.
Another major point was that Trump voters were more likely to be antimaskers/Covid deniers, while Biden voters were more likely to take the pandemic seriously— so Biden voters were more likely to send in mail-in ballots instead of risking the in-person voting crowds, which meant their ballots would take much longer to count. And so, in many state electoral vote counts, it would initially seem like Trump was very far in the lead— only for Biden to slooooowly build up an agonizingly small lead as the mail in ballots came in, and then defeat Trump at the very end.
So you’re just watching these news sites giving live election updates, refreshing the page every 2 minutes to see if you’re going to live under a spineless centrist democrat or a literal Qanon Dictatorship. And then you go on tumblr to distract yourself, and there’s more election posting, and more agonizing over the votes, and more stress and despair—-
And then it’s been days and we’re right at the crucial tipping point where it’s anyone’s game and the next few hours will determine whether Trump will win, so you need to keep your eye on the vote count, because the next hours will determine the future of the pandemic and your country and your plans for your entire life—
And then stupid Destiel becomes canon! And it becomes canon in the silliest way possible!
If Destiel had become canon at any other time, it would have been a big goofy tumblr celebration? But we wouldn’t have gotten the insane explosion of hysterical interaction.
The entire core of it was the contrast between the inane meaningless stupidity of fandom news vs the actual stressful election news you wanted to hear! It really is best conveyed in that meme where Castiel says “I love you” and Dean indifferently responds with a piece of important election news.
It’s about the contrast between the low-stakes inanity of fandom and the massive life-destroying stakes of a terrifying election. There really was no reason it had be Supernatural specifically, except that Supernatural was a thing everyone knew basic things about from dashboard osmosis— it could’ve been any other equally huge silly fandom ship news about a ship everyone *knew of* but might not necessarily be invested in (ex. Stucky becoming canon, Johnlock becoming canon, Kirk/Spock becoming more canon somehow, etc etc etc.)
I think it’s true that people who weren’t paying agonizingly close attention to the American election news got swept up in it, and that non American Supernatural fans also were extremely excited for purely fandom reasons — but the entire reason it blew up to an unprecedented degree was because of that core of stressed out terrified Americans glued to their computers watching election results and suddenly receiving stupid fandom news instead, and deciding to just hysterically parodically hyper-celebrate this absurd useless zero-stakes news.
Tumblr media
I think it was also all elevated by the fact that, as I said before, this happened at the crucial “tipping point” of the election where the next few hours would determine the winner. The fact that Biden began to slowly develop a lead in the hours after made it feel, hysterically, as if the hours after Destiel became canon was somehow the turning point where he began to win; so celebrating Destiel felt like celebrating that slow turn towards victory.
The tl,dr is that it’s so important to Remember the Fifth of November …..in preparation the inevitable hysteria that will happen in the presidential election on November 5th of next year. XD. Personally I’m rooting for Johnlock or Frodo/Sam to somehow become canon in the eleventh hour right before the democrats win

part of the issue with political empathy discourse a la “what would you say if it was your kids under the rubble???”—and i’m far from the first person to say this—is that american (evangelical) conservatism specifically is designed such that someone’s kids have to be under the rubble. they want it that way and they like it that way. i teach at a large public university in the south and i’ve had students full-throatedly and earnestly expressed the belief that capitalism is good BECAUSE someone has to be on the bottom on the ladder for it to work. it’s the fabric of the whole thing. you will not appeal to them through “what if it was you” because it’s NOT them, because it’s not supposed to be, because they’re chosen and highly favored. it’s the natural order of things. that’s the fully-engrained belief system.
