it's really annoying that any time something else terrible happens in the US due to our government/whatever, there are people who are in a rush to be like "why are you surprised???" as though it's a contest to be the most jaded possible person about how terrible all of our lives are. don't do this

I'm sorry you're really annoyed. I'm sure continuing to ignoring the people who were right all along because they're "annoying" will make things better for everyone in the future.

I wish these people would learn that there's a difference between being surprised and disappointed. Am I surprised the Supreme Court says "oh republican presidents are basically kings"? No! I am in fact unsurprised and was expecting this! Am I disappointed? Yes, about this and MANY OTHER THINGS.

Yeah, this sort of shit falls into the category of “shocked but not surprised”. Like, yes, I’m not caught totally unawares but it’s still fucking awful and a blow to the remaining good in the world.

Yeah, it is the fucking thing I hate about the left, as someone who's on the left, is that fucking attitude. Like thanks assholes, and what the actual fuck is your plan? Wait for it to collapse? Gee solid plan can't see that going sideways for us, at all.

Tbh I've kinda just been struggling with the fact that I'm probably not even gonna have a genuine, honest future for myself for the past 5 years or so, so I've kinda just given up trying to be surprised at all...

Do you mean people who haven't been yelling and screaming about how this was going to happen for years or those people should be quiet after the things they were screaming about happen?

There's a certain type of person for whom the worst thing you can do is care about anything.

I wouldn’t say I’m surprised by the occurrence, but the depths to which it sinks, whew… I’m always pretty sure there’s a bottom, and I’ll always pretty fuckin’ wrong.
