broadlybrazen:

I’m gonna dickpunch the next idiot who says some version of “A BAD THING ALSO HAPPENED UNDER [ANY AND EVERY ADMINISTRATION IN 20th/21st CENTURY” with the implication that this means nobody is allowed to be angry when Trump sees various messes and immediately acts to make it 1000x WORSE

1) bitch, people were angry about shit then too! people have been protesting and yelling about injustice ALL THIS TIME and the fact that you didn’t hear them speaks to your own ignorance. also people have been screaming their heads off about problems w/immigration policy as long as I can remember; if you don’t think people have vehemently spoken about these issues since the 90s (at the very least) then you either can’t remember or didn’t bother talking to anyone who DOES

2) my ass couldn’t participate in the political process 20+ years ago because I was in goddamned elementary school. I don’t have to fuckin accept the consequences arising from choices people made then & seeing those consequences makes me even MORE invested in avoiding worse choices now! I’ve seen the harm caused by our nation’s mistakes and you wonder why I protest when folks wanna create even bigger mistakes?! WTF

3) what the fuck is wrong with you that you see a horrifying mess and instead of thinking “WE GOTTA FIX THIS” you fuckin pontificate about the fact that horrifying messes have existed before this and maybe people I like have also made messes

none of us can fix the past but we can always, ALWAYS do something about the present and the future

in conclusion: quit being such weenies and just try to fix broken shit
