[How to get away with murder/Scandal]

Transcript by OP

Image: Two promotional posters for tv shows side by side. "How to get away with murder" left and "Scandal" right

Text: I have an easier time rooting for murderers than Republicans.
I realize that's kinda fucked up
I'm not even American

[(Anonymous)]

Fair enough. Me too, really.

Well I have no interest in watching Scandal but I am enjoying How to get away with murder - so I guess I agree with it being easier to root for.


I don't see it as fucked up though, it's not portrayed as good. Just interesting. Shows I find like Scandal tend to skirt the edge of showing it as "okay" behaviour and it creeps me out. (Scandal may not, as I haven't watched it and don't intend to, but it's a trend that has contributed to me not watching that sort of stuff cause I don't enjoy it)

[(Anonymous)]

Well, the odds of you developing a personal relationship irl with a murderer are pretty low, whereas it's highly likely that you'll have a personal relationship with multiple Republicans over the course of your lifetime. In light of that, your behavior is not so strange or fucked up. Fictional murderers are fictional for you. Fictional Republicans remind you of real people you have to deal with.

OP said they weren't from the US, which now is making me imagine another country that for some unknowable reason became totally infested with refugee Republicans.

THEY'RE EVERYWHERE.

(I know where all the refugee Green partiers go, though. THEY go to New Zealand.)

[(Anonymous)]

No, I used to vote Republican, and these days the party's politicians are objectively worse than murderers.

Warmongers who intentionally sabotage environmental law? Yeah, objectively worse.

[(Anonymous)]

Nah, that's perfectly normal. I can at least rationally understand murderers, at least in some situations. I can understand why someone would do something like that. I don't understand homophobes, racists, sexists, and people who think the poor should just go and die already.

[(Anonymous)]

d people who think the poor should just go and die already.

That's not what all of them are saying, though. They just think the poor shouldn't spend money they don't have, and feel hard work is needed, as opposed to welfare and food stamps.

I'm not saying that's not an unfair attitude - it absolutely is imho, because it ignores so, so many things. I'm just saying, some conservatives have a method to their madness.

[(Anonymous)]

there are people who believe that. and they do tend to vote republican. they are barely even a notable minority. they just get a lot of screen time because everyone likes it when they enemies look bad.

[(Anonymous)]

They just think the poor shouldn't spend money they don't have, and feel hard work is needed, as opposed to welfare and food stamps.
But they don't understand that either. My favorite was when Jon Stewart pointed out the Fox News guy who was going on and on about how his hard work for just $2 an hour was able to get him everything he needed and more, so how dare people ask that the minimum wage be raised, when it turned out that with inflation, his $2 was almost exactly equal to the living wage that people were asking for. It's that skewed perspective that really bothers me. "I got mine so fuck you on getting yours. Obviously you aren't working hard enough."

[(Anonymous)]

AYRT - I agree it's a skewed perspective, for sure. They also need to realize that not everyone has the same opportunities, or skills, or interests, even. Why should we punish someone who works at a store by denying them fair wages? I'm just saying how they think. Or some of them anyway.

[(Anonymous)]

"... and feel hard work is needed, as opposed to welfare and food stamps."

You know what? Fuck you. This is exactly the kind of mindset people hate about Republicans, and rightfully so. My boyfriend's mother was a single parent working a low income job and struggling, as you generally do when you have a kid and only have a high school degree. Was she a smart person? No. Was she a nice person? Not really. But she worked as hard as she was able and she still needed the extra help food stamps provided so she and her six year old boy (my boyfriend!) could eat. They were only on welfare for less than a year, which is true for the majority of welfare recipients. They are not the leeches Republicans like to paint them to be, sucking on the government tit from cradle to grave. THAT'S who benefits from the social welfare programs that Republicans love to cut because in their opinion, people who don't work hard don't deserve to eat and neither do their children.

There's no method to that, just pure dickishness. And part of why they get away with selling that load of bullshit to the American public is because people make excuses for them and pretend like it's logical to cut the safety lines for our country's working poor.

[(Anonymous)]

... You know ayrt specifically said they thought that was an unfair attitude as well, right?

[(Anonymous)]

lol calm the fuck down

[(Anonymous)]

"I'm not saying that's not an unfair attitude - it absolutely is imho, because it ignores so, so many things."

[litalex]

Me, too, really... Well, actually I don't know any Republicans. Then again, I'm currently living in Hong Kong.
