Right. But you have to read or watch actual fact based stuff to be informed. And to me, that’s one key to defeating MAGA. Keep the facts to bullet points, pros and cons, and simple propaganda posters. And do it before early voting starts, not the day before the election.
Therein lies the rub. Even facts in easily digestible chunks will be rejected by the maga confirmation bias and source filters. To a magat trained to value revealed truth over discovered truth by his religion, the source is far more important than if it comports with other facts or observed reality.
As someone living in the UK I struggle to understand how 50% of the voting public can accept the orange 🍊 clown , along with X man in the highest position . What did our Fathers and Granddad's fight for and sacrifice themselves for . So So Sad .😭😭
It really isn't 50%, it's about 20% of the population and about 1/3 of the eligible voters.
We have over 335 million people in the US, about 100 million are children, most of our adults are eligible to vote so 71 million is about 30% of the eligible voters.
Some voted for abortion bans, not the blob
According to a PBS News report, uneducated voters are flocking to the Republican Party while educated voters are flocking to the Dem Party. Any questions as to why the Republicans are trying to destroy our education system?
The more empathetic you are, the less likely you are to vote Republican.
Republicans tend to only care about their own wallet & their own lives. Self-serving, self absorbed individuals who mostly claim to be Christian but in reality don't give a shit about anothers plights.
Disagree. Some folk are what I call Youtube researchers. They spend all day listening to AM radio, podcasts and watching YouTube videos that feed them disinformation. They are consuming info...they know every political player...they know every conspiracy...they just have the wrong information
A. One has to believes it’s important to be informed
B. One has to search for truth, the search is harder , former sources not as reliable, sources are iffy.
Three of my friends gave these reasons for voting Trump:
1. I watch Newsmax it's unique and gives unusual takes
2. Trump is for the working man
3. China and N. Korea are afraid of him
I voted for Ronald Reagan when I was in Kindergarten and registered as a Republican when I was old enough. The GOP lost me when I got a survey that basically said 'Are you fully on board with our entire platform or are you ready for the downfall of society?'
Voting Republican or Conservative is what voters do if they want to give their fellow man or woman a good kick in the arse… Let’s face it, the way the world is right now. We, all of us who have been silent. Need a good kick in the arse.
This 👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻 We need to get away from pettiness and a good vs bad mentality, because that’s where division is sown. The more we converse in facts and engage in healthy, productive exchanges on specific policies/actions, the better. Let Trump voters feeling regret also feel that they can work WITH us.
I think it goes both ways.
They're informed alright. Republicans know better, but instead, they voted for Trump. Motivations are, money, tax breaks for rich & oligarchs, stay in power, allegiance to a tyrannical king, & other nefarious acts.
All other Republicans are brainwashed by Fox, Elona..
Since I was a young child I was in church and learning about love, kindness, feeding the poor, & not judging others. However, then I heard the adults around me use racial slurs, abuse people & talk badly about people. I knew I was different. Something in me said this isn't the way. Now I'm a dem. 🫶
The root of the problem in “false religion “ is people miss the entire heart of God! Despite telling us repeatedly- the way they know you belong to me is by your LOVE! thankful that you & I are free to Love God and our neighbor- pray that the lost find their way🙏🏽
Dividing us according to political party is probably the wrong way to go about getting more democrates in the house come 2026
The problem being, there is too much misinformation posing news. We need to make news facts based again and run off a couple of lying billionaires spreading it
Right now? 100%. Their party has been taken over by straight-up fascists who are not even bothering to pretend anymore. 😮💨 These are very 💔 days for true Republicans. Stay strong Republican friends. America needs you! You CAN take it back! I believe in you! 💜 non-partisan independent in AR
Best summary I have seen goes back to John Stuart Mill. “I did not mean that Conservatives are generally stupid; I meant, that stupid persons are generally Conservative. I believe that to be so obvious and undeniable a fact that I hardly think any hon. Gentleman will question it.”
They'll have to start pushing back now or they'll be ousted. He intends to do away w congress altogether, & the supreme court. His decisions will be final if they don't start pushing back. He doesn't want anyone getting in his way of bankrupting the US.
They keep saying there are safeguards but...
I am stunned by the apparent lack of critical thinking skills among at least 40% of voters in the USA. I am from Australia and shocked by the indoctrination in to cult worship of a man and movement that is based on falsehoods. Should one blame the education system? perhaps the media is complicit.
Not completely. I blame big data and AI. Most people are followers by nature.
The way some companies, foreign countries or rich men used AI and data collection, helped the propaganda to take over. We’re poorly equipped against that level of manipulation.
Look, calling them fucking dumbasses is not going to win more votes. The elitism of mainstream Democrats loses them more voters than ignorance. Ignorance can be cured. Elitism seems to be entrinched. You will never organize economically disadvantages people telling them they're stupid.
But I wonder if you actually want economically disadvantaged people to vote your way, because it appears you need to publically masturbate your ego more than you need to try to organize people who need good government.
Exactly! The #MAGAts believe in #cheetobenito completely
but there R many more that voted because they believed just 1 or 2 policies then fell 4 the big lie on P 2024 / not him. Now they 👀 he lied thu his 🦷🦷
They R open 2 👀 other lies he told. Help them 👁️
And when Republican votes surpass Democratic votes, what does that indicate? It shows they have fulfilled their pre-election tasks by successfully stupefy the public and feed them with misinformation.
The Jan '81, 'Mandate for Leadership: Policy Management in a Conservative Administration' was a 20-vol. 3,000-page publication. It contained 2,000 suggestions to move the federal government in a conservative direction. It presented an "explicit plan for reshaping public discourse on civil rights" 🤔

Well the older I got, the more college degrees I got, the more liberal I became. Now I’m 40 and considering becoming a Democrat for the first time

Keep them ignorant and the Repubs maintain power.

The more informed you are, the more you realize the value of understanding all perspectives and making decisions based on facts, not just party lines.
Sadly, it is no longer easy. It takeswork.

GOP less informed on truth
Agreed 💯
1. I watch Newsmax it's unique and gives unusual takes
2. Trump is for the working man
3. China and N. Korea are afraid of him
Unless you’re informed by Fox News, etc.
Republicans can be solid human beings even if you disagree with their policies (McCain, Kinzinger)
Democrats can be deplorable humans even when you agree with their policies (Menendez, Adams, Cuomo)
The Lesser of Two Evils Party has a nice ring to it.
MAGAs are universally deplorable
Every member of the Republican Party that stayed quiet while MAGA co-opted the their party? Equally deplorable
I’m waiting for a group to co-opt the Democratic Party that values character and promotes policies for all
Hear that @aoc.bsky.social

Exit polls confirm this
This is real

Punters chose fascism over the guillotine.
It’s inequality!
Punters chose a felon over the status quo.
