That’s what I keep saying. If we want to win over MAGA voters, and thereby win elections, we need to out-MAGA MAGA. Maybe get David Duke to run, promise to deport any non-white hetero non-Christians, regardless of citizenship; no taxes for any corporation or billionaire. 90% taxes for poor.
President Duke will set all tariffs, write unilateral trade agreements, set all prices at the federal level, and set monthly harvest quotas for each district. Any district apparatchik who doesn’t meet their quota will be sent to re-education camps.
If we all would have just supported the party that was funding a genocide while increasing police and military spending, we could have avoided this predictable outcome for another 4 years. 🫠
In modern America, caring about the dignity and well-being of strangers seems like a questionable winning strategy. Noble, sure, but not exactly trending.
I had a cis man tell me I was creating in groups and out groups when I forced a dude out of the community who was sexually harassing children. Like yeah ok dog the in group is not pedophiles
Somehow that kind of goofy sex behavior managed to get associated with "rednecks" (educationally and vocationally) as in the Rednex song "The Way I Mate." I'm "proper" enough not to go link to it, but Google will find you just about anything.
When Bluesky users criticize Trump, they really should embrace those who provide thoughtful counterpoints, such as "Cry more, libtard!" with a gif of Trump jerking off two invisible giraffes.
Yes. I'm pointing out that "discourse" is often just low effort trolling by giving an example of the low effort trolling that I commonly see. I'm not sure how else you'd want me to get that point across.
It’s like having James Carville as your adviser. You really need to listen to alternative views or it becomes as self defeating as we think the right is.
Oddly enough, one could muse on whether God is the same way towards a worldful of sinners. If God didn't have an ultimate heaven and hell to lean ultimate principles on, and a foolproof salvational act to choose or refuse, God would have an insoluble problem.
Still, even earthly life is packed with examples of evil ultimately bringing grief, and goodness ultimately bringing joy. The answer, to me, would be "do what you can to teach, until you have to shake the dust off your feet and go away."
I got trolled by a "don't tell people they're wrong" troll an hour or so ago. Sometimes you just have to tell people they're wrong because failure to do this will kick a can down the road.
Being good people does not mean that we can't or won't fight!
Being anti-evil is actually a good thing when you can also kick ass when necessary & it's necessary !
That anti-evil or pro good is outside the norm in US is rather worrying. I am beginning to think you may have a point. America needs some desperate soul searching, before being forced to do it sitting in the wreck of the country.
Sorry sisters, but the only way we'll appeal to moderate voters is to deport every **other** immigrant as a compromise to deport all of them! If you don't wanna do that, go back to the kid's table and let the adults do politics. 😘
I am surrounded by MAGA. I live with them, not by choice, but out of survival. I hear propaganda all day long. My every waking moment is MAGA in my face. This is my little bit of peace and sense of belonging.
There’s no negotiating with tyrants. I tried engaging in civil conversation and I quickly get oppressed, yelled at, cops called on me, threats, mentally abused, boundaries crossed.
EXACTLY! & very well said! I find it soothing to my peace of mind that the overwhelming majority of those I run into on Bluesky are just decent & kind people trying to do their best.
Well you see centrism is an inherently virtuous ideology. So when posed with evil nazis and anti-evil progressives, the most moral stance is some evil nazis!
It's one of the reasons why I'm tired of trying to help, it's not that it gets me nothing, it's that it has done nothing for anyone else, I'm not improving anything, I'm just not making them worse
I don't go so far as to PRAY for it, necessarily (fear of karma!), but I think we can all agree that an overwhelming number of us would be deliriously ecstatic if certain folks immediately dropped dead or were somehow suddenly removed from existence....in any way. There'd be dancing in the streets!

Schools shut down, law enforcement increased.
This strategy worked well last election, we need to keep reaching out to MAGA voters. They can change! MAGA!
/s 🙄 🤮
That’s what Dwight D. Eisenhower would have done.
wait what does that say about the people in power
Binary reasoning and Tribal Purity tests?
I don't believe the Hive mind is Jiving yet.
Yeah, Twitter is full of assholes but there's actual discourse going on over there.
Interesting.
But my experience is that a long as you don't shove your beliefs down their throat, a lot will talk.
real nefarious hours rn, on some diabolical plotting shit
I've been trying to explain this to people here for awhile now, but who listens to me?
