Can they be educated though? I’ve been trying with some of my family members and it’s complete blind following worship to this group and this false idol.
Truth! I was told “F… YOU”-by my brother-his response to something I posted on Instagram. I told him my post was based on the BS the orange messiah had spewed & even sent some examples. I got nothing after that. 🤷🏻♀️
There is a distinct possibility they are uneducable. MAGA is a cult.
There may not be too many survivors.
Mandate Civics and government classes throughout elementary, middle & high school. Teach children how to identify propaganda. We must work to develop critical thinking skills.
Universal Healthcare is the first step in reducing poverty, trauma, hopelessness. WE MUST, if we want to survive.
I'm writing this as I am attempting to immigrate to another country, bc I have fought this for way too long & I am tired. This is the recipe for success for future US generations.
I've been in deep Alabama doing the hard work for 8 years. They really don't care to hear anything that may be negative about their orange god. Many actually get irate, to the point it's scary. After seeing that roughly 130mil of Americans have a 6th education. It's the only thing that makes sense.
I still say we need to do short hitting, catchy fact driven ads like the old School House Rock on social, particularly X. “I’m just a tariff, I’m only a tariff… “ Seriously, the very basics are lost let alone what a tariff is. People think the President is Egg master or something.
Sadly, their ears are closed and their eyes are shut. I don't think they can hear anything from us. They just have to experience the downfall of their decisions
There is no educating those people we need a country of our own, arnt you tired of supporting shit holes, and red necks who offer nothing to the economy and only complain about the very same government that issues their Medicare and assistance checks, California could be the 5th largest economy
They are not educable. Theyre the kids in class that don’t wanna be there. They don’t have the will or desire to learn. They simply don’t care. It doesn’t matter what you try to teach them. If it goes against their beliefs they shut you off. It’s social time for them. You get nothing but back talk.
I’m going to go out on a limb here but maybe what turned a lot of the reachable ones off was our party constantly telling them how badly they needed our education.
1,000%. They won't want to hear it, will fight not to hear it & will attack back but we must persist. In many cases I truly believe they don't understand the whole issue & long term ramifications of what they've supported.
I‘m afraid it’s a lost cause in the majority of cases. They have been so deeply indoctrinated, they won’t believe anything except what they want (or are told) to believe. I tried as a pastor and it did nothing but disappoint me. It pretty much burned me out.
Yeah, but how is that done without hurting their feelings. They do not like being told they have the facts wrong. (E.g. a surprisingly high percentage of MAGA voters believed the U.S. was in recession.)
Not gonna happen. 54% of Americans between the ages of 16 and 74 have a literacy below the sixth-grade level. This is most evident in the red states. Politicians hold the public purse and the last thing they want is a well-educated electorate capable of critical thinking.
And they’ll Kill the DOE.
not sure that is possible. Any education, fact, data that doesn’t confirm their cult perspective is deemed woke and fake. There’s another way to educate them, and that’s the find out phase of FAFO. I’m in favor of that kind of education.
Trying to educate MAGA has only served to educate us in futility. Maybe instead of thoughtful and insightful words, they just need smack or 2 on the side of their noggins like 1980 TVs? I certain haven't tried that yet. Seemed to work in the 80s... 🤔
There’s dumb and then there’s uneducated. When you look at the normal bell curve of intelligence the average IQ is 100, with a standard deviation of 15. 68% are within +,- 1 SD of the mean. 14% are -1 to -2 SD. Another 2% are from -2 to -3 SD. So 84% are average intelligence or below. Can’t fix that
How? idealists aren’t ready to get a grip on reality yet either. Everyone living in their own world. In that environment how do you even communicate information?
They are anti-education and are too lazy to research. So how do you propose we do that? These people should be deported in my opinion, they stand against everything this country stands for. And charge any veterans for going against their oath.
They are spoilt irresponsible chaos agents and rage addicts. They must learn the cost of their behavior. We must stop protecting them from the consequences of their own folly.
Education overcomes belief systems but only with intellligent people. They believe in lies: republicans are better for woriking people (crazy lie), republicans will lower their taxes (yeah for the rich), republicans are against war (hahahaha), trickle down economics (bah hah), so this is a problem.
But first they must first WANT to be educated. Many of them are totally content just living blissfully in the bubble that they have created (with the help of FOX, OAN, etc.
I have family that will not listen to facts, calling them left-wing propaganda or fake news and takes any word his savior says as certified gospel. He won't listen until he loses his SS, Medicare., as well as any help his g-children receive.
UN has projects around the world for education with partners( local or intl.) needs something like that which may work. It was my thought once after 2016 election!
The only way they will learn is if they suffer & then Only 1/2 will learn. They’re really really stupid. Trump showed us who he is for the last 10 yrs & they still don’t get it.
The tactics are wrong. The Dems say things like “existential crisis”. They have no idea what that means. Say the simple stuff. Walz had a knack. We def need these again about the basics.
Good luck with that.
Most appear to have chosen not to learn anymore.
Whether it is because they are ignorant, arrogant or just religious, they have decided that they wish to remain stupid.
I think they’ll educate themselves when they see what’s going to happen. Maybe not. I really don’t think they are able to comprehend or care what’s happening.
I wish they were open to that option. Every time ive tried, they always have a counter argument, or they divert away from the issue at hand. "you like abortion? you must like men in womens bathrooms too" its like ugh....
The GOP likes them uneducated and dumb. They say we are for you and throw them a handout to keep them afloat and invoke fear on them to keep them loyal and yet they will say nahhh that’s not true - just like they want - uneducated.
MAGA is ineducable. We need to use reverse psychology, trails of bread crumbs, the sort of benign deceit you would subject a toddler to in order to get them to eat their vegetables.
Good luck. I tried to do that when they were in high school. I was not very successful. Developing critical thinking skills was not their “thing” at the time. Still isn’t…
We can make progress with uninformed conservatives, but hard core MAGA is a lost cause. They simply cannot hear anything that doesn’t fit with their propaganda. The uninformed will sometimes listen, but MAGA gets raging mad.
Or figure out why 90 million Americans did not vote. That would be an easier task then trying to deprogram and educate a cult. We are still more than them overall.
I hear you, but if they didn't get it in the education that has led up to this, it will take a herculean effort now. Brainwashed cult members are hard to turn. But I hear you.
You literally can. Everyone is born stupid, and most of us turn out fine. The hard part is treating these grown adults as children, so that they can learn, without them having an ego reaction.
Getting them out of their current "beliefs" would be a mammoth undertaking.. and the amount of propaganda and misinformation being produced on social media platforms just feeds them.
I know its gonna be hard, but there is no shortcut. Calling people dumb may feel good, and it may even be accurate, but what happens then? Nothing and some hurt feelings.
But how?
They don't want education, they don't believe that anyone is smarter than them and they think experts are out to get them.
The re-education is going to be a long, slow slog.
No they are saying we may be uneducated but we got our guy elected Pres. So that’s all we need. It’s going to take a
Lot before they realize he’s screwed them
And yet, their ignorance has won the election for the base. There’s a reason he and the republicans are fans of the poorly educated. The more you know the less likely you will vote republican. It’s just sad how hard they work to keep them stupid.
I agree. I mean, everyone else seems to have squeezed money out of it. Maybe that's what we've been doing wrong? 🤔
(100% joking. I will see my own way out.) (Ba-dum-bum-bum!)
I'm sorry Morgan, but MAGAts are un-educatable. Maybe if you got rid of the Fox Propaganda Network, all of the right-wing copycat networks, all right-wing social media, all right-wing podcasters... And then brought them all into a room every night and forced them to watch MSNBC primetime, then maybe

Poverty aids MAGA in keeping all Americans down & twisting their thought processes & emotions.
WE MUST HAVE UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE .

If you make a breakthrough
Let the rest of us know
They will have to come to when jdt & company screw it all up.
Those people are not able to learn, just follow the piper.
When they figure out that Trump doesn’t care about them, and their gas & groceries don’t go down, they’ll be open to listening.
It, don’t hold your breath.
Just saying…
I could be wrong.

I believe your assumption is foolish.
We need to find out why the people who voted in 2020 stayed home this year and how to drive turnout with the ~90 million who don't vote.
Don't change their minds; drown out their yowling with votes.
Good luck with that!
You can lead a MAGAt to knowledge, but you can't make them think.
They refused to learn because it was provided by the government.
Say it's so and I'll start looking now.
Most appear to have chosen not to learn anymore.

Who sent them?
Keep reminding them: you voted for this 😘
MAGAts are immune to reality and reason. Let them wallow in their fear-based hared.
Nast’s (1874) illustration featured a Republican elephant, which was meant to represent the party’s values of
- strength,
- wisdom,
and
- dignity
🤯
ooh where would you start ?
The MAGAtardia is not worth trying to save.
Much more productive to start the hard road.
Also football!

Democrats need to use propaganda for that.
We tried to educate them for the past 4 YEARS, and they refused to learn. They all need to be tried for treason and/or deported.
