Mmmmm, yes. I live with one. He will not read the news and becomes agitated when I share it. Look at it and own it. Tribal cult loyalty is tough to break.
I work with one, and his reaction is the same. He’s completely unaware of any events that don’t revolve around trump’s ‘greatness’ and lashes out at me for knowing about history and global current affairs.
Mine changes the rules of engagement. Wait and see. Ok. Well, here we are - it’s happening. I won’t acknowledge it, and won’t let it ruin my day like it does yours.
It’s gonna have to get worse for a real awakening.
He is starting to get concerned about how things will affect him personally, ie. a new $100k truck or being able to rent out his new cottage for $1k per night. But then Fox News tells him not to worry about it and he forgets for a few hours.
They choose to be ignorant! Life for them is in a bubble of hate where they are happy about hurting others that they don’t like! I guarantee that the day will come when they will feel that come straight back towards them!
That day is already coming for some. Farmers are starting to realize they could go bankrupt and lose everything. It will come to those on government assistance shortly. Once they can no longer buy food because snap is gone, they will find out.
It’s very important that people realize they are not living in an isolated place that what they bring about to hurt others will inevitably touch them as well! It’s a bubble that is bursting each day! We are all connected!
If you remember, during COVID, many people were saying, "If you're scared, you stay home. Don't you dare infringe on my rights!" They didn't care then. They don't care now. Until it hits them right between the eyes.
I’m gonna say we are in a Covid type situation! The Trump and oligarchs want us to meekly submit!
The people who can should protest! People who can’t don’t spend money! People who are invalid speak up on social media! We are powerful together!
I’m going to hope that the Supreme Court is beginning to wake up to a dictatorship that they helped create! Homeless,poor and sick people are being targeted as well as Trans and Gay!
Black people are also but in subtle ways like banning CRT and DEI!
White prosperous people are not being targeted!
I’m not pessimistic! I believe the justices know there rulings for something’s will inevitable affect them because if they get it wrong they will no longer be useful!
I have had no evidence that republicans know what they are doing since 1980.
The republicans are MAGA. They bought it they own it.
I keep asking, can anyone name three things republicans have done in the last fifty years that did not hurt the people and the country.
They don't. They actually think that all of this is for them, to "own the stupid fucking libs"..real quote there. They are the most belligerent, gullible bunch I have ever seen.
Let them suffer, let their families and states suffer. It doesn’t matter how much harm you do to them, they will always have excuses for their fuhrer and will end up blaming minorities and Dems. I do not have any pity for them.
Yes, I said the same thing recently on that other app. They're just blindly cheering for everything and then not connecting the dots when something goes wrong, it's weird as hell
And when democrats come back into power and remind people they need to act like responsible rational adults the right is going to complain and lose their minds.
They are so stupid they cheer elon for "finding waste," not realizing that by bypassing Congress, they are ok with having NO representation. They are the stupidest fucks in the world.
Stupid has always been trademark of your average maga whackoooo. No way the chief maga whackkoooo gets elected without stupid peeps. Grifters rely on stupid.
Stupid and ignorant are not the same. I have despicable brother w a genius IQ. He only listens to conspiracy theories and has always been racist and antisemitic. He thinks only he and the really “smart” people know what’s going on
They are tapped into a different propaganda outlet. I try to remind myself that every time I start to feel that way. They think the same thing about us because they are being told an entirely different story. Breaking through the fog & finding common ground is the only way to stop this madness.
Rural areas & red states will be hit the hardest by most of these cuts. It's important to guide their anger to the root cause of their suffering before it gets directed, as it for so long has been, at the wrong people.
I didn't say middle ground. I agree their views on Trans rights are grossly misguided, but we agree on other things that can start the conversation. The only way to gain ground on Trans rights with them is to personalize & humanize it.
They have been brainwashed to dehumanize. That needs to change.
The craziness is it isn't just white people, many Hispanics, Asians, East Indians, and other nationalities voted for Trump thinking he would never attack them! Wrong! https://shorturl.at/mAg9d
I blame democrats, Hispanic, Asian, Black, Gay, East Indian "leaders" and the media.
How hard is it to point out the obvious truth, "a vote for a republican is a vote for the Klan".
Oh they know what's going on, just to cowardly to stand up to the felon bully. He gives russia Ukraine, so putin can torcher, rape and kill those who won't pledge allegiance to him. He's doing ethnic cleansing to Palestinians in hopes to make it a Caucasian world
A nurse, in the hospital a few days before the election, was talking to another nurse about voting for Trump..I asked her later about RFK Jr. and she said, "I don't care, I just want Trump to be President."
SMH..Obviously she had no idea how our government should work & now we all pay the price. 😞
Wrong. I know quite a few. They do know what’s going on and think it’s a good thing. They are enjoying watching it burn to the ground. Where they are wrong is that they think what will be built in its place will be better. My dad just keeps saying trust me dear. This is good. 🤬🤬🤬🤬
Yep.
Just like with the thing with the voting ID name on birth certificate that's meant to disenfranchise Trans folk, but hits far more married women, and his EO about sex is determined at conception, making us all androgynous goop, they're swinging wildly, never expecting to be hit, themselves.
The wealthy ones don't care.
I'm in very rural WNC.
They're not fully anti-Trump, but they're starting to realize that Trump ain't really working for them like they thought. Most are fully on-board, still, but there's more than a few that are getting upset that they're being treated like they'd --
I'm in Charlotte so I get it. I agree people voted basically to hurt others, well most people. Like the Venezuelans in FL crying "they said they would leave the documented alone" no, no they didn't. Vance said they wld revoke the work visas. Remember the Haitians they're here legally. Face eaten
They literally don't know. They watch FOX propaganda and think everything is hunky dory. They seriously don't have any clue of the stuff that is being done. They all think that Trump abd Musk are brilliant and doing away with all the Biden corruption because that's what they are told
Keep in mind that half the population is - by definition - below average intelligence. It's not their fault that they were born that way, and it certainly doesn't help that they have been failed by a dreadfully bad public education system. Kids with lower intelligence need remedial education.
I don’t think people understand the pervasiveness of right wing media in the USA, and other parts of the world, over decades combined with an education that’s low in critical thought and half the population don’t pay that much attention.
Unfortunately, you don’t know what you don’t know! These people live in a bubble. It’s easy to stay uninformed when everyone around you pushes the same narratives. These people will not listen to anyone telling them differently. They will have to feel it before they start seeking truths elsewhere.
It's in their DNA to be ignorant (aka: Dumb). Just wait when their 'socialism' benefits get wiped out by their Hero. No more SS, Medicaid and Medicare, welfare and food stamps. It's coming.
That about sums it up. I had a MAGA (former friend) spewing nonsense at me. I said, “Stop,I can’t Google that fast.” he turned beet red in the face and started screaming at me about how I need to stop doing that and why do I do that every time? It was epic.
"There are two kinds of Fascists: those who give orders and those who take them. A popular base gives Fascism the legs it needs to march, the lungs it uses to proclaim, and the muscle it relies on to menace - but that’s Fascism from the neck down."
Rich MAGAs are rejoicing. They support the removal of government so Capitalism can reign supreme. The poor are suffering. Poor MAGA are just now realizing

Proverbs 18:15
It’s gonna have to get worse for a real awakening.
Trump knows all he has to say is
“undocumented immigrants, DEI or Trans people “
& they’re right back in line w the Cult .
"Why is he deporting my family? I voted for him!"
"Why is he advocating ethnocide? I voted for him!"
Well, guys, you are the suckers he talks about from time to time.
The people who can should protest! People who can’t don’t spend money! People who are invalid speak up on social media! We are powerful together!
Black people are also but in subtle ways like banning CRT and DEI!
White prosperous people are not being targeted!
Its an illness .
Maga when the republicans are in the Government: The Government is stealing from me!
The republicans are MAGA. They bought it they own it.
I keep asking, can anyone name three things republicans have done in the last fifty years that did not hurt the people and the country.
Maybe that’s part of it, but to be honest, are we ever going to understand how easily they lost, and how freely they gave up their minds?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
They’ve been groomed.
We need to get propaganda media off the airwaves once all of this bs is removed from office.
Soon you will have No meds and no Medicaid to pay for them
Have fun with that

We're right HERE with you!!
We will fight the regime. I'm starting by buying more products from Mexico and Canada.
Farmers losing their funding affects the economy, food sources, & families.
Nuclear stock piles need personnel overseeing them.
Social Security, Medicaid, Medicare, SNAP, Headstart are essential to everyone's wellbeing.
Just to name a few
Tell me, what’s the middle ground between “you shouldn’t exist” and “I want to exist freely and equally”
They have been brainwashed to dehumanize. That needs to change.

I love not being in a cult.
It's gonna be real surprising to them when reality knocks out their teeth.
It keeps going and going and going
And sad that politics has prevented it.
SMH..Obviously she had no idea how our government should work & now we all pay the price. 😞
You would reach more people, when you add a good description into the Alt-text field.
That is pretty easy, especially, when your image just contain text.
This way, you support visually impaired people and everyone else, who rely on a good filled Alt-text.

Insert face-eating jaguar party meme.
I'm surrounded by them, so I hear a lot.😅🙄 They sometimes forget I'm not on their team.
The other 2% are the real problem though.
Americans call them willfully ignorant.
The Shitstain Orange Shitweasel Anti-Christ Felon President calls them marks.
Even those dickheads would have never believed that one man would be able to do this much damage to the Country in such a short period of time.
The Democrats must hold firm until March 15th!!

Madeleine K. Albright
But I’d rather be intelligent, informed, and in pain rather than a sheep being led to slaughter.
I will not go quietly into the night!!!
