Know your MAGA Enemy. They are your neighbors, your coworkers, 'friends', and even family members. The reason they voted for Trump is the very reason you didn't.
I cut ties with the Orange Turd voters or non-voters for moral reasona. Also because of a matter of survival...when fascism finally permeates every single aspect of us, some of those "friends" are going to ask you to help them survive...I don't want the moral imperative to save those!!!!
Don’t wait, organize! It’s going to be a bumpy ride so talk to your friends about mutual aid, sharing knowledge of resources and taking coordinated political action. We are not powerless when we work together.
Family, friends, neighbors - if you supported Trump don't even look at me. I don't want to hear from you.
If you're on fire - fine I'll put you out - but then we go right back to not talking. I'll never hire you - never buy anything from you - never smile at you - nothing.
Its tough. I have friends and family who are big fans. I know some very intelligent people who cheerlead for him. I really don't understand. We don't ever talk politics....ever.
I’m not there.
I have family and friends who support Trump.
Some have been instrumental throughout my life in various ways.
Yes, at times conversations can become difficult.
But do really throw someone in the ditch because they see things differently?
The better strategy is to continue dialogue
It’s not that they “see things differently”, it’s that they have no empathy. Someone who wants to destroy a group of people who’ve existed for many years (trans), hurting no one, is cruel. If they’re okay with ripping apart innocent families they’re nothing less than evil. Not political- humanistic.
I agree.
Sheltered individuals live in sort of a bubble of mistrust.
It’s hard for them to experience empathy if they’ve never faced and been touched by what they fear.
Yeah, there’s never a need for another Nazi in your life, and don’t be surprised when they betray you for their cult the moment it’s suggested to them that they should.
My great grandfather kept a mind so open about it that you can see a picture of his mind getting opened at the U.S. holocaust museum, on the left after you get off the elevator. It’s quite the image.
I think I’ll be better off keeping mind closed to the Nazis, and any who traffic with them.
I am not supporting this mindset any longer. I don't blame the people that support Trump anymore because if you look at the media coverage and the social media coverage it is understandable why they would think we needed a change. We don't move forward like this, hate breeds more hate.
I fully understand this when I read the paradox of intolerance. There are lines that if a person crosses it, is a deal breaker and I cannot be friends with anyone that thinks racism, homophobia, sexism or transphobia is acceptable or laugh at some one that supports that type of behavior.
This point of view was planned by the opposition. A lot of people have fed into it. The entire thing was designed to alienate us from each other and its working. Whoever cooked all this up does not have the best interest of the country in mind and they have you right where they want you.
I'm 63 years old. The closest I've seen to this degree of animosity was when Regan was elected the first time. Even then it was nowhere near this bad. Given that half the country has been fooled into thinking its ok to storm the capitol. They have been effected by a psyop imo. Don't feed into it.
I'm nearing 60, Black, Queer, and a Woman. I've been an activist since I was 14, raised by activists who were IN the movement of the 50s and 60s. I KNOW what it is I'M fighting for - and AGAINST. I didn't NEED propaganda to 'tell' me what I was LOOKING AT, l-i-v-e and in person, or EXPERIENCING.
So given your experience is the animosity worse now or less than in previous times. To me it is a lot worse and it has been fueled by intentionally fake information that the opposition has intentionally produced. That's all I'm really saying here. They want you to react to it and it works. imho.
I "react" to it because it's a CONTINUATION of what I've LIVED, seen, watched, and experienced over DECADES, and because I know it's a continuation of the same shit that was happening BEFORE I was born, and because if we DON'T "react", who the fuck is going to work to change this shit?
Sadly, you are singing to the choir with that here! If you want everyone to know that- paste it all over facebook and instagram and x - you know- where all the troglodytes live.
thats just the way they want it Fascism requires an In Crowd and an out crowd so it's come to this I didnt vote for him and I couldn't But I do know some sad individuals, you know the short bus type And they voted for him, some of them weren't even racist or Nazis but I can't turn against americans
I'm torn. Part of me wants to reply, "Only Sith deal in absolutes." However, another part of me wants to fry all of the supporters with dark side force lightning!
In the words of Annakin, "I am not the jedi I should be".
i would have to say to what extreme they are turmp supporters. if they keep thw whole maga cr-isis crap out of it and want to have an intelligent civil conversation, i am all for it. bu tonce the names start flying and the disrespect for my opinion is shown, i respond and block.
I'm getting married in four months and selfishly I don't want to throw a grenade into my plans. My MOH, a bridesmaid, my parents and others in attendance have really doubled down on their shitty politics and lack of caring for other people. It makes me so sad and Ive begun distancing myself.
My bio brother married a foreigner who became a citizen several years and children after they married. He's white, she's not. Their children are delightfully mixed. He voted for the POS that made marriages like his next to impossible now. I haven't spoken to him since last summer nor will I again.
Agree. Trump person that I haven’t talked to since last trump election called me on Inauguration Day. What a coincidence. 🙄. I let it go to voice mail. Never want to hear from that person again as long as she supports Trump.
It is extremely hard to want to be even in the same room with someone who voted for that poor excuse of a man. I can understand how people want things to be better and different, but this was not the way to go about it. It is disgusting, he is disgusting. He has no moral compass
I'm glad that I'm among those who feel as I do. I despise that traitor, and I hope that he's thrown out of office as fast as he weasled his shit stained ass in.
💯 I have walked away from anyone ( previous friends) that supports him. I am required at work to lead folks who I know are MAGA. When I retire I will never have contact again with anyone that is a trumper. They will be dead to me!
I don't hate Trump supporters, I think the majority are just being fooled by a very cleaver set of people. I don't get how there's no consequence to lying so blatantly, trumps speaches arnt sure of the moment, their Writen in advance, why is he not punished for blatent intentional lies?
And never saw his crappy TV show, I can proudly state. Good musician friend that worked in AC, NJ had to deal with all his crazy and his then wife’s. He’s a cheat, a liar and an all around ugly human. (Human is a bit generous truthfully)
I really didn't want to feel like that because I have family who voted for that douche bag but; I do feel that way and I can't control it. I get angry with and around people who either voted for him or not at all. I hurts, it shouldn't but it does. Does that make me a bad person...
It makes you a person with empathy and compassion. Those others lack those traits and have lost their humanity. No dear it does NOT make you a bad person it makes you a great person! 💙🫶🏻💙🫶🏻💙🫶🏻🥰
I don't mind so much that they support him, it's that they do it with the same hatred and vengeance that he does -- making statements that are only word salad.
Was he showing signs of hitler when he was president last time?
Your name calling has zero meaning btw. It’s so overused now I even call my friends hitler whenever I get the chance
He sows fear among people that caravans of immigrants are invading our country, with anti-LGBTQ directives, equating Muslims as terrorists, banning them and proposed registering them.
Trump’s slogan is “Make America Great Again” with populist “America First” policies. He supports white nationalists while demonizing Mexicans as rapists, murders, drug dealers. .
Hitler promised his version of nationalism, as a populist leader to “restore German greatness,” glorifying Aryan’s, demonizing Jews (requiring them to register and wear ID’s), Slavs, homosexuals, gypsies and Jehovah Witnesses — and blaming them for Germany’s problems.
Similar but not same. A leader SHOULD have the goal of making their country better.
He isn’t demonising immigrants. Just the ILLEGAL ones. Huge difference
He isn’t needing anyone to register themselves as anything. But to remove the bullsht 500+ made up ones they identified ‘themselves’ with

You shore do look like Butthead!! How bout a FB when you get time ✌️💙💙
You don't need to love your neighbors, but if you hate them you just increase polarization, which helps no one.
I will fight you by whatever means necessary!
Family, friends, neighbors - if you supported Trump don't even look at me. I don't want to hear from you.
If you're on fire - fine I'll put you out - but then we go right back to not talking. I'll never hire you - never buy anything from you - never smile at you - nothing.

Please.
Keep an open mind.
I think I’ll be better off keeping mind closed to the Nazis, and any who traffic with them.

No.
It's just that I can see a few steps ahead.

The US eagerly adopted German scientists straight after WW2. Does that make Truman a Nazi?
