Can we have a nuanced conversation about this? There's a difference between the ignorant ones and the ones who want people they don't like to suffer. I don't think you can treat them the same.

These are grown a** ADULTS who are allowed to vote. That comes with a RESPONSIBILITY to know wtf they’re choosing. There is no ignorance. There’s only the CHOICE to be ignorant - which is inexcusable in someone allowed to vote. This screams *additional mental load* for the victims, not the perps
There's a nuanced point to your point! There are some, that were ignorant (I'm being nice in describing it) and I get that people live busy lives and the BS out there was overwhelming. And maybe they didn't hear from people like us. But those that did and ignored it, yeah, that's not the same
Yeah there is.. there are many reasonable repubs who had one issue and stuck with Trump.. such as vaccines.. find a commonality and start a conversation
That was a legitimate argument in 2016.
After he allowed hundreds of thousands of his own people to die and Jan 6th, they knew who they were voting for.
When someone shows you who they are, believe them.
This is why I don’t fully trust any republican. We watched for 50 years Republicans chip away our rights, eroding the social safety net, using our rights as a political football, caring little about what it did to us. Now the monster has grown into a behemoth. they’re looking to us to soothe them?
Agree—a lot of low information voters out there. For me, the line is “did you look around and say ‘this is horrible’ & rethink OR were you like the Cuban who didn’t come around until ICE had him in handcuffs & he faced GitMo. The latter one wouldn’t have changed if he weren’t personally in irons.
I fear if we don't save the free press and truth we are doomed. I think there need to be mass protests of Fox every day. This nonsense would not exist without them.
I’m sorry I’m not buying that. He showed the good hearted ones who he was when he mocked the disabled reporter or dismissed grab them by the pussy, or the clear history of being racist and not paying his debts. He showed himself they chose not absorb it.
They are the same! The ignorant ones didn’t come from Jupiter. They knew exactly who Trump was.. we told them.. the signs were all there. They just choose to ignore everything.. Frankly they were not really good people to begin with. No excuses
That's true. There are some good hearted folks out there that just don't understand what is going on and why. Our school system is lukewarm at best in explaining these things, and such advice comes from generational idiots who gain money for misleading the public.
Honestly I don't care how "good hearted" you are; if you went through 4 years of your family from overseas not being allowed to visit you - and not being able to leave the country for fear you wouldn't be allowed back in - you have no fucking excuse for supporting a replay.
I didn't say they were smart at all.
Logic holds little sway in their wee worlds. Scientific Reason equates to witchcraft with some. They know a profession or skill inside and out, but the rest of the world suffers for their lack of perception.
The power of right wing propaganda media is just surreal. It is not just unintelligent or gullible people getting sucked in. They really don't care about facts at this point. Having to live in both worlds is just mentally draining.
True. But we're fighting an information war. Allies can be pawns because we're fighting an authoritative take-over. We will deal with the rubble when the war has been fought.

They see and believe what they want to see and believe. It's not my job to educate or coddle them.
