They never accept responsibility. They just don't have the critical thinking skills to see cause and effect... They will NEVER accept what they have done. It's best to just let them flail, blame and cry... Walk away. They're too dumb to fix.
Literally true. I have Magats in my family and that’s what they say. It’s clearly a cult and it doesn’t matter what reality is even as it plays out in their faces.
Should be passing state laws that we are allowed to slap, open hand must be over 18 and face only, Trump voters. They do need their non functioning frontal lobe a jolt.
I blame:
* The Supreme Court for giving Trumpkin absolute immunity
* McConnell for stealing Obama’s Supreme Court pick
* The ability of Supreme Court justices who lied during their confirmation and not being held accountable
* The outdated electoral system
* Garland waiting to prosecute Trumpkin
That is my dad. If the president or Fox News tells us something, it has to be true... He’s part of the silent generation. Navy vet. Long time gov worker.
My favorite is my dad claiming 47 won’t really do the things he was saying on the campaign trail. Why vote for him then if you don’t believe anything he says!?!
There are nuances to this, George, as much as I love everything you post. Long read here, but if you're serious about supporting the change of heart of half our country, it's worth it:
Ran into MAGA at the pool - was telling him about an experience on an Indian reservation while traveling in my RV- his response was that’s why trump is taking our country back. From Native Americans living on reservations ? They glorify ignorance.
Oh it works, I'm not arguing against that. But it works because they're not capable (or not engaging in at the very least) of even rudimentary thought.
What kind of weird psuedoanalytical lens are you looking through? It's just a funny name that also reflects the content of my posts. It's honest.
Everybody is biased, I'm not shying away from the fact that I'm human. But my biases are informed by things like statistical analysis, not the opposite.
Nah, that'd be true if the people supporting him were otherwise good people. It doesn't explain their lack of empathy, their glee at the harm they're causing others, and their refusal to listen, and to see what's literally in front of their eyes. They aren't brainwashed. They're genuinely harmful.
So You think the NKVD guards In the gulags and the SS death camp soldiers and the Maoist laogai guards and the Pol Pot killing field killers and the Islamist terrorists of today were all born evil do you
And that propaganda doesn't make people do evil deeds
I didn't say anything about being born evil. I'm saying you need to make these people take responsibility for their selfishness, instead of trying to pass the blame onto others. I don't care who they watched. They made their choice. They're not immune from the consequences.
You're right. It is surprisingly easy to end up in a cult. The people who run them are professionals, and they know exactly how to get others to believe absolutely insane lies.
Actually, people are rightly worried about their livelihoods.
The blame lies with #trump for knowing and exploiting these fears, as well as with the opposition for not addressing them.
Sorry if this hard truth touches a nerve. But people need to wake up.
We don't own the Electoral College, the Electoral College owns our gerrymandered districts, not our votes.
We don't have a parliament, our courts aren't elected, and our slave-owning nobility made compromises for the sake of a "stable" governance... owned by them.
Maybe not. There's evidence of election tampering apparently, so likely they cheated to get those votes. It's a small comfort but still meaningless in the end result.
The tariffs are a 2 pronged disaster. Prices will go up dramatically. Companies who don’t raise them or can’t sell enough product at higher prices will disappear. Then countries will retaliate and have less demand resulting in a loss of jobs here as our exports to slow and construction slows.
That’s basically it, that and just plain hate.
stupid people win, because you can’t argue with stupid, and in the end gotta walk away to protect one’s sanity, honestly. until they do something so mind bending stupid, was essentially has to be declared on them to preserve our lives. Frank grimes ?
This is why we need to do whatever needs to be done, use any tactic available to us, to defeat these people. We can't allow ourselves to be "governed" by these morons any longer.
With the collapse of the agricultural export market, the only thing that some of MAGA farmers will have to eat is that hat on their head. I totally feel owned.
When you are incapable of critical thinking you will never realize you are to blame for the destruction of our democracy. If you view the world through the lens of Fox News , you have no grasp of reality.
And that. it keeps coming back to those truly astoundingly bad education and literacy figures, doesn’t it. Everywhere you look for answers, just those big numbers keep obscure any path forward.
Good luck trying to convince a Trump supporter of anything!
Meanwhile, there are a bunch of fringe-left liberals who think that the way they change the Democrats' stance on Gaza is by electing a Republican into the WH, instead of doing their civic duty.
We knew they were a lost cause and still are… like the Germans who still reverently hung pictures of Hitler on walls that had no roof because of allied bombings
Apparently it we’re evil enough, sure. Gitmo would be far better in so many ways , but it’s not something i see happening for some reason. Most of us aren’t sadists, for a start.
"I never heard him say that." "Don't believe everything you read on Facebook."
"Yeah, that's what he said but it's not really what he means."
"That was Biden's fault."
🙄😒😡
I am often disliked by fellow progressives for saying this, but MAGA voters often live in areas with schools that have been de-funded for decades, often where everyone watches Fox, and now have a federal govt backing up lies. It is the fault of the fed for actively misleading their citizens.
We need unity and understanding that while these folks are absolutely responsible and accountable for any harmful actions they carry out, blaming them for trusting a
gov that has gone out of its way to trick them... Feels like misplaced blame to me. We are all being oppressed by the same gov.
I just blocked my brother and will no longer have a relationship with him. He berated me and told me I was an idiot for listening to msnbc and media's for my information. He said they are all lying to us. Musk and Trump will save us. I'm sorry buddy, but I am out of your life.
You can't convince a stupid person that they are stupid. They are too stupid to understand that concept.
Anyway if brains consisted of dynamite combined maga would not have enough to blow a pimple off a horse's ass.
MAGAs are a lost cause. Always were but I blame the people who stayed home more. I blame the people who refused to vote because of (valid) issues, ignoring the tsunami that was announced every single day with explicit details. And still they chose to stay home.
Ditto! I will never understand or forgive a friend, a lifetime liberal, who protest voted for Jill Stein because Kamala didn’t speak out enough about Gaza. Of course Trump was going to make it worse, but, you know, teach Harris a lesson…
people became too comfortable. That’s the downside of social media. Everything seems like a movie and not real. Plane crashes or tragedies or whatever. People need to pick their battles. Pause one fight to fight a bigger battle and come back later to the old fight. But HEY! Too late.
Well they literally think they should be losing money and the economy crashing is Biden's fault lol.
Nothing needed fixing. This is 100% Trump just wanting power.
Yes, AND the Old Guard of the DNC has systematically led us this far to the right by buying into Neoliberal economic policy and then making an enemy of the voices more on the left that constituted the conscience and the soul of the party. They are still eschewing the left and will continue to lose.
Yep. It’s also a cult based on a “tough guy” who wears shoe lifts, diapers, and garish pancake makeup, and lives in places that put Gilded Age whorehouses to shame. Proof that Americans long ago lost the ability to separate TV reality from actual reality. Amused. To. Death.
IMO “TV reality” is more to my point, which is that Americans can’t tell what’s TV and what’s reality anymore. It’s not just about “reality TV shows;” it’s the whole damn thing. Tens of millions of Americans live in a fantasy world informed only by what they see on TV, from drama to “news.”
Nah, real talk, some things will get better, others will get worse; objectively, the most optimal thing we can do rn is teach people to be mindful about the kinds of media they're consuming.
Good praxis can prevail over nasty habits if done correctly.
What about all those useless fools who sat at home because neither candidate was qualified. Even tho Kamala was the most qualified to have run for office. Ever.
The 'protest' voters and non-voters are just as guilty, if not more. I blame the arrogant jerks who were mad at Biden for some reason or another. They chose tyranny over democracy with their 'protest' against the Biden/Harris administration.
We're seeing a late phase of a 90 year campaign to try and wind back the gains made by women's liberation and the labor movent. Decades of propaganda is very difficult to undo, especially when the propaganda conforms to your prior beliefs.

this is what normal americans are faced with when trying to talk to MAGAs
* The Supreme Court for giving Trumpkin absolute immunity
* McConnell for stealing Obama’s Supreme Court pick
* The ability of Supreme Court justices who lied during their confirmation and not being held accountable

* Garland waiting to prosecute Trumpkin
who always seem to vote republican

they’re all fucking trash. We don’t need a single one of them to defeat them.
Rupert Murdoch propaganda
Russian Troll Factories on social media via Active Measures warfare
Musk fake news and propaganda on X
All of those
Bear the blame for indoctrinating and brainwashing people.
Blame the brainwashers
Not the brainwashed
They wouldn't pay so much to own them would they
Your user name is a sign of your own indoctrination
You just think your indoctrination is more legitimate and more moral than theirs

We all know people who have vanished down one rabbit hole or another
And that propaganda doesn't make people do evil deeds
Like.really
Like fucking Islamists who are radicalised online and who strap suicide bombs on themselves and blow trains up
it's just that people usually only see them as cults after the kool aid event
Trumpcession hits full
stride, it should be fun
to hear the mental
calisthenics employed
to explain their world
view.
love the uneducated 🥴…

72 million Americans voted for Trump and his policies. America chose these politicians willingly and knowingly. Own it.
Greetings from Europe.

It’s the Frank Grimes effect, writ large.

Fox News viewers: No you didn't!
85.9 million eligible voters didn't bother.
76.8 million voted for Trump.
74.3 million voted for Harris.
The real winner was NOBODY.
Please get me the hell out of here!
gov that has gone out of its way to trick them... Feels like misplaced blame to me. We are all being oppressed by the same gov.
Anyway if brains consisted of dynamite combined maga would not have enough to blow a pimple off a horse's ass.
Understood that there was a very sophisticated effort in conjunction with use of Palantir to deter folks from voting
But, its always voter turnout
in the course of a con
the more convinced the mark gets
that the con is real & not a swindle
The best confidence people manage a con
so the mark never recognizes
they've been taken

Valid points tho
I see you tho~!

Revolution is the solution.
Overthrow them all.
You're free people for God's sake, act like it, or perish in the flames of tyranny.
