Just yet another dog whistle, like the lightning bolt on the tent logo.
Just an unconsequential nobody rewriting the power structures that bind us.

I absolutely agree with that and can see it. People think when Trump disappears things will improve but I am very skeptical on that front. He’s a very natural conclusion to a long line of dominos. I don’t know what’s next but I’m almost more scared someone competent will step into his place. We can’t even handle the incompetent megalomaniac, what happens when someone intelligent and calculating takes his place?
This. We’ve begged our attacker to see our humanity and it’s only emboldened them.
Have you ever had a long conversation with a Trumper? I don’t think you have. And I speak up for Trump voters a lot more than I should because I know some women I care about who aren’t deep thinkers and who follow the men who surround and control their lives. I’ve gotten them to bend ever so slightly on some things.
But the method you’re suggesting is not viable at this stage.
**They’re on to “this is good vs evil” and guess who’s evil? Not them. It’s game set match. I don’t think we’re coming back now and I’m normally toxically optimistic on this topic. **
I’ve been trying to wear down Trump supporters in various arenas for years. You can get them to come almost to a rational conclusion then they get their MAGA propoganda update and it’s back to square one. And they all seem to get their upload at the same time which I’m still trying to figure that one out. And it’s not Trump himself because they don’t actually listen directly to Trump. But they’ll all magically have the same talking points and claim to be first hand account eye witnesses of whatever said phenomenon is. Which is wild bc they all sound like broken records and swear they saw X y z with their own eyes. Which is clear bullshit for anyone who confronts multiple of them from work to school to the bar to family get togethers. They all saw those litter boxes with their own eyes (it was their kid, their niece, their friends kids school) and they all saw the Venezuelan gangs roaming the streets. They were there! They saw it!!! It was in (name their nearest city)!!! Just to name a few examples.
I challenge you to sit down and have the small conversations you’re advocating for with a Trump voter. Really sit and listen to them. No confrontation, no arguing your point. Just listen to them. You’ll understand what I mean. But this new “good vs evil” is final stage stuff. We’re cooked.
Ronald McDonald to the rescue. Where oh where art thou Ronald?
What’s the old adage? Your boss would replace you before you’re cold in the ground?
You could say… it sprung a leak…
(I am so going to Hell…)
They forgot “illegal latino” with blue hair!
Smells like a Presidential Medal of Freedom. Because you know, hate mongers stick together. In other news, looks like a white Christian 22 year old male was turned in by his church… so radical
“You won’t change them, they’ll change you.” The ultimate lesson of any reformist.
Oh shit EU be careful. Are you really going to follow us down the shitter?
You sound like the type who supported Trump when he said, “there’s good people on both sides” if you actually think that limp two-sided non-statement is worth a damn. It’s laughable.
Right. Poor little Bush. He’s just a sweet ole grandpa.
Uh no. Netanyahu swore to Congress it was the right thing to do. Little Bush was just doing his duty and following orders like a good boy.
We could all use a good collective cry too. Just let it aaaaaaall out.
I keep saying this. Like who is writing this season? I can’t take headlines seriously half the time because they seriously sound made up. Like, we’re all trapped in a season of the Truman show and all the writers are on strike.
I feel most of the US could use a good collective primal scream therapy session, this could really take off.
Really? They don’t fly in the northern States or western States I’ve lived in in the US nor the European country I’m in or have visited. Also don’t like light and more active at night. They’re a problem where I am now and they are slow and dumb comparatively. They often off themselves by falling on their own backs. You’ll find them on the street dead trying to climb steps and stuff. They are not the flying monstrosities we had in Mexico by any measure. (Oh fudge. I just looked up and they are elsewhere in the country they just haven’t spread to our island but this seems like a recent development. I hope they don’t ever come here.)
