Honestly, after seeing it I needed to vent and talk about it. But if it’s unpopular and people don’t want to see it, I’ll gladly delete it.

Fuck. That was 14 hours ago. It’s not like we left an interesting conversation on hold lmao. Let it go buddy. Go find another place to agitate.

They’re definitely a bad faith agitator. Look at their comments throughout this thread. Never a meaningful attempt at discourse. Just stirring the pot.

If you’re trying to read, I’ll give you a hint: start from the top. Otherwise, you can just not engage further and move on. It’s pretty simple. No need to get worked up by a long reply you didn’t even read.

What’s the problem, exactly?

They’re either doing it on purpose or they have no life experience and think republicans are just a smile away from changing their worldview and becoming leftists.

Speaks as if they had knowledge, lecturing people ‘in the know’ as if they were also ‘in the know’: “Didn’t you learn anything from Hillary?”

Admits large scale ignorance: “I’m not paying close attention to everything.”

That may be part of the reason but it’s minor compared to the real deal. It’s funny you and the FPSbetter person are lecturing and blaming leftists when conservatives have been hate fueled and driven by the likes of Rush Limbaugh and Tucker Carlson for a long time.

Why aren’t you lecturing them? Why aren’t you asking them to “play nice?” Why are you, essentially, fucking victim blaming? All while on a high horse of “just listen to them! Stop posting memes that make fun of them! This is why they don’t vote for us” It’s fucking not homie. They hate “illegals.” They were chasing and fucking up black people until very fucking recently. A few years ago, they marched and said “Jews will not replace us.” Until Reddit banned them, they had extremely fucking racist subreddits.

Go out and try talking to them. Have you? Really, have you? Have you talked to a real fucking MAGA supporter? Not just a gen z white kid but a real fucking MAGA loving conservative?

Because I have. With plenty. And it’s fucking exhausting. Have you heard the Sartre quote about antisemites? That’s what we’re dealing with: bad faith trolls fueled by hate who have no interest in true discourse.

Are they all like this? Of course not. rAiN iS not PuRe WaTeR. Jfc. But is this the larger guiding force we’re dealing with? Fucking yes it is.

MoreFPSmorebetter: the sand has to be a bit wet to hold up form so it’s ackshually castles made of sand and water; this analogy doesn’t work

Trump and conservatives: insult and mock everyone and everything on the left

Trump, conservatives, and centrists: “Play nice! You guys are so mean. You’re losing my vote.”

I’m so fucking tired of this shit

:theloniousmonk

Dang didn’t work either

It’s funny how they’ve created a buffer against reality.

“DoWnVoTeS mEaN yOuRe OvEr ThE tArGeT” … or maybe you’re making an idiotic point?

“AnY CoNsErVaTiVe WhO DiSaGrEeS WiTh TrUmP iS a FaKe ‘FeLLoW cOnSeRvAtiVe’”

Can you imagine a photo of the Trail of Tears with a cartoon AI filter posted by the government? Fuck.

All of this is literally unbelievable for me. I don’t even have words to express how unexpectedly odd reading comments in this thread has been.
