So, Trump siding with Putin over the USA’s own intelligence agencies wasn’t a big enough red flag for these people?
Nothing is a big enough red flag, but the last thing we want to do is ridicule them when they are starting to see the truth of the matter.
We need to grow our ranks right now, new allies should be welcomed and embraced. Escaping a cult isn’t easy
(Also, this example might not be the best, isn’t the account a satirical one?)
In all seriousness, we’ve got to make room for folks to return to sanity. When they have these “ah ha” moments we should take those opportunities to walk them back to reality.
All the “leopards/faces” jokes, while cathartic, aren’t really helping and encourage people to turn their backs on sanity for comfort.
Is there actual concrete evidence of any MAGAs “returning to sanity” over this stuff? As much as I’d love to be wrong, I’m skeptical that anyone still in the MAGA camp after the past 10 years could see this administration do any kind of heinous shit and not immediately dismiss it as false or rationalize it in a way that conforms to the party narrative. I think they’ve all been irreversibly brainwashed by Fox News and weaponized social media.
I have pretty heavy judgement for people who have made it well into adulthood without bothering to engage with the reality of what they support.
However, always leave room for people who were raised in this crap. It takes serious time to deprogram and some people will do it at 16 and others might take until 26. I’m 31 and still deconstructing some of the repressive religious bullshit from my childhood even though I swing hard left politically (well past the Democratic Party) at 18. The brain doesn’t stop developing until 25, so at least give them some leeway until then to figure out what they really believe.
My brother gave up on Trump and voted for Harris last year. It can be done, but they have to choose to do it on their own, and antagonizing them just pushes them back to Trump even more.
The bigger problem is that MAGA now controls most of the media. For every MAGA that sees the light there’s some apathetic low-info genius who joins the cult.
We have to find a way to counter fascist media, and frankly I don’t know how we can do that when the moneyed interests are almost entirely, and unsurprisingly, on the side of fascism.
I’ll always leave room for them, but I would still bet they will be fed their next set of talking points within the next 24 hours and be right back on board the crazy train.
Honestly I dont care if they divine it through the splash their shit made against the bowl this morning as long as they come to the conclusion.
brb I need to go file a trademark request under the names “Shit Psychic” and “Poo Prophet”
I’m not sure you’ve really thought through what that economic endeavor would entail.
been more than a week since I got to use this
ironically Mike from PA up there isn’t even MAGA. he’s a vocal pro-union progressive 😬
I mean, Trump is also supporting a genocide in Palestine… So…
He got them to agree to a cease fire and Israel had to withdraw from most of the land in the 1st 20hrs in office. What did Biden do?
You mean the ceasefire that Biden negotiated, that is about to fall apart under Trump?
Go move to Russia since you love it so much, traitor.
Lmao…
You think Biden was going to Bibi to agree to a peace plan…
We just needed more of him going around congress in violation of US and international law to supply weapons that publicly available information confirmed was being used for a genocide, right?
Four more years of Kamala “doing the same as Biden” and Bibi would have agreed, right?
I am glad I checked post history to see if a block was warranted. No one who legitimately believes that shit is ever gonna be worth listening to.
I’ll see you when you make your next account I guess, this one’s brand new so I probably got a couple weeks if you do them one by one.
Lol thats how much the media has brain washed you. Biden gave bombs to Israel to kill innocent Palestinians civilians. There was no cease fire with prisoners exchange until the 20hrs of trump presidency. Go to Ukraine and help them fight then if you are so concerned, brainwashed sits at home in confort while thousands of people die and doesnt even know the facts of the cease fire smh!
Known as Mike from PA, Mike is a progressive Political Activist from Pennsylvania and is known as the Steelman of the left, Mike advocates for union labor and social democracy.
So… False flag Tweet?
Progressives aren’t libs, so nothing false flag about a progressive saying “the libs might have been right”.
The assumption that anyone who calls liberals “libs” is also pro-Trump is incorrect.
no he’s approaching this from an absurd leftist position, i actually thought more people would know who this guy was so sorry for the confusion
mike from PA is what a lot of people categorize as a tankie and was one of the people who was VERY vocal about not voting for harris under the pretext that trump might be better. so he does a lot of rhetoric that’s basically semi-MAGA advocacy
I’m not American so I don’t care either way. But it was my understanding that he voted against supporting the genocide of Palestinians. Kamala was still going to support the genocide.
