    Not just one of the worst but arguably the worst.

    One day Trump wont be president but his supporters will continue to be around after him. They’ll continue to make up 31% of the voter eligible population.

    Honestly it’s not a bad thing to be able to see all these humans who are about as useful as smegma. See them, single them out, and when the time comes, well, you know lol……

      If that’s what you think, you completely missed the message. If anyone wants to live peacefully I’ll let them, that’s what we all want. If anyone starts to take away people’s rights, disappears people, call my neighbors subhuman, ext, I’ll punch them square in the face in the face.

    Yup, and the pandemic showed us how stupid and ignorant they are, too.

    Leftists were hesitant with good reason and could be educated. These folks had no chance out of their own volition.

    Living in a southern state that is solid red - it’s just difficult to exist. Much more than half of the people I interact with would not view me as a human being if I weren’t stealth about my transness - if I didn’t pass. These people voted against my rights and safety. I’m surrounded by people who think people like me are subhuman.

    The big realisation, for me, was during Covid. I haven’t recovered since. My view of people, in general, has changed forever.

    The best advice I can give to anyone regarding MAGAts is to take advantage of them.

    They’re letting us know how stupid they are. They’re marking themselves.

    So take advantage of them. Run some scams on them. They’ll fall for it. Don’t let Daddy Trump be the only one robbing them blind.

      I thought about running a far-right merch store selling shirts and stickers with all of their shitty little half-brained slogans on them and donating all the profits to left-leaning organizations. Make them indirectly fund the people they’re trying to harm.

        If you see pop-up shops selling Trump merch, they’re often run by immigrants. Money is money.

        My baby insanity wolf self already does a variation of this.

        When my conservative family and acquaintances give me gifts, I donate the gifts to charities or political groups that I know those folks would hate to support. Uncle Ben gives me a debit gift card? That’s going to Bernie Sanders and the ACLU. Cousin Jen gave me a digital photo frame? That’s getting sold and the money’s going to Planned Parenthood.

        The fact that I repeatedly tell these people not to give me any gifts and yet they still do is the icing on the cake.

    I don’t understand how the US is so prop-full of hateful, ignorant, angry people. Is it because of all the lead they ingested towards the end of the 20th century?

      Its because conservatives have actively meddled in the educational system, and kept kids from learning and practicing Critical Thinking Skills. At the same time, they used the vast Conservative Propaganda Machine to teach people to rely on Faith-Based Thinking, where they believe whatever they are told, no matter how absurd or outlandish, as long as it comes from someone in authority, such as a radio/tv talk show host, a politician, a preacher, a cop, a boss, etc.

      Thats why they went so hard after evangelicals. They have already proven that they will build their entire lives around the most bizarre mythology and fairy tales written by neolithic goatherders, so all they had to do was get them to accept their political fairy tales, too.

      Critical Thinking Skills are the most important part of any person’s education, and Conservatives have actively suppressed it. That’s why the Department of Education has always been one of their worst enemies. The 'liberal indoctrination" they are always screaming about are Critical Thinking Skills.

      It’s because those in power will always make sure the masses are blaming the “others” and that there will always be "others"to blame. They don’t want people looking too closely and seeing that it is them who make life hard.

      …the baby boomer generation were raised on television and consider it an authoritative source of information; fox news made them a captive asset…as for younger folks on the fascist train, it’s likely sensationalist social media echo chambers, and unfortunately more and more countries are fostering the same pathology…
