    Welcome them into the fold, do not reject defectors. We can’t un-lose america without them. The admin and their backers are dividing and conquering, and we fall for it. Yes, us too. Cooperate on what we agree on, forget what we don’t for the purposes at hand, ie, getting rid of this administration and their ridding Israel from controlling our government.

      I’ve said similar before. When they finally have that moment of realization, that’s when we can welcome them back to a sane worldview.

      Leopards Eating Faces is cathartic, but if we shun them for being wrong and realizing it they will double down.

    Is this not the perfect example of a MAGAt? Doesn’t give a shit about shit until it affects them directly?

      That’s actually most voters. It’s why no one is doing anything serious about healthcare costs because most people are not sick.

        Actually many if not most voters want universal healthcare or at the very least an affordable option that isn’t tied to employment.

        It’s the politicians and the healthcare insurance lobbyists that pay them that are the problem and the reason nothing has changed. Also, many people in the US are sick, and many of them delay addressing illness early because of how costly it is to do anything aside from a yearly checkup.

    Realizing this only after gas prices have gone up 50 cents, but not after all the shit he did in his first term, attempt to steal the 2020 election, corruption of the Supreme Court, degradation of transgender rights, intervention in South and Central American elections, inhumane treatment of immigrants, assault on renewable energy, kidnapping of Maduro, support for murderers at ICE, and countless other degradations, also makes that voter a worthless piece of shit.

      You’ll notice that none of those things directly affect the idiot in question. But paying more for gas does.

      Typical conservative, doesn’t care until it hits them.

        They are also in a propaganda bubble or in what amounts to cult dynamics situation, which makes it hard to tell if they are just selfish or if this just happens to be the thing breaking through all of that. As more and more of this shit begins to effect more of them it’ll continue to break through all the nonsense, personally I don’t care why they break away from it all so long as they don’t relapse.

          Thank you, this is the attitude we need if we are to get rid of these clowns. They are encouraging us to reject defectors, as if we didn’t NEED them, which we do. Dividing and conquering, attacking the motivations of defectors posing as one of us online, using slander to obscure the issues, changing the subject to other issues we don’t agree on.

          Doomed to fail as we are, letting these paid troll farms and ai chatbots manipulate us like we are sheep.

            Frankly I don’t think we necessarily need them with us, but we do need them to not be against us which I’ll settle for. Though I will say that if they do wish to join they need to prove it through action and not just words something as simple as shunning Republican politicians would be perfectly acceptable for example, but we can’t do the whole forgiveness for all Christian schtick, redemption through works based upon the context of ones actions.

              I’m not even saying “with” us. We can cooperate on getting foreign influence and big money out of politics, getting bad politicians out, getting the corporations poisoning our groundwater under control, and the like, without agreeing on everything.

              As it stands we are divided and conquered on everything that’s important. We reject everyone on the right turning against the president because he betrayed his america first bullshit, and we are holier than thou, sanctimoniously I told you so-ing, while also rejecting them, their help, and letting Israel of all people account for their motives and character. Oh they called them anti salmon, can’t work with them. Yet they call you that too.

              Obviously there is a line, actual nazis is another story, most aren’t that. And we can still all cooperate in some ways.

        All of those things have and will affect them more as time goes on, they’re just too fucking stupid to realize it.

      Metaphorically, she’s upset about the blood raining down on her house because it’s devalued her property.

      At least she knows she’s an idiot. Albeit for the wrong reasons…

    The thing that bothers me the most is these idiots always give that answer like they know it is incorrect, but they cannot allow someone to know they know they’re wrong and they got duped.

    Just admit you’re a gullible turd and have no empathy, that I would at least respect.
