    Why do we care what the MAGAts think? They’re too stupid to see that billionaires don’t have their best interest at heart.

      You should care. We should all care.

      The big problem we have in this country isn’t just a radical right, it’s extreme divisiveness. Foreign and corporate powers have done their best to divide the US populace and pit us against each other. Why? Because that makes us easier to control, easier to manipulate, easier to deceive, easier to advertise to. And one of the keys goals they have is a complete breakdown of communication. At this point we’re essentially speaking two different languages and don’t even understand each other any more. As soon as you stop talking to the other side, you’re letting the corpos and the despots win, because that’s what they want. If you don’t even care what the other side thinks, you’re essentially giving up on the whole idea of these “United” States (and you’re wandering ever closer toward another civil war).

        Cause knowing how much they love trump and AOC feet pics is gonna help us somehow put our country back together, and transform it into something that isn’t a horrifying mess like the last 200 years.

      Because beyond the racism, their issues are our issues. They’re class issues.

        Fantastic. Now get them to realize that.

          That’s the key we need to turn.

          AOC has been sort of amazing at identifying this. I remember after the election reading something about her asking people who voted for her and Trump: why?

          Honestly, I live in republicanstan. A lot of the gripes and complaints and hopes and ideas are the same.

            My father-in-law, now a diehard MAGA, was prepared to vote for Bernie in 2016. He’s not an idiot, he was an electrical engineer back when they used slide rules and computer punch cards. It just shows you how people can truly not give a shit about policy and just vote on feels.

        Yeah I get that, but I don’t like their hats!

        I know what you’re saying is true, but it feels like we live on two different planets sometimes.

          Yes, because they receive more targeted propaganda than us. Either in their churches or on their news.

      because they voted for AOC down ballot.

      you should probably be extremely interested in that apparent discrepancy.

          People vote for candidates for such stupid reasons that it could literally be a case of “I recognize that name!”

            A significant portion likely gets off on being intellectually humiliated by an attractive, successful woman… And then they hate themselves for it.

              We’re not kink shaming nobody. If they want to elect AOC on the sole premise they want her to stomp on their balls, I’m donating to her work boots fund.

      Because like it or not, they’ll keep on voting. Making a percentage of them realize they’re being taken advantage of might make a pivotal difference in this country’s future.

      Because they vote consistently no matter what. They don’t have to be cajoled just to get them to the polls on election day. They understand that voting is literally the least you can do, not the most. That makes their opinion in a democracy extremely important despite their lunacy.
