    My mom’s husband literally did this. He was wearing a “Trump 2024” hat all through Biden’s administration. Then Trump took office and after a month he stopped wearing it and started wearing his second amendment hat and won’t make eye contact with me anymore.

        Meh. More republican blaming someone else. It’s the libs, it’s the illegals, it’s the schools, it’s anybody but me… No, it was you. Actively rejecting any outside information, actively causing harm, voting for objectively awful people, willful ignorance, and letting hatreds and fear drive your thought processes. You took the lie and ran with it, made it bigger, and have set the stage for the end of democracy. Yeah, admit you were wrong. Then we might actually believe you might change.

          Here’s the problem, though, do you think they’ve learned their lesson enough to understand that voting for hateful narcissist is probably not a good idea in the future. What do we do with people who don’t think that stuff concerns them until it does ?

          100% agree but we need them in order to right the ship rebuild the ship, and holding a grudge is how we pushes these idiots further right into the open arms of grifters ready and willing to use them against us. We have to be the grifters. We have to grift them into lowering their defenses, taking in new information, and making logical decisions. And some, I assume, are good people (sorry!) led astray by sixty years of propaganda and republican weakened education and mental healthcare systems. We can feel however we want inside our hearts, but like MLK said “Hate begets hate; violence begets violence; toughness begets a greater toughness. We must meet the forces of hate with the power of love.”

          I know, I hate it too, but I will meet that hate with love, too. I guess.

        That’s not enough. They still support the same anti trans, anti immigrant, anti poor, pro-biggotry policies. They just think Trump is doing them wrong.

        Trump was “hurting the wrong people” when he increased taxes on the poor and started attacking social security Medicaid/Medicare. He was only supposed to attack LGBT+, minorities, immigrants, the poor, and non-traditional families.

            But it took a few years to take effect. It was the whole, ‘the new tax breaks go away, but not for the corporations.’

          That’s really not one conflict. Conflating them was what the US regime at the time tried to do to whitewash their decisions.

          Also, at least you do know people who were completely cool when everyone just pulled out of Afghanistan leaving the folk that worked with them to suffer the reprisals of the Taliban, so ask them if it was worth it.

              Fair but I would argue that as Al Qaeda was in Afghanistan and they attacked the USA that war is different than Iraq which never attacked the USA.

                Al Qaeda was all over the place. Wasn’t a single Afghani on any of those planes. There were, however, 15 Saudis (out of 19 hijackers). The attack was planned by a Saudi. The organization was run by a Saudi, and funded by Saudis.

                  And yet the army of Al Qaeda was in Afghanistan. Osama Bin Laden was in Afghanistan at the time of the attacks.

                  If I as an American write checks to a buddy in Mexico who rounds up cartel members in Mexico to invade Belize should the army of Belize look to stop the army fighting them in the nation of the guy who wrote checks or in the place where the army actually is located.

                  Anyone who thinks we should have attacked Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) is really displaying how little they know about this conflict and conflicts in general.

                The Taliban tried to give America Osama Bin Laden but they wanted something in exchange, so they invaded and suffered 20 years of war over such audacious demands.

                The thing about Al-Qaeda and 9/11 is that it was always a Saudi operation.

            I’ve got a coworker askeng when the no tax on overtime takes effect. The other day he was going on about it passing and every Democrat voting against it. I told him that the bill didn’t say anything about no tax on overtime, it still has to pass the Senate, and it’s going to cause Medicaid to collapse. He just denies, saying Medicaid isnt going to go away.
