You. I like your optimism. But I don’t share your experience apparently. A lot of people don’t. About the best I tend to get from a lot of them after I start asking a lot of questions that poke holes in their beliefs. Is silence.
Never once have they admitted that they could be wrong or that there’s a chance I might be right. And as soon as they go back to spend time with their cult. The next time I see them it’s like it never even happened. They’re it back to insisting the same absurd positions. Because they never actually acknowledged or considered that they could be wrong.
It’s not even limited to or that unique to right Wingers. Plenty of gaza activists still to this day refused to admit that the hyperfocus on Biden and Harris was a mistake. Or that by doing that they may have helped Trump win. The field was so flooded with Hyper focused partisan propaganda. That many Palestinian Americans honestly somehow thought Trump would be better and voted for him. But as is basic human nature it’s never their fault. It’s always someone else that shit their pants.
What should we do with the ones who voted to hurt others but now want to change sides because they’re being hurt too? Should we ignore the very likely possibility they’ll jump right back to the other side when the Republicans backpedal just enough to no longer look so blatantly shameless? Let them turn against Trump on their own, I just want to keep my distance from these people before they likely disappoint us in the next election cycle.
“There’s an old saying in Tennessee—I know it’s in Texas, probably in Tennessee—that says, ‘Fool me once, shame on…shame on you.’ Fool me—you can’t get fooled again.”
not hating misled trump voters is actually a really good idea and more people need to try it
not saying that the actually insane ones arent worth hating, but some people are just maga bc everyone they know is
Everyone makes mistakes, those that can admit it are rare. Those that can forgive rarer still. And both should be role models.
Be the change you want to see.
Edit: I mean it as a challenge to the rest of us
Always words to live by
They’re really not. Maybe among politicians… But it’s a basic requirement of being a functioning adult human imo.
Talk about a low bar…
