Well it's certainly not enough to just luxuriate in the chaos. Every time Trump makes things worse it's our job to point it out and explain why he's doing it. People won't radicalize on their own! They'll just blame immigrants and woke and DEI etc etc.
Do you hear yourself? You want revolution through explaining?
Trump supporters are not confused progressives. Trump is what America wants, He's what America is. He's what America deserves. Trump is more American than bullets and ground beef. He hasn't overthrown the founders, he's fulfilled their vision. We're not going to change that by scolding people on the internet.
I understand, I used to think just like you. I used to be a patriot. I've voted for every Democrat presidential nominee from Gore to Harris. But these days I'm writing to the State to take my name off those goddam rolls. I suppose you'll take a dim view of that, but no bullshit about civic duty, democracy, or engagement could ever compare to the tangible material benefit of avoiding jury duty.
I don't wanna save America anymore. In fact I think her decline is funny and I'm tired of pretending it's not.
Yeah! Fuck all the people who will be hurt and killed throughout. That's funny!
Who gives a shit about Trump supporters? The vast majority didn't vote for Trump if you count non-voters.
Also don't dare call me a patriot. Death to America!
No arguments that the internet is a worthless place to educate people, though. This is just for fun.
