I hope that these people learn from their mistakes and start to listen to reason. But I'm not holding my breath.
I remember the rhetoric from the MAGA crowd against anyone who wasn't MAGA. The F Your Feelings sentiment from MAGA. These MAGA people who now regret their trump vote better start apologizing to the people around them whom they've hurt in the process.
This video needs to be intercut with the people stumping for Trump and showing how rabid they were prior to having #MAGARegret
Nah, this isn't the time to ridicule them. They're realizing they've made a mistake. This is a crucial opportunity to say "Yes you did, and that's okay. Let's fix this together"
The issue is that it might actually be too late to fix it. Trump promised that the November '24 election would be the last time people needed to vote...
The fuck your feelings people can get their feelings fucked. Get away with those crocodile tears.
On an emotional level agree completely. But anyone who can admit they made a mistake, deserves a bridge back, even if the mistake was something they received ample warning about and even though their motivation for making the mistake stemmed from the worst of human nature… and even though their reason for regretting the mistake is because it’s now affecting them personally—
Okay, really need to force myself to believe these people deserve their bridge back
As painful as it is, this is both what the high road actually looks like, and how we win, longer term. We need to bleed off those we can from the echo chamber of insanity. The more 'moderates' we can strip off, the more obvious that insanity becomes.
Mockery feels good, but it drives them back into their group. Kindness and understanding gives us the cracks we need to start deconverting them.
They might not deserve it, but so much can be gained by being more gentle than people deserve. The people who mistreated MLK didn't deserve his kindness, but he gave it anyway and that played a huge part in how influential he was
Sure, the people missing faces are upset but what you need to understand is the people that still have faces don't care.
And a lot of faceless people are also making excuses about how they never wanted to have faces in the first place, and it's good that they're gone.
Like the guy whose daughter died of measels. He said it was God's will. God created measles. God allowed the disease to take his daughter's life.
I knew that there would be people like this, but it's still hard to grasp.
When a child dies because of them, I wouldn't think a parent is ready for deep introspection and admitting the terrible mistake. Mental gymnastics are to be expected, it's the mind's self defence. Perhaps after some years...
Its written across many books in the Bible to not test God, he will not protect you from your own stupidity.
And the rest of the faceless people are fine with that if it means that the lives of others who they don't like are ruined. They gain satisfaction of if the misery of others, even if it causes them misery too. It's toxic mental illness at its worst.
So, RFK is literally Jesus for preaching God's will that kids must die from measles? 🤔
It never means anything until it effects them personally. Their family, their friends. Until then it's nothing.
We really are dealing with people who do not have empathy.
Oh, it's not even that, they do possess empathy. You're just not a person to them more of a faceless blob at best and a insect at the other end.
At risk of pointing out the obvious, but his approval ratings are still high. Individual stories and tragedies amount to little. It can be difficult to stay grounded when hopeful stories like these proliferate. It will be a long four years.
yeah this is a liberal fantasy
Approval ratings don't matter right now. Trump & Co. don't care. The social-media-braindamaged crowd cannot think further back than a few months anyhow.
Net -4 approval isn’t what I’d call high
Net -4 approval isn’t what I’d call high
Objectively, no. Considering the circumstances, on the other hand...
It’s exceedingly high, and I’m chronically disappointed by that fact.
It's significantly higher than should be expected given his "accomplishments" thus far
Yeah I’m genuinely amazed it’s not closer to single digits after this shit show in such a short amount of time
Just as before the election, they're not paying attention after the election. Just going about their day oblivious to the destruction around them.
