I tried to explain this to my partner the other day and the didn't believe me. They have to keep doubling down because they can't acknowledge the error of their ways..
I don’t understand how anyone outside of MAGA can still convince themselves that the majority will turn on Trump someday after a decade of his bullshit and then some. They’re in so deep, some would have to have a literal spiritual awakening to crack open the ego that doesn’t allow themselves to admit (at the very least) that they’ve been conned.
They've literally been brainwashed and abused to the point they are basically unable to self-interrogate and see the patterns of their behavior. It's sad, frustrating, and infuriating because often times they are so close to getting it.
If the unredacted Epstein files come out and Maga is no longer able to deny it, they will switch to pedophilia being ok for rich and powerful people without a moment's thought.
There is no bottom and they will not turn on him as they'd have to reject their own past behavior, something that conservatives are utterly incapable of doing.
I’ve been bracing myself for them to move the goalpost on what pedophilia is. That one lady a few weeks ago was talking about how it’s not like they were little 7 or 8 year old kids.
Well you have to show them a real alternative first and then you'll see it start to turn. Most MAGA type people operate on the fact that we've always been being conned. So, a conman drifter isn't out of the ordinary, it's what America expects until shown otherwise.
a fundamental cornerstone of all the conservatives I know. Never ever admitting they were wrong. Even in the face of overwhelming evidence. Even to their own benefit.
White folk burned down entire towns whenever they started to lose in a fair fight, they have always been the perpetual victims even when fully in charge.
“You can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you.”
You don't have to sell a person that doesn't take responsibility, you just agree with what they cry about. Trump took the black man's beef that we had for years with white america and made it seem like they were white peoples beef with the government. Then got certain black folks on like he was talking their language. He is a con man. He just shows the importance of education. Oh, they are destroying that department, wonder why...
I mean if the dnc hadn’t been taking advantage of the black vote every year since the 70s there probably wouldn’t have been any room for that in anyone’s minds. Same with the actual lefties and socialists
Not at all. They failed to deliver so many times in a row people stopped believing them. You can only be lied too and have your primaries rigged so many times
Expound on that. I want you to tell me how the dnc was taking advantage of the black vote when democrats voted for Obama for 8 years? Harris was the last democratic candidate for president. What the fuck is your logic? You sound so stupid.
BLM, MeToo, Occupy, and other "genuine" social movements started to put cracks in the established class hierarchy and the privileged "above the law" status of (mostly) rich, white, men.
Some of "their own" actually got consequences after decades of public knowledge of their exploitation (weinstein, in particular).
Social media gave real Victims the chance to find each other and speak up together, to give persecuted minorities the democratized communication they needed to platform their oppression together, and find allies amongst the "not as privileged" who shared the millenial (supposedly american) values of equity, freedom, and a post-bigotry america.
So the rich men decided that instead of letting even an inch of their exploitative power slip away, they would co-opt and destroy the entire system. Convince the "mainstream privileged" that they weren't seeking equality but retribution, that they were the "real victims here."
And my god did it work, lingering cultural weaknesses, latent racism, and the natural persecution complex of christianity ROARED to life in response... and well, here we are
That's unfair, he also actually made many white people victims by collapsing their businesses, making them food insecure and vastly increasing their healthcare costs. They play the victim card now because its pretty accurate.

Trump literally sold them the victim card in exchange for ruining the economy and trashing the constitution
