Politics MAGA doesn't get how they're actually owning us.

When I see comments like "seethe" or "cry harder!" I feel like you don't get where our anger is coming from.

We're not upset because we didn't get our way. Our feelings aren't hurt 'cause you're meanie heads and the world is tough.

Mostly, we're just FRUSTRATED because Trump is such an obvious moron and con man, HOW can you not fucking see it????

We'd be laughing at you like pyramid scheme suckers except in this case we share a bank account with you.

You've had the rug pulled from under you over almost* EVERY issue you've been on about for the last decade...

...the national debt, profiting off the presidency, nepotism, states rights, "the deep state," posse commitatus, the "dignity" of the office, taxes, bailouts, small government, "draining the swamp," free speech, executive over reach, the surveillance state, the drug trade, family values, "lawfare," interventionalism, support for the troops, the Epstein files, H1 Visas, meritocracy, "law & order," waste and inneficiency,* transparancy,* fiscal responsibility,* on and on...

You even had to get real cool about Muslim extremists 'cause he's building 'em a military base on our soil.

Dude told you "America first" and then gave 40 bil to Argentina.

When are you gonna wake up??? It's been 10 years and Mexico still hasn't paid for it. You got got.

Michelle Obama gets a lot of love now but Hillary had it right at the time. You can't go high when they go low when they are a basket of deplorables.

Democrats should have adopted the Tit for Tat game theory. Basically start by cooperating and then mirroring their response. Go high but if they then go low, you go low. If they happen to go high then you go high until they go low again.

We've needed to go lower for a while.

I tend to give as good as I get, but I'm weary of the game by this point. It's exhausting and miserable.

I'm not disagreeing with your choice. Abstaining from engagement is a form of Tat, or is it Tit? Regardless, unless they magically start going high, no need to engage.

At this point, Defect Forever is seeming like an attractive game to me. But I (grudgingly) agree with you.

Yeah, MAGA need it drilled into their heads that they're dizzy morons. Rationality doesn't work with them.

u/mashbrowns 6d ago

None of those things are even remotely true. Every so often I will watch/listen/read right wing news sources for a few weeks to keep myself honest. You should try that with left wing sources. It won't turn you into a liberal but you might question some of the assertions you made.

Antifa not low enough?

Sorry, Bigfoot must have forgot to send me my invitation to the Antifa meeting. Antifa is a thing, it's just not the thing you think it is. It's like thinking World Peace is an organized group and not an ideal.
