They don't fuckin care. They asked for this.

Must be some oracle from the distant future. Present-day MAGA is vastly far from any such insight.

Can't spell hatred without red hat...

[–] CompostMaterial@lemmy.world 4 points 2 hours ago

Yeah... I'm going to be borrowing that one.

My mom's husband literally did this. He was wearing a "Trump 2024" hat all through Biden's administration. Then Trump took office and after a month he stopped wearing it and started wearing his second amendment hat and won't make eye contact with me anymore.

Meh. More republican blaming someone else. It's the libs, it's the illegals, it's the schools, it's anybody but me... No, it was you. Actively rejecting any outside information, actively causing harm, voting for objectively awful people, willful ignorance, and letting hatreds and fear drive your thought processes. You took the lie and ran with it, made it bigger, and have set the stage for the end of democracy. Yeah, admit you were wrong. Then we might actually believe you might change.

Here’s the problem, though, do you think they’ve learned their lesson enough to understand that voting for hateful narcissist is probably not a good idea in the future. What do we do with people who don’t think that stuff concerns them until it does ?

100% agree but we need them in order to ~~right the ship~~ rebuild the ship, and holding a grudge is how we pushes these idiots further right into the open arms of grifters ready and willing to use them against us. We have to be the grifters. We have to grift them into lowering their defenses, taking in new information, and making logical decisions. And some, I assume, are good people (sorry!) led astray by sixty years of propaganda and republican weakened education and mental healthcare systems. We can feel however we want inside our hearts, but like MLK said "Hate begets hate; violence begets violence; toughness begets a greater toughness. We must meet the forces of hate with the power of love."

I know, I hate it too, but I will meet that hate with love, too. I guess.

He sounds like a tool, but credit where credit is due: he didn't double down on it like what a lot of other Trump supporters are doing.

[–] Hacksaw@lemmy.ca 45 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

That's not enough. They still support the same anti trans, anti immigrant, anti poor, pro-biggotry policies. They just think Trump is doing them wrong.

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 17 points 9 hours ago

Exactly. The "quiet" Republicans want and vote for the same things, they're just cowards about showing who they truly are...

[–] Baggie@lemmy.zip 34 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

I can't help but wonder what the breaking point was.

[–] Hacksaw@lemmy.ca 18 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Trump was "hurting the wrong people" when he increased taxes on the poor and started attacking social security Medicaid/Medicare. He was only supposed to attack LGBT+, minorities, immigrants, the poor, and non-traditional families.

[–] DontRedditMyLemmy@lemmy.world 9 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Didn't he increase taxes on the poor in 2017?

[–] Kitathalla@lemy.lol 7 points 6 hours ago

But it took a few years to take effect. It was the whole, 'the new tax breaks go away, but not for the corporations.'

[–] The_Hideous_Orgalorg@sh.itjust.works 128 points 20 hours ago (9 children)

They don't realize this yet.

[–] SanctimoniousApe@lemmings.world 88 points 19 hours ago (28 children)

Even when they do, few will admit it.

None of the ones in my circle have recognized it nor do I think they will. They're going down and taking the rest of us with them.

At least they owned the libs!

[–] pivot_root@lemmy.world 5 points 14 hours ago

If by libs they specifically meant "Leader Integrity in Bureaucratic Systems," they certainly did.
