The fact that this guy posts this on X with a paid-for blue checkmark tells you everything about why Trump won and why he'll keep winning. The left has made almost no effort to win the information space. They just lose and then celebrate when some of the harm falls back on MAGA.

How about his for a change: Win. Try to win. Stop kowtowing to right wing information propaganda spaces that stifle the left like X, Fox News, and Rogan. Fight them like the right fights the left in the information space. True, you won't get to celebrate when your neighbor suffers from Trump, but it'll be because he didn't vote Trump in the first place.

I saw the "Dems are the Uvalde cops Magas are the shooters." And goddamn it salpped ever since. You guys need to get a real 3rd party that is real grassroots socialist.

[–] SolidShake@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

that would be me. sucks im too poor to run a campaign though lmao.

I've been watching people go on and on about a Socialist revolution since I read about Gene Debs in high school.

I haven't seen them actually do anything yet.

This is a liberal account, he's not a leftist. Leftists have been in the streets, while liberals remain in the tweets.

[–] MiniMoose4Free@lemm.ee 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You expect a "both sides" maga to know that? Seeing all these "it's the dem's fault for not telling us how shit trump would treat us" folks is crazy. Everyone want to blame the dems for the lepords.

[–] _cryptagion@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 18 hours ago

The democrats ran the same candidate against Trump and lost two out of the three times they tried. Do you happen to know the definition of insanity?

Is "MAGAtard" okay to say on Lemmy without getting banned? It's not a slur against mentally challenged people FFS, it's a slur against MAGA. I think MAGAt is a poor substitute.

The trump sign probably only came down so they could put it back up at whatever trailer park they move into. They’ll gladly vote for the next trump-aligned fascist. These people are incapable of learning.

Gonna be complaining DEI made him lose his job and Biden's taxes made him lose his house

[–] 13igTyme@lemmy.world 74 points 2 days ago

Yup. Realtor likely took it down because any political flag will devalue a house or turn away potential buyers.

All my Trump neighbors are rental tenants so they get shuffled in and out every year by their landlords. A few MAGA banner fliers as well as a few families with small kids all got kicked out my neighborhood this last year for Sale signs to go up.

[–] smayonak@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago (1 children)

They were tricked by a propaganda machine. They may have been willing participants but had they known everything they never would have voted against their own interests. Yet every country in the western hemisphere, South America, Africa, Asia, and well everywhere doesn't have anti propaganda laws. If you're rich you can buy influence in any neo liberal country. Why is that?

[–] RedAggroBest@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago (5 children)

How do you construct anti-propaganda laws that can't be used by bad actors to silence dissent? Genuine question if you have an answer but I don't think anyone actually does. The only actual counter to propaganda is quality education, which is where the US has been failing dramatically.

Trump crap was taken down on any neighbor’s homes (and there weren’t many) except one (and they have it kinda hidden) after 2020. Anyone supporting Trump at this point is an idiot, cruel, or both.

[–] barneypiccolo@lemm.ee 15 points 1 day ago

Agent Krasnov is, by ALL objective measures, the most prolific Traitor in American history. In fact, he has probably caused more damage than ALL other American traitors COMBINED.

At this point, anyone who still supports HitlerPig is as much an authentic traitor as he is. I only wish the very worst outcomes for them. Losing their jobs and homes is the mildest punishment they deserve.

I operate a business, and I havent had to hire anyone lately. But if I were, I would absolutely ask them who they supported for president in 2020 and 2024, which is perfectly legal. Anyone who voted for HitlerPig would be immediately, and rudely, be rejected. I won't employ anyone with such obviously poor Critical Thinking Skills.

It's kind of scary that 3 weeks is all it took for them to list their home.

[–] biscuit@lemdro.id 2 points 20 hours ago

It just kinda proves to me that the story is most likely bullshit, or they were always planning to sell the house.

The neighbor is part of the (in 2019) 51%.

We really need a Herman Cain Award for Trumpers who have lost their livelihoods. I used to love the old compilations of dozens of posts only to have the inevitable "COVID ain't no joke".

Covid deniers when their opponent is covid

Please remember it is important to not gloat or "I told you so". This person, for a reason of which does not matter, has decided to exit the cult. This person needs support and praise for their bravery. I don't care if it is for a selfish reason.... ultimately they made it out, their mind is free! That is cause for celebration.

[–] npcknapsack@lemmy.ca 24 points 1 day ago

Is there any evidence they decided to exit the cult? People will paint the walls beige when selling a house, and that doesn't mean they don't still like whatever red and green Christmas themed house they had to start with. Pulling down a flag while selling the house you can't afford doesn't actually mean you wouldn't still vote for him.

[–] masterbaexunn@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Idk seems like that decision was made FOR him and not by him

Heres the problem. We kept the gloating and "I told you so" to a minimum after Trump round 1 and the Civil war.

Hammer it home. They need to know Every. Fucking. Minute. Of every. Fucking. Day. That the choices they made got them fired, took their job, and ruined their country. Almost everyone knew it was going to happen and warned them, and they just dug deeper with their knee-jerk "nuh-uh" fake news 3rd grade playground bully logic. They need to know beyond a doubt that they are stupid, short-sighted, easily manipulated bigots. Why? Because the only way they can change it and do better is if they fucking know it, believe it, and see that they need to change it.
