are you going to send money to now and show me the receipt? Will you commit to go the next protest with me? Will you stop doing your own research? Which charity that is being cut off will you donate to and show me the receipt? Will you wear an LGBTQ tshirt? If no to any of the above I’d say FU.

you'd be happy about this. This is exactly what you voted for!"

And if he says "I didn't vote for THIS!".

"So, you assumed that the things you don't like would only happen to other people? That makes you seem like a really awful person. I'm sorry you got what you voted for. I voted for you to have a better life, you voted for others to have a worse life. You voted for some people to die. Have a nice day."

*Bob is a placeholder name, because I know far to many MAGAts to pick just one.

I’ve never had the opportunity to legitimately hit it. If the headshed is monitoring maybe the alert button could be isolated on the right side

And their own bigotry and hatred which is why they supported him.

The fact that they were hoping he would hurt "those people" .

if Trump succeeds in implementing only half of his agenda, I'm willing to bet your "friends" will dramatically change their tune.

But at some point, they are going to have to be converted back to our side if we ever hope to win another election. Not the nut jobs. They're intractable. But the soft Trump people who don't like him personally but "think he's good for the economy."

... show any signs of regret, but they're definitely getting even angrier and meaner now, compared to when Biden was supposedly making them miserable!

They're propaganda-fed haters, and they DOUBLE DOWN just like their cult leader. When they're obviously wrong about something yet again, they just dig in their heels and feel even more hatred towards the reasonable people who tried to warn them.

Like the Republican Nixon supporters from decades ago, publicly chanting "My country... right OR wrong!"

Picking a side, and sticking with it, is more important to them than truth or morality.

And they hate liberals who've ever fact-checked or mentioned past / current injustices in this country, since that also goes against their blind and superficial alliance to country.

But if things get truly hard for them, like another Great Depression, some of them will FINALLY see the real world and admit their mistakes.

This weekend at a funeral. They are Trumpers and a bunch of wealthy, self righteous Xans.

I tried just walking away, but they just kept going in on how Zelenskyy had been disrespectful.
Finally I lost it. I said , “Two words.. Rapist… Traitor. End of discussion.” Then they left me alone. No come back for that eh?
Probably never talk to them again.
