While scanning Facebook yesterday and seeing the bots come out slamming the Patriotic Americans who participated in the NO KING rallies, I said this in several responses...
"What parts of Democracy and the US Constitution do you NOT like?"
CRICKETS are all I get. NO comebacks at all.
This could be a useful tactic going forward. Do not be afraid to use this on MAGAs when responding on Social Media.

(20,952 posts)MAGAts today lack the ability to comprehend so many words because of having limited intelligence.
I found keeping it simple causes MAGAts to actually think about what I said.

(58,333 posts)But what they don't understand is a republic is just a form of democracy -- a representative democracy where we elect, by a majority vote, representatives to represent us in government.
There are other forms of democracy, like direct democracy, which only works for very small populations, where the people literally vote on decisions themselves rather than have a representative do it.
But we are a democratic republic, as explicitly envisioned by our founding fathers -- or as Benjamin Franklin put it, "a republic, if you can keep it." The 7 million who showed up yesterday were trying to keep that republic from being destroyed by wannabe-dictator Trump.
The alternative to democracy is dictatorship. Ask them if that is what they want.

Just my opinion, y'all have fun though.

(22,386 posts)A Trump sticker on the left. On the right, an "I believe in the Constitution" sticker. The cognitive dissonance is deafening.
NH tags of course, though we do have a smattering of overt magats on the west side of the Connecticut River.

(43,094 posts)But they'l still spout their bumper stickers elsewhere in the forum, and in many other forums. And it certainly won't change their narrow minds or even get them to think, because they don't have the capacity for that, nor any interest in it.

Apparently he was too lazy for that, because he blocked me.

(1,972 posts)respond. I had a wake up moment earlier today and came to the conclusion that at max only 10% of the Trump/MAGA FAITHFUL ARE REAL PEOPLE. The remainder are AI and Russians working for their THIRTY RUBLES and a liter of Vodka every Friday night

(41,926 posts)Any time somebody challenges them, they can't respond. They've already moved on.
These bots have an archive of nasty anti-Dem things they post anywhere they can get in. I've seen the same things posted word-for-word identically in multiple places, right down to the same misspellings and incorrect grammar.
It's a simple program and it only has one goal: to aggravate liberal-thinking people. I guess the secondary goal is to discourage us into thinking they are everywhere when in fact, they aren't anywhere.
