    Yea, that the term “Blue MAGA” has arisen out of this is kinda telling. Once you see it in the “Biden is our president, if you’re not voting for him you’re part of the problem” types, you can’t unsee it.

      Isn’t it funny how the Dem talking points often actively discourage people from voting for them? Reminds me of how church groups force people to proselytize, specifically to piss off those people, so they can come back to the church and be told ‘See? All those other people are bad, mean, and stupid. You belong here with us.’

      Except the Dems are doing it to feed their personal moral or intellectual narcissism. It was never about getting votes for that type in the first place - they just wanna feel superior. Which is also why their talking points usually involve guilt trips or other sophistry/bad faith arguments - because they are using this as a proxy to enact narcissistic abuse. If Dems were forced to argue a real position, they would have to become leftists through that honest argumentation (reality has a leftwing bias). There’s a reason none of them are leftists (Dems are centrists). There are talking points from the 70s and 60s they could be picking up, progressive ideas like child care for all (which used to be something Republicans favored)- the point is to prevent progress while being as narcisstically proud of that as possible.

      And truly, narcissism and moral degradation have really really really fucked up our country. And by moral degradation, I mean we’ve become a disrespectful country, almost no community (because we sold it for capital), abusive, and PROUD of that abuse. That’s the only way a man with 34 felonies, who’s raped numerous adult women AND CHILDREN INCLUDING A 12 YEAR OLD, could be a candidate for president.

      It disgusts me.
