      If you think any or all of these is going to finally get a Trump supporter to lose faith, then you failed to learn the lesson that 2016 should’ve taught you, and yesterday should’ve reminded you of - they will never lose faith. He could tell them to literally kill their own kids and they’d just say “Oh, like what God told Abraham! I’ll get right on it, my Lord!”

        Doesn’t matter if they lose faith or not.

        As each of these things comes to pass, as I ride this flaming dirigible into the hard earth rushing up at us, at the very least I’m going to spend that time telling the magas in my life that this is their fucking fault at every available opportunity.

      Don’t forget what RFK might do in charge of public health. A federal vaccine ban is a nonzero possibility.

      Remember, our only duty now is to NEVER LET THEM LIVE THIS DOWN.

      If any Nazi I know suddenly feels remorse I will straight up tell them to shut the fuck up and that i never want to hear remorse from them.

      My neighbors are all republicans. Nothing will make them go quiet. Leadership could bus them and their children into a giant municipal sausage grinder and they would be babbling happily about winning right up until they died.

        Fake news. No right wing community would have a municipal sausage grinder. That’s socialism, yo.

      they won’t ever see any of it even if it directly affects them. Nothing penetrates their bubble without getting warped to fit their world view. All they can latch onto is fear and hate.

      Military sent to Ukraine

      You really think Trump is going to do that? I like your optimism.
