Just statistically they have to happen. There are millions of democrats with maga neighbors that cant shut up about shit but dont actually know what they are talking about. Whether these stories happen to the people that post about them is a different question.

Democrats be like:

🔴Cut out MAGAzis from their life.

🔴Treat MAGAzis cordially to find out how fucked they are going to be.

Believe it or not, any sufficiently large group of people will have people who behave differently within it

Find out their weaknesses for when the purge hits.

Bullets. Like most people, they are weak to bullets.

The fascists have found surprising success in choosing to make their suicides everyone’s problem. I’m not telling people to kill themselves, don’t, life is worth living even now, survival is a radical act, etc, but it is food for thought and a thing to contemplate why we let happen

Considering Democrats lost ground with every single voting demographic, it would seem to me that they're going to have to quit being so smug and actually get on people's level, if only by necessity.

"I put a fascist in power because people pointed out my ignorance, and I don't want to change that."

-Typical 3x trump voter-

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 8 points 6 days ago (1 children)

You're wrong.

And that's why Dems lost the election.

Look at Missouri, where we voted down an abortion ban in a landslide, passed a $15 minimum wage in a landslide, and still went fully red. These aren't bad people. They're people that are sick of being told to be joyful when they're working 2-3 jobs for the privilege of barely surviving in America, and it's happening under Democrats.

"I put a fascist in power because mcdonals tripled the price on a quarter pounder combo"

-Typical 3x trump voter apologist-

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I'm not an apologist.

Just pointing out simple facts, and I'd think after this last election a reasonable person would get that repeating memes isn't terribly convincing.

[–] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Apologist : Noun : someone who speaks or writes in defense of someone or something that is typically controversial, unpopular, or subject to criticism.

Literally the definition from Merriam Webster.

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago (2 children)

For someone who is, apparently, capable of referencing facts, you have a remarkably difficult time processing them.

Anyone with the grasp on reality you are claiming for these voters knows that Trump will make anything they are already angry about worse for everyone including them.

But they pulled the lever for Trump anyway, because Democrats didn't talk nicely enough to them?

I have no money in the bank, and plenty of struggles of my own that Dems could have helped with far more than they have. I'm angry as hell at Democrats for a number of things. It wasn't enough to get me to pull the lever for Trump.

That's the whole point.

It's why so many never vote at all. Both D's and R's don't do anything meaningful to mitigate the struggles of the working poor. Dems told people working 2-3 jobs to barely survive in this country to be joyful for three months, and shockingly, the message didn't resonate.

[–] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 0 points 6 days ago

Every accusation, a confession.

Let's see, blames Dems for something that isn't their fault... Doesn't bother to take 2 seconds to research claim before spewing bullshit... "Nuh uh, I'm rubber you're glue" playground logic...

Starting to think you might be more than a trump voter apologist.
