I don’t understand how the US is so prop-full of hateful, ignorant, angry people. Is it because of all the lead they ingested towards the end of the 20th century?
Its because conservatives have actively meddled in the educational system, and kept kids from learning and practicing Critical Thinking Skills. At the same time, they used the vast Conservative Propaganda Machine to teach people to rely on Faith-Based Thinking, where they believe whatever they are told, no matter how absurd or outlandish, as long as it comes from someone in authority, such as a radio/tv talk show host, a politician, a preacher, a cop, a boss, etc.
Thats why they went so hard after evangelicals. They have already proven that they will build their entire lives around the most bizarre mythology and fairy tales written by neolithic goatherders, so all they had to do was get them to accept their political fairy tales, too.
Critical Thinking Skills are the most important part of any person’s education, and Conservatives have actively suppressed it. That’s why the Department of Education has always been one of their worst enemies. The 'liberal indoctrination" they are always screaming about are Critical Thinking Skills.
It’s because those in power will always make sure the masses are blaming the “others” and that there will always be "others"to blame. They don’t want people looking too closely and seeing that it is them who make life hard.
Look around the world… It’s not just the US, the US are just a big example of it
…the baby boomer generation were raised on television and consider it an authoritative source of information; fox news made them a captive asset…as for younger folks on the fascist train, it’s likely sensationalist social media echo chambers, and unfortunately more and more countries are fostering the same pathology…

It’s retaliation and self defense on a sociological scale
If that’s what you think, you completely missed the message. If anyone wants to live peacefully I’ll let them, that’s what we all want. If anyone starts to take away people’s rights, disappears people, call my neighbors subhuman, ext, I’ll punch them square in the face in the face.

That’s you. That’s what you sound like.

you just wear a different colored hat
You almost understand this issue 🤣
I understand how you’ve arrived at that conclusion, but you should investigate Popper’s Paradox.
Cry louder! Nazis deserve everything they get. Because unlike any of the groups the attack so aggressively, they placed themselves in the line of fire. They get attacked because they CHOSE to be inhhumane monsters.
I have not an ounce of mercy left for these creatures!
Is that maybe exactly how everyone that is pulling the strings on all this want you to feel? Just food for thought. You be you, just don’t close the door on these people, we’ve all spent some time lost.
Living in a southern state that is solid red - it’s just difficult to exist. Much more than half of the people I interact with would not view me as a human being if I weren’t stealth about my transness - if I didn’t pass. These people voted against my rights and safety. I’m surrounded by people who think people like me are subhuman.
And I’ll bet that every one of them calls themself a Christian. Fucking joke religion that doesn’t even follow its own tenets.

The best advice I can give to anyone regarding MAGAts is to take advantage of them.
They’re letting us know how stupid they are. They’re marking themselves.
So take advantage of them. Run some scams on them. They’ll fall for it. Don’t let Daddy Trump be the only one robbing them blind.
I thought about running a far-right merch store selling shirts and stickers with all of their shitty little half-brained slogans on them and donating all the profits to left-leaning organizations. Make them indirectly fund the people they’re trying to harm.
My baby insanity wolf self already does a variation of this.
When my conservative family and acquaintances give me gifts, I donate the gifts to charities or political groups that I know those folks would hate to support. Uncle Ben gives me a debit gift card? That’s going to Bernie Sanders and the ACLU. Cousin Jen gave me a digital photo frame? That’s getting sold and the money’s going to Planned Parenthood.
The fact that I repeatedly tell these people not to give me any gifts and yet they still do is the icing on the cake.
If you see pop-up shops selling Trump merch, they’re often run by immigrants. Money is money.
If I didn’t have scruples and lived in the States I’d be all over that.
I was thinking about writing something for one of those alt right self publishing companies.
I get the sentiment, but posts like this only foment the hate from either side even more. Just adding fuel to the outrage, and as long as we keep doing it like this, there will never be an offramp. The freeway will simply end in fire. This strategy is not tenable.
Spoken like a true Democrate. Remain passive in the face of evil.
What the fuck is a Democrate, you dilettante?
Maybe Reagan shouldn’t have closed down the mental institutes and facilitate the stifling of access to mental health
Looking back, I’m starting to believe it was a long-term political calculus, not just abandoning the most vulnerable in our society…
Libs blaming mental health? Fashy as usual. Anything to avoid blaming themselves/dems.
There’s plenty of blame to go around, but this is a stone cold stupid take.
It’s sad there are so many, but it’s better that we know. They are the reason behind freedom of speech. If they aren’t allowed to speak, then we don’t know the extent of the problem. Only education can solve this problem in the long run–that is why they attack public education.
The big realisation, for me, was during Covid. I haven’t recovered since. My view of people, in general, has changed forever.
Yikes
Look at Stars ‘n Stripes Shrek there. Isn’t he just the happiest guy ever?
the kind of people who dont give the least bit of fuck about pretty horrible things until it happens to them after which they love to play the victim
I hope that guy gets ink poisoning.
Back in my day, we called these people assholes
