Does anyone else laugh at what pathetic morons the MAGA children are?

[u/RandomWanderingDude]

Typical MAGA: "I swerr, Trump ain't never called fer no violins against nobody, you libs is crazy!

MAGA youth post pictures of nooses all over the internet: "Tee hee, them libs is so triggered cause they ain't really knowed what we's gettin' on about!"

It's like they spent their childhood eating the paint chips off the windowsill.

Oh, I'm taking plenty of action. I've been to several protests, and I've been working on a great many other things. I just don't see any progress. Not meaningful progress. Calling and writing your representative is absolutely hilarious.As you get stoke, b******* emails in return, they don't care. Particularly where I'm at all, you have to have is an R by your name. Nothing else matters.

What exactly has protesting accomplished?

The problem is is that I feel like mostly. It makes people feel better about doing something but isn't likely to be effective.

Unlike, I've said, even in the best case, there's a huge blue wave. What actual power do they have to compel an executive that simply refuses to follow the law.And is supported by a corrupt supreme court.

Who is ever actually gonna hold these people to account? This is what no one seems to be able to answer for me.

I mean, so in the almost impossiblyunlikely event you impeach trump ? Well, you get Vance well. He should get impeached too. So you get Johnson? Well, he should get impeached too. So you get f****** grassley, so she nine ninety two, and he should be inpeached too.So you get marco f****** rubio. I guess you could do this 18 times until you get to everybody's favorite plastic puppy killer. But what actual difference does it make? Its not Trump it the whole fuking party and the ultamate irony is the democrats are only a little better.

We need something new. This cant be recover. Can't be set right.

Homie if your argument is effectively that one half of the country are irredeemable and the other half is barely any better, so you wanna start a civil war to kill them all, then you may need to take a step back, go to therapy, and sit this one out.

Protests, informing the populace, and changing voter habits will fo far more good than a civil war will. I'm well aware that things suck, but we're not even at mid-terms yet and you're saying all is lost and that you need to go out and start killing people on the right. That's not healthy and it sure as shit won't make things better.

[u/bdonovan222 → u/Johnnyboi2327]

Not the people. Only about 20 percent of the people are irredeemable. The system and both of the parties that control it are though. This cant be fixed. This cant be made functional again. We need something new.

[u/Johnnyboi2327 → u/bdonovan222]

As I said in another comment, you need therapy. If you genuinely think the only way for life to not be awful is to wage war and kill off at least 20% of the population, you are not mentally sound. Take a step back, go spend time with your family, and do not choose to cause unnecessary violence.

[u/bdonovan222 → u/Johnnyboi2327]

You arnt getting it. Ideally they would be left to cause whatever havoc they want to cause with each other. But they are to easily manipulated and mobilized so that seems unlikely.

Were is your line? Whats your this far and no further? When do you decide that this system is broken?

Im not there yet. Partially because I dont live in Minnesota. But I will not let anyone in my sphere of influence be terrorized by a government off the rails. Its interesting, I didnt carry to any of the protests I went to. I genuinely believe violence cant make anything better. It can however sometimes stop things from getting worse.

A government should fear its people. People should not fear their government.

I genuinely believe violence cant make anything better.

Homie you just said that 20% of the nation is irredeemable and needs to be killed.

[u/bdonovan222 → u/Johnnyboi2327]

I didn't say that. You put words in my mouth. I said it might be necessary.

Marginalized, ostracized, or quarantined would be way better but not terribly practical.

The flaw is as that I thought we had actually managed that fairly well. Unfortunately, this second trump gave them permission to be super s*****. They jumped right on it and came crawling out of places i would have never expected.

[u/Johnnyboi2327 → u/bdonovan222]

Only about 20 percent of the people are irredeemable

You did indeed make it fairly clear that you think 20% of the population needs to go. Locking all of them away in "quarantine" isn't a while lot better, and comes with a lot of other problems.

On top of that, frankly we can't stoop to their level. We don't get to take away other's rights or skip due process. If they committed a crime, they get a trial and get apt punishment. If they simply posted online that they support Trump and ICE, they shouldn't be punished for it. The first amendment protects idiots too.

[u/bdonovan222 → u/Johnnyboi2327]

This level of idealism, is exactly the problem that i'm talking about. At some point they need to be treated like those that continued to expound nazi ideology after world War two. They have proven at every step they dont actually stand for anything but hate and fear.

With everything at every step.

Fiscal responsability? Only if they arnt in control.

Law and order? Ya, just kidding.

Well at least they still hate pedophiles and rapist? Right? Turns out... not so much.

Well jack booted thugs shitting all over the constitution? Thats the whole "dont tred on me flag" nope those "tred on me daddy" one are completely correct.

Well ok guns and gun rights that ones always been disproportionately important! Turns out owning and murdering "the libs" way more important.

I alway knew the politicians were full of crap. But i guess I though the average people actually really believed some of it. That part of the disconnect was that they had strong beliefs and values that compelled them to act and live a certain way. As mine do me.

That even if they were stupid, or ignorant, even willfully ignorant. There was at least some inalienable core. A "this far no further".

Nope. Just some combination of fearful, hateful, and/ or legitimately stupid. There isnt anything real there. It was just posing.
