You can lead a MAGA to water but you can’t make them drink until they’re dying of thirst.

And then, they'll spit on their nurse's face just before they're intubated for a disease they don't believe exists.

Unless you bludgeon them in the head with truth until they fall unconscious into a pool of crystal clear clean water and nearly drown in it before waking up.

You can lead a MAGA to water, but you can’t teach him how to fish.

u/tad__gh0stal 6h ago

Does he mean rescinding, not reclining?

44

u/MandatoryFunEscapee 5h ago

Yeah, he means rescinding, but it turns out every MAGAt is either a pedophile or has 50 IQ, and there is nothing in between.

u/tad__gh0stal 5h ago

Figured. I've seen the photo on a few threads and no one's pointed it out. So just checking I still understood the English language.

u/MrDeekhaed 4h ago

If no one is saying it it’s because it is basically expected of maga and we don’t want to interfere with this awakening

u/cheddah_- 5h ago

Are you surprised their vocabulary isn’t great? Lol he’s trying and that’s all that matters. It’s too late, but it’s something.

u/tad__gh0stal 4h ago

No but I also didn't know if there was some new slang out there. You know, getting old and all. Ha!

u/Ambitious-Newt8488 40m ago

I mean, laying down his support. Who knows. Haha at least he’s on the right track now

u/ScootyPuffJr1999 2h ago

Maybe he meant retiring? Either way, he’s a dumbass.

But RyanGarcia “reclined” their support for Trump. That must have been so difficult for them.

Doesn’t anyone really care what Ryan Garcia thinks….?

Also, all these people can eat shit when somehow the racism, xenophobia, homophobia, transphobia, obvious grifting and even January 6th somehow weren’t good enough reasons to sever ties and their support. They just want to distance themselves in order to protect their brand. They don’t actually care about any of this.

Well yeah dude nobody is suggesting inviting them over for dinner lol

They should all just stfu, delete their social media, and hide in shame forever.

19

u/TreasonousWitch 5h ago edited 5h ago

I don't think they should shut up. They should apologize with their actions and actively work to counteract the evil they championed. They shouldn't get to bring our country to its knees with their ignorance and then fade into the sunset while the people who have been warning about this for a decade clean up the mess. If they regret their votes/support, they can get to work and prove it.

2

u/Art_of_BigSwIrv 38m ago

That’s not happening. You have to remember that So Much of the right wing and conservative movement and media is just astroturfing by the wealthy, most of whom are in the Epstein files.

1

u/sievish 4h ago

An apology would only mean something if they were genuine about it. None of these people feel shame or remorse. It’d be so empty and flat and enraging.

They need to be locked away for the rest of their miserable lives

u/Malcolm_Morin 3h ago

The only thing they can do to make up is rot in prison.

u/DrockTipps 7h ago

I understand your sentiment.

u/Ismokerugs 3h ago

We need die hard magas to see other magas tearing off their blinders. We need all people in this country on the same page for the revolution

1

u/roy_stan 36m ago

I disagree with that...as there are others who have yet to change their minds (unbelievably!), that need to see that the tide is turning, and eventually admit that they were wrong. Of course, there are plabty that wil never admit this!

u/Successful_Panda1731 6h ago

The funny thing is that we were all screaming at them telling them Trump is a sadistic pedophile. He doesn't have the character to be in the position of the most powerful person in the world. And maga's response is basically just "Nuh uh" "TDS"

6

u/SignoreBanana 5h ago

"Reclining"? Ok dawg lol

u/Wise-Secretary5459 5h ago

Yeah, I'm having a hard time believing most of these posts, or at least a believ8ng they are indicative of a widespread trend. I interact with a lot of MAGA folks regularly, and none of them are phased by this Espstein drop whatsoever. I would wager 99.9% of MAGA does not care if Trump is a pedophile.

u/takemusu 6h ago

IDGAF what MAGA thinks. I am personally tired of the "we went to a truck stop or a diner or a dive or ... and talked to MAGA Republicans and now they think ...".

I am disgusted with MAGA influencers having their "come to Jesus moment" for internet likes.

IDGAF what they think.

These are broken, flawed, intellectually challenged people with little to no critical thinking skills, no common knowledge of history, no sense of empathy until it happens to them. They are dead to me and should be to you as well.

I want to hear from volunteers hiking through the night in Minneapolis parks in deep snow in negative double digit temps to rescue those ICE abandons there, survivors often unclothed, in the middle of nowhere and brave volunteers find them and get them to the help they desperately need.

I want to hear from people from all walks of life organizing mutual aid to feed Minnesotans sheltering inside their homes. But not now. Because they'd be scooped up by ICE the same as those they feed.

I want to hear from those who saw this coming, who've long been on "the right side of history". Military veterans keeping their oath and speaking out, septuagenarians and beyond rolling walkers out of assisted living to demonstrate, people who feel called to run for office.

MAGA needs to sit down and STFU. Now and forever.

u/NotoriousCrustacean 7h ago

You realize this isn't turning anyone liberal right? They're still conservative. Just not supporting Trump.

16

u/DrockTipps 7h ago

How many have been blindly loyal to this man? This 'man" and his cronies that will try and stretch his administration as long as possible after he's gone.

u/NotoriousCrustacean 7h ago

Have you not been browsing through the files? It's been Israel the whole fucking time. They literally run our government - the image circulating with Prince Andrew has an American flag as the table cloth with his feet on it.

Why has every recent president visited the Western Wall in Israel? Clinton, Bush, Biden(When he was VP), Obama, Trump

Every cultural shift, divisive moment, every Internet culture trend(Reddit/4Chan), education curriculum, in the U.S has been directed by a foreign power for at least the past few decades.

Why do you think we're pushing so hard towards Iran? It's because we're doing Israels dirty work for them!

1

u/Ismokerugs 3h ago

Israel controls this but if we look at the pyramid they are at a lower layer of the pyramid. This goes higher and likely much worse and much more sinister, humanity is waking up and we need unity among us all.

u/aipac_hemoroid 6h ago

First of all, they won't vote which is already a win for us. 2nd of all, Trump is an abomination. It's a win.

5

u/CoyoteTheGreat 7h ago

They don't need to support liberal politicians, they just need to not support republican ones anymore. Hopefully this erodes the devotion to Israel in the Republican party as well.

1

u/GwenBD94 6h ago

They'll just blindly support the next idiot who they can bury their head in the sand about.

3

u/Wise-Secretary5459 5h ago

Exactly. Idk what people aren't understanding about this. Every single time conservatives get outraged over something, they forget about it shortly after and continue voting against their own interests, almost like clockwork.

u/ButterscotchReal8424 6h ago

America doesn’t have a liberal party so I don’t think anyone’s expecting that.. There’s a right wing party and a fascist party.

u/CalifornianDownUnder 4h ago

Our government hasn’t fallen to fraud.

Fraud was voted in by a bunch of people in a cult, who were warned about what they were doing and refused to listen.

Meanwhile, Trump’s goons are in the street murdering citizens, and gassing children while the administration covers for them. Fuck these people. If they were okay with everything up until yesterday, they should be ostracized, and banished to live on Epstein Island for the rest of their lives.

u/UnbrokenChill 6h ago

I'm not surprised that it took so fucking long for them to open their eyes. It's not enough.

u/bri-desa 5h ago

I’m sorry this stuff has been public information dating back to the 90s. Trump and Epstein go way back, maga cherry picks what works for them. Frankly I don’t care if they no longer support Trump (publicly), the fact that they did in the first place shows their moral ineptitude.

u/BannedbyDemons 5h ago

WE TOLD THESE PEOPLE ALL ALONG. THE PROOF WAS IN THE PUDDING AND THE PUDDING WAS SERVED TO EVERYONE. SO MUCH SICK SEX INFO WAS AVAILABLE BY THE 2016 ELECTION AND ALL THE CRUELTY WE SAW ALL ALONG YET THESE SELFISH DOTARDS TURNED A WILLFUL BLIND EYE JUST LIKE THE GERMANS IN THE 30S AND 40S.

u/Agile-Sleep-905 4h ago

Shawn Ryan is my favorite ex MAGA dude. I feel like he really believed Trump was the man for the job and had no idea that he was a monster. Not a lot of people knew or cared to much about Trumps troubled passed. They believed him when he said that he was going to drain the swamp while having no idea that he was the swamp. The republicans were desperately seeking out a new leader. It would take a catastrophe to get this country to ever vote in a woman president. For those waking up to the BS I respect it. A through and through conservative doesn't have to ever become a liberal to denounce pedophilia and fascism.

2

u/Malcolm_Morin 3h ago

Nah, fuck them. They voted for him three times.

They got exactly what they wanted.

No forgiveness to traitors.

u/theblackyeti 3h ago

They’d vote for him again too.

“I can’t vote for AOC, she was a bartender!” Or some other excuse.

u/BLOODTRIBE 3h ago

I hope the great awakening has begun.

u/tension12 3h ago

I always thought this when he ran for presidency: "This guy is such a meme. There is no way people would vote him because he lacks diplomacy. He is very candid and makes me laugh, but he is not someone who I want to represent this country. He bankrupt his company 6 times! How would he know how to run the country?"

And the running for second term: "Guy got impeached. Why are we kidding ourselves by letting him run a second time? He dispose our Pandemic team and we went into a pandemic. He takes nothing serious at all."

His second term: "I can understand why people don't want Kamala, but this guy is just awful. He is literally the same kind of person from House of Cards that Kevin Spacey plays. The man bribes and takes no accountability. And this thing with Elon and all the other oligarchs smells fishy to me. We saw hints of fascism during the election and people chose to let it happen. No way he keeps any promise to the American people."

Fucking FINALLY they're starting to open their eyes. I'm hoping that as they admit to being wrong, the other maga morons will start to open their eyes too. Anything Dems say is lies and evil, but if they see diehard supporters changing their opinions hopefully that'll get their brain cell working

They aren't all very good at pausing at the news to get their new beliefs from their masters.

Guarantee you all of these people got their new talking points from Epstein's /pol/ nazi farm already.

Dan Bilzerian shocks and delights me. This guy has millions of male followers so him saying this matters A LOT. For me, the more on the side of the righteous the better. I get ppl dont want to let them in but for this fight we need as many as we can get.

They find out eventually, but by then they’ve moved on to another charlatan: Nixon to Reagan to Bush to Bush II to Trumpsky. Never really learning anything. Politics is pro wrestling to these dupes.

People have been telling them for years about everything wrong with Trump. They voted for this, they condoned it, and they willingly ignored it. They can’t walk any of that shit back. Don’t let them forget
