  • In college I was a 9/11 conspiracy believer. Thought the implications of Loose Change were all true. Explosive charges put in the building beforehand, etc. Even wrote articles about it in the school paper.

    I also took a philosophy course on critical thinking.

    Not long after, I saw the cracks in the theories and now know better.

    I made mistakes and had regret and now I’m a lot older and wiser.

    So I know intimately what it’s like to get sucked into a belief emotionally as opposed to factually.

    I say that so I can wholeheartedly say to you, fuck that. MAGA is utter poison. The literal worst that humanity has on offer. The only MAGA I’ll tolerate in my life is a MAGA that spends the rest of their lives dedicated to allyship for gay/trans people, fighting climate change, and so on. That’s for even a chance at redemption.

    Honestly…fuck anyone who can see how things have gone in the last 10 years and think it’s the fucking left that must be tolerant.

    Fuuuuuuuck that.






  • That’s a lot of presumptions to build an argument.

    I don’t think you’re wrong about the complacency, but if I’m not mistaken we’re not talking about the fact no one is engaging with the political process. We’re talking about the political process being either a facade or just irrelevant.

    If the election is free and fair:

    Republicans win overall = MAGA in control Democrats win overall = MAGA claims fraud, ignores results

    If the election is screwed with, which obviously it is:

    Republicans win overall = MAGA in control Democrats win overall = lol

    Please, suggest what you think would happen if a Democrat landslide occurs in November? MAGA just accepts democracy and moves on? Lol.


  • I would argue it’s not just that. They also weren’t ready.

    The purging of the top brass continued, and continues (today being a particularly good day to note that)

    The whole premise of the last two years was preparing for this November.

    Don’t bother trying to convince anyone now. Just try to be austere and get ready as best you can, reasonably, and ignore everyone calling people doomers or whatever. I watched that happen for 18 years on climate change and finally understood that the vast majority of people are in fact lemmings whether they like it or not, and will happily walk off the cliff that is pretty obviously in front of us if you’re paying attention.
