It's a classic conservative propaganda technique to name their evil plans the opposite of what they actually mean. If it contains the word "freedom" it's about tyranny. If it says "protect" it means persecution, and if it says "children" just mentally append "fuck" in front of it.

Right, but I don't think I even want "choice". I just want the best. The best education, the best food, the best healthcare. If there isn't any choice...that's fine as long as it's high quality.

And what are you willing to give to the society around you? Your best? Is that what you're doing right now? I sure hope so because otherwise you sound like a petulant child.

We need to stop saying right vs left framing. It’s the wealthy class propaganda technique. Poor people that are “conservative” are in most cases just tricked by these parasitic ghouls that spend money to lie to people to work against their own self interests.

The average maga voter isn't the mind behind the propaganda they parrot.

This is exactly the point.

They live in a controlled information environment; much like the Russian people who think Ukraine is full to the brim with Nazis.

They have been force fed hate and bigotry for decades at this point. They are not blameless, but also they don't deserve all the hate that is projected at them.

As pointed out, the education system is gutted, thus they are not curious and checking their biases; it is normalized for them to be hateful toward "others"; their whole world is small and full of fear.

I pity them their small pathetic lives, and dislike them for their shitty views. The only thing I hate is that the stupid bigotry seems to be spreading around the world.

I mean, I agree with you on all this, but I have a very hard time seeing how this is relevant to my comment. The topic was conservative propaganda techniques, not hating conservative voters. I despise them, but hate is too strong a word for me to feel for any person.
