A hardcore maga coworker told me that “if” it’s proven that Trump “was” in the Epstein files he will still vote for him because I’m his own words “I would rather vote for a pedophile than an honest democrat.”

And they wonder why their kids never visit anymore 🙄

Sad thing is he has 2 sons and they are also hardcore maga too. His oldest son has a toddler and he’s said he’s gonna raise his the right way in that to be conservative.

Ask him what specific conservative policies he supports. Don't even push back at first, just make him try and articulate what principles he even believes in that aren't in opposition to something. Like ask "if all the liberals vanished in an instant, what do you and your side believe in and want?"

So many of these people are so wrapped up in fighting boogymen they just truly haven't even realized how hollow the cart they've attached their horse to is

Making conservatives defend their own policies is like asking my dog to make dinner.

I always point to the Alabama Senate election between Roy Moore and Doug Jones. Roy Moore, known pedophile, vs. normal Democrat. Far too many conservatives went on record saying "better than a Democrat".

They are so anti-pedophile until suddenly they're not. What a disgusting thing to change your opinion on, person to person.

That's the thing, they never changed their opinion, they just lied

Do these people mean it as democracy per se or just the democratic party? Just trying to understand your country's stage of fascism.

No they pearl clutch and love America and the democracy it has. But they have been taught that Democrats/Liberals are horrible, disgusting people. It's a knee jerk reaction at this point. My brother, who is hardcore maga, said "no I don't think they are talking about you. You aren't a 'liberal'". Like he was saving me from a terrible slur. And I had to nicely tell him that I am, in fact, liberal.

It kind of feels like the hatred against "the gays" in the 90s. They need someone to hate and right now it's the Democrats and liberals, and I guess everyone else the media has told them to hate (lgbtq, trans, etc).

They need to understand what you get when you remove 1 party from a 2 party system.

They don’t even know the rules, they just make up or move be flag pole as needed…

[–] starik@lemmy.zip 10 points 1 week ago

These people aren’t sophisticated enough to know that small-d democrats are a thing

[–] DeprecatedCompatV2@programming.dev 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Ackchyually it's not a democracy, it's a constitutional republic, and those are words I read off a screen. They mean that my political team is better than yours and that owning land should give my political team more voting rights than yours.

The joke is that they're all child molesters.

[–] Simulation6@sopuli.xyz 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Weren’t people wearing bandages on their ear and diapers at one time to be like trump? I guess they might do other things.

they think its a form of mockery against the accusers, or the ones making fun of them, they are just digging themselves a larger whole of a joke they are.

My visceral issue with that comic series is that either: 1) the faces are weirdly deformed, with their mouths where their noses should be, or 2) they have little Disney button noses, and no actual mouths.

Those dots you think are eyes? Nostrils...
