    Yep and look at this thread, more than half the commenters (heavily upvoted) seem to think that all Trump voters are deeply hateful white supremacist Nazis that are incapable of change when that ain’t reality. Sure, you can sneer at them, shout at them, deride them - feel superior because you figured it all out sooner. And that would continue letting Russia’s investments dividing America (via online propaganda farms, assisting Trump in the 2016 election, and ongoing payments to right wing figureheads like Tim Poole, Tucker Carlson, Dave Rubin, Lauren Southern) be the best money and time they ever invested.

    If you think ‘its not my job’ well, bad news is you will either convince these people verbally with a compassionate ear and tone, or (best case) keep seeing your best future stripped from you or (worst case) meet them on the battlefield in some civil war 2 or other violent civil clash.

    Throw away the black and white thinking shit. Sure, there are lots of hardcore Trump voters that are deeply conservative, love Project 2025, and are just fine with fascism. However, a huge proportion of Trump voters are just ‘low-information voters’ that have been brought up in conservative households and voted Trump because they didn’t think much about it. Many further are dumbasses that knew the US was a mess and wanted political ‘change’ but were political laymen and were grifted by multiple dozens of RW media figures & orgs (which are just the default shit on tv in many states) into believing Trump will bring his promised change for the better.

    If some of them are waking up to the con now then that’s a gift horse that you shouldn’t look in the mouth. They are perfectly positioned to be pushed farther along with more knowledge - you can show them the left wing rabbit hole while they have a more open mind, or some brainwashed racist can show them a different rabbit hole about “(((globalists)))” that may lead them to a become even worse enemies.

      As soon as they kept supporting him after the “grab them by the pussy” tape, they revealed what hateful bigots they all were. Just because they get dissatisfied with their cult leader doesn’t mean they stop being hateful bigots.

      Also the dissent has already been stopped. They have fallen back into line, like the goosestepping nazis they are.
