    You dont have to come together, you just have to stop being cunts to each other. None of you are fucking evil. Just fucking talk!

      You aren’t even doing a good job of getting non Trump supporters to agree with you.

      And if you don’t see supporting someone who wants to be a dictator, wants to get rid of minorities, hires white nationalists like Hegseth, threatens Canada’s independence, bombs Venezuelan boats, and has ties to the files as not evil then what exactly is evil to you?

      Because a person who endorses that type of person and only complains when they are financially affected, but were happily cheering on the policies before hand sure seem evil to me. This isn’t like some disagreement about which food is better. What they fundamentally were in support of is red flags.

        Its not my job to make you drink, just show you where the water is.

        You dont know what the other people think or why they do the things they do. You just apply your dumb logic to people, and demote them to second class. Theres a word for people like that…

        Heres a little history lesson. Just after the slaves were freed they found themselves with nothing. So they applied the skills they had, and grew Watermelon and sold it at market. They didnt just survive, they thrived. So much so that the watermelon became a symbol of Black of hope and strength to the freed slaves. The former slave owners on the other hand, didnt like that. So they started taking out ads showing black people eating watermelon like animals. And not just black people, caricatures of black people with the big lips. Inside 10 years, the watermelon was a racist symbol and struggled to sell it. Theres a story of a young boy who met his former nanny. When she left, the boy cried as he didnt want her to go. But when they met again, and the woman was over joyed to see the young boy she asked him to share some watermelon with him. His reply? “I dont eat n***** food.”.

        That is the power of propaganda. And that was just local weekly/monthly newspapers. But it worked so well, that over 100 years later, the watermelon is still associated with hatred of black people, instead of the symbol of hope that it started out as. Theres a lot more than a few newspapers now. But you seem to think that because people fall for the bullshit, that make it ok to hate them. Because they werent cool like to to see through it. Cos youre the good guys… gods chosen people… or some dumb shit that allows you to look at human beings and see something beneath you.

          I don’t even want to talk to you and you aren’t even as unpleasant as those who support maga ideals, so your whole just talk it out has been a failure from the onset. But, if you believe maga is even easier to talk it out and change their minds then go at it.

            Never said it was easy. Said calling for people to be treated as 2nd class, makes you just like the people you hate. Nazis. I know that makes you uncomfortable, but thats what you are if you see people, any people, that way.
