Here’s another.
GOP in 2016 = We need Trump because the rest of the world is laughing at America.
GOP today = Who cares what the rest of the world thinks?
As a non american, the world started laughing the second the orange man baby became your president.
it was sort of a mix of funny and nervous laughter though.
wasnt pleasent
3 downvotes on this, but no maga comments. Odd, usually the magas are the loudest assholes in the room. 🤔
Do MAGAs even bother on Lemmy?
I rarely see MAGA comments here. And if I do they are downvoted to hell.
Every once in a while I’ll see a maga comment, and honestly the first I think is this person has some kind of mental disability. The commets are always deranged and from an alternate reality.
And then below this is the .ml reply.
Dude they are identical in their dialog trees, just diametrically opposite. It’s like twinsies but for different affiliations
I’m quite serious in that I think the right to vote should be removed from most of these people.
Unfortunately that’s not the correct solution. When we start taking away citizens’ rights to participate in their public democratic government, we no longer have a public democratic government. Down the line, you would lose your right to vote as well, for a reason that you think is bullshit. And it would be bullshit, just like it’s bullshit to suggest removing voting rights from Trump supporters.
Yeah ok. I’m talking out my ass. But then how DO we tackle the brutal misinformation situation that has fueled these chucklefucks?
That’s the trillion dollar question man, and I honestly don’t know the answer.
My approach is to try be a rational voice that people in my circle feel comfortable talking to about anything, and telling them honestly and assertively when they’re not making sense or when they’re spouting harmful rhetoric (sort of what I did in my first reply to you here). It is exhausting and demoralizing, but I have found that when given the opportunity, people do trust their friends and family more than the random angry Russian people in their phone.
We have to engage with these people and try to help them, because they are going to vote and raise children in our country either way.
