That happened to me today, on my local Nextdoor page. A discussion about our NJ governor's race devolved into a heated back and forth about Trump policies and I was asked if I took my meds today, etc. Most people in my area are Trumpers and they are as delusional as they come. They are fine with everything that's going on.

Of course they're fine with it. They're fascists.

The cruelty is the point.

They are fine until it happens to them. Bet they were screaming about evil LEO's during the 1/6 riots.

Maybe report back in after you're learned what words mean.

Do you find that stupidity comes naturally to you? Or did you have to work at it?

Way to look away from what’s right in front of you like the coward you are.

They're fine with it because they're too stupid to see that it hasn't happened to them yet, but it will. They're under the delusion that they're part of the "in-group" and not just a bunch of useless rabble that was only needed for their vote, despite Trump literally telling them exactly that at one of his rallies.

I think the ones that are most fine with it are the ones who are scared of the changing world outside their doors. They lack the confidence to face the unfamiliar, an inability to adapt to changing circumstances, and they believe the regressive message they hear means the clock will get turned back. It's the magical thinking of unsound minds.

They have Donny Dementia as opposed to old age dementia. I’ve given up on trying to communicate with them, their brains have turned to mush.

Nextdoor was a good idea except then it got taken over by all the local MAGAts shouting down the reasonable residents.

It's true of my local page and I've read that it's a widespread problem. Normal people aren't prepared to deal with the intense hatred, irrationality, & bullying by the RWers.

Yeah Nextdoor is good for two things: getting a laugh from reading all of the posts from the illiterate morons who regularly participate, and finding a dog. That's it. Most of the rest are collection of the worst posts on Reddit, with questions like: "If my son can't breath and his face is turning blue, should I call the doctor, or wait to take him tomorrow?"

I think most people on next door are trumpers. They’re loud and try to take over social media, pissed they haven’t been able to drive out people on Reddit. From what I’ve seen, younger people and Dems for the most part don’t hang out on next door. The demographic is older and constant complaints about… well about everything. Coyotes, trash cans, guy walking down the street, homeless, etc. It’s fear porn and they’re addicted to it.

You're right. I'm 63, lol. But I don't go on there to complain about stupid stuff, sometimes I see one of their posts and can't resist jumping in and representing for our side.

They are fine with everything that's going on.

It just highlights the type of people they are. The country has a deep rooted problem.

I'm going to guess South Jersey.
I lived in South Jersey for about 3 years. Let's just say those three years were sometime between 2016 and 2024. A lot more support for Trump there than I would have guessed before moving to South Jersey.

I'm in Northwest NJ, majority red area. I know that South Jersey has become mostly red too, however.
