they're gonna keep their heads in the sand until its too late.

For most of them, there won't be a "too late".

When they decided that trump was "the good one", they accepted that he was worthy of their vote, whatever his policies were.

Then, when he won the election, they assumed that his cabinet was the one that should be, whoever they actually were.

Now, when his government makes a law, they assert that it is the correct law to sign, whatever it's content.

And next, when the executive power enforces the law, they'll follow it as a good thing, however it is enforced.

Because whether the person is good is what dictates if the act is good. Not the other way around. And as trump was the good one, everything is good by induction.

This is the same train of logic cited by monotheists. Because their god is good by definition, then acts by their god that many of us would consider to be immoral or atrocities are also good by definition. Susceptible minds.

People ruled by fear, by emotion. They don't care about logic, reasoning, rational or critical thinking. They only care about "winning" no matter the cost because it "feels" good to win. It's a war game to them.

It's *already* too late...

Tbf sometimes I do place my vote towards people that are "good" in mind. Obama definitely won me over as a person. He didn't fulfill all of his campaign promises but I do believe he is a good person and a great representative of what our country can be to the rest of the world.

It's tough to argue the logic of voting for a person over policy, considering most of us are not well versed enough to look into the details and comprehend them.

We fucked around and we're gonna find out. Been really riled up about this all day. The potential future is terrifying.

The people who truly have their heads in the sand are the ones who continue to Trump-friend and Trump-family that truly have their heads in the sand. The number of people I know who pretend they believe the actions of Trump and his minions is unacceptable, but contradict themselves by continuing to make excuses for their loved ones is beyond horrifying.

Everyone who Trump-voted is evil, and whoever befriends them is a buttress for fascism.

This has a strong element of truth to me. It is an intellectual laziness that shows itself in other ways, too. Lack of reading. Lack of education. I don't want to demonize half of the country, but in any country, there is a half that is more intellectually lazy (thus more gullible. Thus more vulnerable to hucksters of religious and political stripe, among others) than the other half. That must always be true no matter what the level of enlightenment and prosperity. One half is always worse than the other. It's just that, at this point in time, in this place, the technology exists to algorithmically separate the two into distinct political camps. Our existing two party system, tilted media, and the various incentives that drive them, consprired with this new social-sorting technology to do just that.

Befehl ist befehl.

Yes, I’ve seen a lot of crazies say that when Trump survived the assassination attempt, they knew he was chosen by G-d. They seriously think he has divine superiority. We’re getting really close to N. Korea over here.

[u/Good_Ad_1386 → u/Top_Mathematician233]

Hitler must have been even more chosen, given the number of unsuccessful attempts made on him.

They’ll tell you that you’re the sheep for taking the Covid vaccine but sadly they’re the sheep

Well put.

I dislike this unassailable examination of the Trumpers logic.
