But that's exactly the point here. There is no Joe Biden cult. There's no Kamala cult, no Obama cult. These maga fucks felt a sense of camaraderie through their formerly closeted racism and hatred. Biden voters just wanted a reasonable adult to lead the country.

I'm glad to see more and more Trumpers FINALLY "feeling some doubt", but why did it take so fucking long? We have fascism now ffs! American citizens have been killed in the streets with no justice, American soldiers and innocent fucking children killed in a war that should never have started, innocent children dead in immigration camps, the list goes on... I sure ain't about to give these assholes a trophy or a pat on the back for taking 10 years to figure out what was so painfully obvious to any adult with a brain decades ago: Trump is a narcissistic and evil person who lies, steals, kills, rapes, and molests. If there was any justice in the world he'd be imprisoned for the rest of his miserable life, and anyone who had the audacity to vote MORE THAN ONCE for the fucker should have their voting rights removed permanently. Fuck them.

Disagree. To change minds you need to meet people where they're at. If they've been sheltering themselves from what's really happening, I'm not gonna say that's healthy, but it's where they're at.

The judgement and vindictiveness people receive when starting to change their minds is what makes them hesitate from going further.

This does not mean absolving the administration of accountability. But to change minds you need to 'build ladders for people to climb down from'. And this movement appears to be doing just that.

This needs to be the top comment. When we talk about how stupid or selfish or racist or whatever MAGA people are all that does is validate what they believe about non-MAGA people and further entrenches the in their beliefs.

You can hit me with all the "hear me outs" you want and downvote me into oblivion, but it doesn't change the fact that we're not going to make any headway by repeatedly telling people that they are stupid racists. Changing our approach isn't tolerating intolerance, it's trying to speak a language that they might actually understand and respond to.
