Maybe that belief alone will loosen up their steadfast cultishness.

(10,870 posts)the thinking that Democrats are just plain evil.
We are all heathen atheists that want to have unlimited sex and abortions, take money from the rich who have rightfully earned it and give it away to lazy socialists, hate America, hate Christians, believe in crazy things like science and climate change, etc. etc.
They really believe that a Soviet/Russian style of white rule is preferable to having Democrats in charge.
They call us Demon-cRats.
We are both demonic and rats/vermin.
The years of brainwashing by right wing radio and Fox News has done its job.
I cry for America and what so much of it has become.

We're supposed to be all understanding to them, listen to them, not criticize them, but then they go off on how Democrats and the media are "enemies and traitors."
The last Trumper I talked to about this (now I mostly avoid talking to them), I said, "You know, he's going to be gone, and those neighbors and friends and grandkids you have who voted against him will still be in your life... are you sure you want to hate them all?"
She huffed and said of course she doesn't HATE all Democrats.

(34,375 posts)I'll admit that I lost all faith in my fellow Americans on November 8, 2016, and it's been damn near impossible getting it back. The election in 2018 helped, but there are still millions of brainwashed MAGAts out there. It's scary. And depressing.
