(2,206 posts)Every democratic politician at every level should make these points about the Republican party generally...
Did they fix your roads?
Did they......
on and on and on...
Then tell what the Dems have done or proposed to do.

someone please post this in format that is easily copied and pasted?
Dear Ma & Pa MAGA,
donald trump didnt lower your taxes. He didnt get your roads fixed or your bridges built. He didnt get you healthcare coverage, lower the price of your prescriptions, decrease the deficit, end the opioid crisis, revive the coal industry, he didnt make covid disappear, didnt make Mexico pay for the wall, he didnt put America First and he sure as hell didnt drain the swamp.
So when you say he fought for you, you mean he validated your hate.
Because he didnt do a goddamn thing for you other than that.
He hates who you hate.
And sadly, thats all you think you need.
you....

Why do they hate everyone? Many of these people had successful, above average or upscale lives.

(860 posts)Was eat up with right wing crap but sad to say he died with it. We could never carry on a civil conversation. He believed everything Rush spewed. He even went to one of the orange baboons rallies.

(11,767 posts)There really isn't any distinction between today's MAGA and the Dittoheads of the 90's and 2000's. Just a matter of degrees. Trump took off the very thin pseudo intellectual veneer, mainly because he isn't very intellectually adept. He has a carnival barker skill for self promotion but his articulation is among the worst ever in politics. Limbaugh said essentially the same things, but he had a better vocabulary and slightly better skill at crystallizing a point.
When you have and buy into a Conservative mindset, eventually you will arrive at what MAGA type people espouse. Either that, you will withdraw from politics and simply vote and not publicly hold the beliefs, OR, if society is lucky, you will abandon Conservative ideology and be on the correct side of history.
Both left and right CAN lead to authoritarianism, but only the right guarantees it. When the appropriate shape of society is a pyramid, which it is in Conservative and right wing ideologies, you accept promote that some people are "just better than others".

(11,734 posts)Just to keep their hate monger.
The burning consuming hate covers up and protects them from so much emotional turmoil that they'll give up their lives...and some did by dying of COVID...to keep their delusions intact.
It's sad, pathetic, stupid and spiteful.

That went on for a while and ended with "Who is the Jo person? She rocks."

Maybe Ill hold it for a week or so.
Thank you, this is great.
