I’m a Republican and THIS type of RHETORIC is Why this Country is So DIVISIVE! WHY can’t you Just Treat us like PEOPLE? GOSH! SO WHAT if I want Trans and Gay Kids to be Slaughtered like Sheep while Blue States literally BURN? YOU need to STOP being so DIVISIVE!
You forgot “I used to be a liberal until radical leftists started putting people up against the wall for mistakenly using the wrong pronouns. So really, it’s your fault that I changed my screen name to 14Pepe88, changed all my opinions about vaccines, want to abolish the income tax, and am now okay with concentration camps at Gitmo. So, like, now I’m a full-blown centrist, and you have only the Marxists to blame.”
Oh god this was good, it nearly got me. Flawlessly executed. The wanton capitalization is just. Perfect.

I felt my blood pressure rising as I read this
Perfect satire!
Every fuck time there is a Republican president they claim he is sent from God. A new Messiah and anyone who doesn’t pray to him isn’t a real Christian.
It’s manipulation and using Christianity as a weapon for political gain. Only the weak willed ones fall for that.
This is why I laugh when anyone claims that church and government is separate in America. You literally swear on the Bible before taking office. Honestly, to me, America has always had a similar air of religious fundamentalism as some middle eastern countries. I have always seen them as extreme af. The whole abortion debacle is totally about religious values and religious control. No one can convince me otherwise.

Haha and even more ironic here is that trump skipped this step this time and nobody said a word.
Only the weak willed ones fall for that.
So, half the voting population.
Also, there has to be something else because I wouldn’t consider myself strong-willed but I’d never fall for this sort of kneejerk rhetoric leading straight to kneejerk voting.
Half of the voting population? Where’d you get that from?
I mean yeah.
If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you.
LBJ was taking about race but the quote “give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you” applies pretty much universally to a third of the population, maybe more. Probably more.

Of course. Does their voter base strike you as people who give two shits about their own well being?
They run on spite. They don’t want to win- they just want you to lose. And they’ll pretend to believe whatever might have to be true to make them feel like you have.
Sorry but his voter base strikes me as people who only care about their own well being and they always flip their shit when the wrong people get burnt.
It seems to be necessary that they both be personally affected, and recognize that, for them to start caring.
That depends what you mean by “well being”. Tons of MAGA folk have voted for Republicans who are cutting the social services they depend on. Clearly that is self destructive, and they know it. Rural hospitals, food stamps, national pension, etc.
That is to say, your comment doesn’t line up with reality. There must be something more going on in their heads.
Sure, if “caring about their own well-being” = “maintaining their very fragile shitty worldview and trying to hide their pants-wetting cowardice about anything unfamiliar,” sure.
They already have.
For the cult? Yes. 100% and they will never come around. There were people in the concentration camps (single digit not trying to rewrite history, this is all according to eye whiteness accounts of soldiers that freed the camps) who were still 100% dedicated to nazism and Hitler.
Interesting do you have a source for this? I would like to learn more about the history. If not that’s ok I can try to search for it.
Not a direct answer, but the nazis created hierarchies inside the camps:
It stands to reason that some of the prisoners thought they were better than the Jews.
It takes much longer to fall out of love than the other way around.
The good news is that the magas cherry pick what lies they want to believe. And they’ll wholeheartedly believe when he says it wasn’t his dumb economic policy but [insert scapegoat here] that increased the price of eggs twentyfold.
A gifted politician will find a way to give these people an out that doesn’t require them to admit they ran behind the wrong fasces, but somehow reinstalls stability in DC. If you can’t cut a path like that all they can do is double down because sure as hellfire they won’t admit he was, or indeed they were, the problem.
