    Oopsie poopsie, the shit I’ve been shoveling onto my neighbor’s yard has overflowed onto mine. I can’t believe my shit-covered hands would do this to me.

          No, you’re not. In fact when you actually engage with them smartly, a lot really do lean socialist. They just don’t realize it because for some strange reason, progressives and leftist decided to abandon channels of communication and to hide away entirely telling each other to block anyone that looked at them funny.

          The harsh reality that a lot of you have to face is that they may actually be smarter than the progressive left. They had a higher social awareness and they all knew the rules of the game and played well. We failed to fucking show up time and time again. When we did, it was the most useless fucking bullshit.

          We are not what we once were. Go look around this place. Go read comment sections and try to find good insightful commentary that adds to the discussing. It’s all bullshit. It is all just repeating the same bullshit over and over again every post every day. Nothing is being created here.

    Blue collar white voters are apparently the stupidest morons to ever idiot. This shit was clear to anyone above a 5th grade reading level a decade ago.

          So the average reader has no critical thought or perspective but rather focuses on the emotion they feel on what was said. No wonder the FOX crowd is so easily swayed by angry actors presenting their case with the same few trigger words on loop.

            You say that like you’re smarter then that. Or like your apart of a group that is better than that. But you’re not. Like it’s 15 years into this shit and you’re comment sounds like you’re just realizing this. Wait until you find out they’re also aware of this and not only do they use it to their benefit, you’ll find the group your in is totally ignorant to this. You’re being astonished at a bard playing music to rally his group while you’re in a group with bards that think music is stupid.

            You’re on fucking lemmy after they convinced everybody here to leave social media. Wake up

            Look around. We are herded into the most uncreative communities meant to stifle momentum. This community is for posting only news articles from certain sites and only about a certain topic. This other community is for memes, but only memes about Y. For YZ memes we have YZ meme community. Don’t even think about posting YZ memes in Y that’s a ban. This other community is for posting about beans.

            But they’re the fucking stupid ones

            Moderated right into our pens

              Like you said it’s a community thing. There’s a spectrum of acceptable behavior inside each one. I simply choose the one with the widest band possible at the end of my political preference. I still venture out into the tankie and hard R conservative crowd on occasion to keep perspective on the bigger picture though.

              We’re not immune to propaganda but it’s easier to see the overlapping issues we all face and care about but end up being divided on how to solve it based on our personal and political leanings.

        not as a matter of disbelief, but statements like this are good to accompany with a source.

      I’m a union construction worker and I’m back in college to escape this blue collar magat infested industry. These dudes are handed a six figure job right out of high school through nepotism and these unions are run like white supremisist gangs. It’s horrible they’re so fucking stupid 90% are cult level pro MAGA turds and it’s the unions fault because that’s the culture they’ve fostered because anyone who stands up to the systemic abuse and discrimination gets blackballed.

      As someone who works around a lot of white blue-collar workers, yes they really are the dumbest most pig headed idiots you will ever find. No amount of evidence, financial pain, or debate will change their stupid, shrivled, idiot minds.

          Politically related I work with a 23 yo self proclaimed “christian nationalist, ultra capitalist” who believes every single rightwing conspiracy and and talking point. He also constantly complains about how he’s not paid enough but also that the centi-millionaire inherited owner of the company works hard enough to earn all his money despite playing golf 4 day a week.

          In terms of good old fashioned stupid, I once saw an operator disable the guardingnon a machine, proceed to lose a finger to said machine. Then after being given a second chance less than a week back on the job decided it was a good idea to disable the same guarding again. Luckily he got fired before he had a chance to lose any more digits.

    They vote republican cause they fear what they percieve democrats being, through the lens of fox propaganda. Trump could personally fk their asses. They still fear democrats and would vote to hider a democrat victory.

      The Fox shit kept working because eveytime republicans win they fuck up the economy and then to fix it the democrats need to spend to stop the bleeding, but they never tax the rich. It always lands on the blue collar guys.

    I still hear “I voted for Trump three times, but…” on a regular basis. Trump voters by-and-large aren’t repentant and they don’t give the appearance of the cognitive capacity necessary for “doubting”. That would imply reconsideration based on available facts. What they are doing now would be better described as “musing idly about the specific self-serving details of”.

      It’s fear of being exposed. Their os is run by their ego. They don’t have the ability to reflect because they don’t accept themselves.

        Oh they accept themselves. They just can’t except that others are not excepting them. It wasn’t a problem until Lord Feltersnatch told them that it was ok to be an asshole and they ran with that! Now they’re finding out that their willful ignorance is starting to cost them big time when it was just supposed to hurt the poor inner city communities.

      I highly doubt they’ve come around. They’re not really known for introspection, like even when it’s actively destroying thei lives.
