It is kind of baffling to me that many don’t seem to have an analysis/understanding of maga beyond “stupidity and racism”.
Of course that’s a big part, but by itself, it’s only scratching the surface?
And you don’t have sympathy for Trump voters turning cloak? Seriously? I hope you can at least pretend because you aren’t getting out of this mess without working with people like that. Else you might as well give up now.
Trump didn’t brainwash people more than Hitler did. Both catered to a selfish, bigoted, entitled worldview and promised people they could act on their worst impulses towards others and that while doing so their lives would improve. They delivered on the first part but their regimes do nothing for improving the quality of life. “Trump’s a con man” is not the same as reflecting on one’s own worldview, taking accountability for what they’ve enabled, and putting in the effort to fix what you can while making sure you don’t go down the same path again when the next huckster runs for office. These people were motivated by blaming anyone else for their “problems”. They blamed immigrants, women, people of color, liberals, antifa, queer folk. Nothing has changed, they’re just blaming Trump and not themselves. Until that attitude changes, fuck ‘em.
Maybe if he said anything about the racism or sexism being bad instead of just the lying and corruption. Or maybe it’s time for the dumbest people on the planet to learn from the people who saw it coming instead of us always being told to listen to them.
If he wants to start making amends he can be the one that goes and explains it to the rest of the cult. I barely like talking to people who do agree with me, never mind some maga devotee.

They want me to not exist. I’m not fucking working with anybody that believes that. They can rot in hell

Lock the gate on the way back in we don’t want any more of you fuckers getting out.
“We were trying to tell you for the last decade that it was a cult. How about you try listening for a few minutes?”
Good point. Fuck learning about why it took so long, fuck trying to deprogram them, get your moment of “told you so”.
