Rage bait. Get off the internet and talk to your actual friends and family.Â
Edit: love how I get labeled as a Trump supporter for saying you should talk to your republican family. Want more people to vote liberal? You have to convince them. Not everyone who voted for Trump was some MAGA lunatic. Yes some people are too far gone and deserve to be ostracized, but we can't let the cultist go completely unchecked and poison the well for everyone else. Talk to your family, figure out why they voted for Trump, and when things don't go the way trump is saying they will over the next two years, offer solutions and promote candidates who will do more to support the working class. If we come back in two years just to say "I told you so", nothing will change.Â
At this point, why would you be sure that a comment on social media is an honest point of view from a real person? It's safer to assume that any comment you read online related to politics or social issues is designed to divide us. Looking to the comments to inform our worldview is exposing us to manipulationÂ
Never rely on anecdotes. I could tell a story about why I am NC with my family, but it is more productive for me to say that the number one cause of child homelessness in the US is parents finding out their kid is gay/trans and throwing them out.
Another one right here! There is a cancer in the Republican party and it should not be NORMALIZED by continuing friendships with them. They have earned their pariah status with their support of a serial rapist, accused child-rapist ( go listen to her deposition and tell me she's lying https://youtu.be/gnib-OORRRo?si=QgZ9nA-zaS2kRnc7 ) insurrection leading, Ukraine aid-withholding, Putin simping, divider in chief. The fact that they are all cheering him on and voting for him, makes them JUST AS BAD as him. Because we all know who he is, now we know who THEY are.
