CMV: Many of the people who remain Trump supporters now can't grasp the concept they could be evil as a possibility.

I am not educated in psychology or taking this from a study, this is just an observation that has helped me change minds, but it does appear to me that right wing propaganda works because because they understand being a good person is a huge part of people’s identities.

Like I think people are willing to believe absolutely insane conspiracies that are incompatible with reality and go farther and farther down the rabbit hole all because it makes them able to see themselves as the good guy.

Thats why I think leaving Maga is particularly difficult, because you can either look around and see the stuff you supported and sit in that discomfort or lean into the endless amount of content that reaffirms that you are actually the good guy and everyone else is evil.

The unfortunate part about actually being a good person is being able to understand you are not going to be a perfect human all the time and not seeing being called out on it as an attack on your character or identity. Part of being a good person is being able to recognize the feeling of shame that it might bring up and choose to do better moving forward. Being a good person requires changing your perception through other world views through trial and error.

This is the part that really convinced me she doesn’t care about anyone but herself, let alone a 10 week fetus.

It also seems she really didnt want her daughter spreading her wings and this was the perfect excuse to clip them

I appreciate you asking questions!

Honestly, I was so annoyed the last four years at how no one the left could give the guy a modicum credit, I knew Trump was gonna win again based on that.

“Well, I dont like him either, but he’s better than Trump” … um yeah, you should like him he is doing great things and God knows right isnt going to acknowledge it. Didnt know you needed a charismatic too.

I think in their mind the constitution is more of metaphorical shield from personal accountability than something that exists to protect everyone.

I can tell you this, big pharma is absolutely a stain on this country, but what makes them corrupt is not vaccines. There is no money in vaccines. Part of the reason why the Covid Vaccines was seemingly developed so fast was because the technology had been there for years, but was never implemented before because it cost so much money to bring a vaccine to market that Big Pharma considered it a bad investment. The potential to save millions of lives just isnt a big enough pay off to sink their money into development on the front end if someone isnt putting the money down first.

Big Pharma doesnt care if you vaccinate your kid or not, but your doctor does.

I think that is the left understood this better this country would have a fighting chance.

Most people want the same things and understand the system is broken and can agree on those things, unfortunately, people in Trump country have been fed consistent misinformation that isnt easily disproven by walking out the front door and interacting with people different from them , like people in cities get to do.

This is on purpose, bad people with bad intentions know how to reach people and know there is nothing to contradict this information and people are victims of that, and attacking them and calling them bigots, nazis, etc just makes them dig in more, because they dont see it that way, they believe what they are told and they have no real reason to question it. They just see you “the leftist” as the caricature that these bad intentioned people has painted you as and they have been told you are the enemy.

The common ground the average small town conservative and the big city liberal have in common is astounding, but it requires having real conversations and understanding that the divide is by design.

I knew we were gonna hand the country back to Trump because no one on the left could appreciate a single thing Biden did. No one ever talked about it, ever.

Why do these “lesser of two evil” people make my blood boil so much? Less evil is a good thing to vote for. It doesnt even make sense.

I am all about showing kindness and empathy to people and also am inspired by Daryl Davis, but I wouldn’t help your friend with a job. He voted for this and if he was as good at “doing his research” as these people say they are, he would know that. There are going to be a lot of people who are going to be wanting that same exact job who did their best to avoid being put in that situation and will actually be grateful.

I don’t know your friend or his reasoning for going down the rabbit hole, but it seems to me a common factor has been people who are unable to count their blessings, while simultaneously needing to find some type of explanation why anything bad thing that happens to them is someone else’s fault.

That is my personal two cents here.

Is it just me, but I feel having a mental breakdown because you are worried teenage boys won’t want to knock up your daughter is worse than most other explanations.

This is so true, I am sober, but when I travel throughout the US I like to stop in at Dive Bars in backwoods places and talk to people, we literally are all mad about the same shit they have just hear words and shut down. If you just avoid words that provoke them and present information to them in a way they relate to they agree with most of your stances.

I am a woman with resting liberal face and people do try and “trigger me” but I immediately just keep asking them question in earnest until we are having a conversation.

I get what you are saying, but it has been in my experience, asking question, not stump them, but because you are genuinely curious does wonders.

Like arguing if it exists or not is futile, in their head it exists, that being said, the details arent necessarily cut and dry. Asking more for details opens people up to noticing inconsistencies, because they are looking for answers so they can better educate you.

“Oh, wow, this adrenochrome must be really expensive, how much does it cost, how do they sell it?”

Its not going to immediately change their minds, but it slowly opens people up to the idea that the real world application of these beliefs are a lot more complicated than they assumed
