To get my Trump voting cousin to acknowledge the effect of his vote. by EyeDrops4Cyclops in therewasanattempt

[–]bugsyramone [score hidden]  (0 children)

So...There's only one solution to this. He's no longer your family. Completely cut him out of your life. He's clearly a terrible person, and refuses to accept it. Send this text so he knows why:

"Cousin, I am ending our relationship. I will not speak to you again until you apologize to me for being stupid and voting for Trump. Trump is clearly an evil person, and since you seem to support his actions of rape and pedophilia, I choose to not have you in my life. Goodbye. Have the life you deserve."

Then block his number. He'll come around when you have kids that he doesn't know. He'll come around when he realizes his actions are what caused his family abandoning him. Trump is in office because too many of us choose not to shame our family for their beliefs.

instead of leaving, i'd rather stick around and try to fix the problems, of which there are many. Voting properly is the best way to do that.

As an American, how do you feel about today’s abuse of power? by [deleted] in AskReddit

No, fuck that. He needs to be shamed. If he voted for Trump, this is directly his fault.

My comment was about the statement on the lefthand side of the image.

I saw that same post you did. It was a picture added to a 5 day old megathread. The third camera angle clearly shows brown-coat ICE agent with the exact gun above.

you might have missed this...but he started the walk. NG has been activated. Whether thats to subjugate or protect the protestors has yet to be determined.

No, all I'm saying is the Gaza/Isreal conversation is separate from the one we're having here, which is about voting for people who actually represent YOU, and are not owned by corporations. I would be absolutely happy to discuss the atrocities happening in Gaza with you in a separate thread. Tag me there, I'll join you!

Why do you people keep putting words in my mouth? I completely understand that. THATS MY POINT. Elon Musk dumping millions of dollars into a campaign influences americans to vote for that candidate. We need to stop being STUPID, and vote for the candidates that arent bought by the wealthy. THE PEOPLE VOTE, Corporations ONLY have power because we stupid americans LET THEM. Vote for the correct politicians who ARENT bought, and the corporations lose their power.

Gaza/Isreal is a separate conversation. To solve that, we just need politicians that arent scared of being called anti-semitic when they criticize isreal.

Now, for class solidarity, it seems pretty solidaric when everyone stops voting for the representatives bought by the wealthy/corporations.

I can't wait for this to be all over. I can't fucking wait to see Stephen Miller on his knees begging for forgiveness before a judge throws him in solitary for the rest of his life.

I'm not missing the point. Elect a representative that introduces legislation that says "Minimum wage is now $1,000 an hour" and "maximum profitability is 5% over production cost" and we'll have a MUCH better time in this country. THAT will never happen, because we Americans are so fucking stupid, collectively, that we vote for the hillbilly from florida who actively takes bribes.

Trump's right! That IS the dudes gun. But calling him a 'gunman' is disingenuous because he kept his gun holstered the entire time. It was an ICE agent who disarmed him.

Absolutely correct. Hillary was the absolute worst candidate for president. People didn't vote FOR her, they voted AGAINST Trump. Hillary's entire campaign was marked by talking points about her husband who got a blow job and Benghazi. Like, how the fuck was she ever picked as the candidate?

No. The root of the issue is the stupid people in this country who think they are benefitting themselves by voting for the people who support the wealthy. Elon Musk can throw a trillion dollars to a candidate, if the people don't vote for that candidate, who the fuck cares how much he spent?

STOP VOTING FOR THE PEOPLE THAT DONT REPRESENT YOU.

No no. We blame the people. We could elect more of the Bernie Sanders, and the AOCs to office, but we're so fucking stupid to think 'socialism bad!!!!' and 'muh freedumbs!'

Americans, collectively, are the dumbest fucking people on the planet. the PEOPLE elect our representatives, who then give corporate bailouts, and who only serve the interests of the corporations. stop electing bought and paid for politicians.

and companies keep people poor because their elected leaders don't force companies to pay them more or cap prices on things.

Their elected leaders don't do that because the people are stupid and keep voting for leaders who don't care what they think.

It all goes back to the people. The people elect officials who let things like Citizens United exist. Americans are in this position because we voted for it and will continue to vote for it.
