    NGL, I will never ever ever take another conservative serious ever again for the rest of my life. I had so many arguments about how very important the constitution was and how we can’t help people because it would make the founding fathers cry, and here they are, eagerly dumpstering the constitution, clapping and cheering as it burns.

      This is my takeaway post trump: I’m absolutely done attempting to help conservatives grow up or develop empathy or self-awareness, easier to do that with children, and it will make more difference. Arguing with them or engaging in this fake debate bullshit they love is worse than pointless, it’s trolling. If you make a good point they will edit the video to make you look foolish, they will absorb zero moral lessons, they will process zero of your actual arguments, worse, they have zero moral hangups pursuant to their ends, so they will resort to tactics reasonable adults wouldn’t even consider. I will never have another serious, invested political conversation with someone who voted Chump in my lifetime, I just, sadly, don’t take them seriously anymore, much like the POS himself. I really, really tried to see if I could put even a little sense in my closest circle of trump voters after November, at great emotional and interpersonal expense, and, more than ineffective, it actually brought me a substantial amount of resentment for people I still love, and once held a great deal of respect for.

        What sucks is how many of them are our ailing parents, likely not to live another decade, and now we gotta look like bad guys for caring more about all of society than just ourselves. I don’t know how I’ll ever be able to forgive them for the world they have saddled us with.

        Happy Mothers Day!

      It was a huge revelation to me ~10 years ago that words literarily don’t mean anything to them at all, they’re just noises they make to get what they want.

      You might as well be arguing with chatgpt.

    I mean, come on… Even MAGA people have to see a chart like that and laugh at the obvious bullshit. Right? RIGHT??

    Hey I got this email in my inbox figured I’d try to fill it out

    It required a donation to submit the survey. The data presented here is worth less than the paper it’s printed on, and it’s displayed on a fucking LCD

    Maybe these are the only ones his handlers allow him to see, since he has items about himself brought to him?
