Yeah argue with one long enough and they basically just admit they don't care what happens what they love is "owning the libs" the more facts you show them that they can not respond to the more they think they are pissing you off and the more they get their rocks off. 100% they could not care less about any of the things they claim to revere, like the Constitution. Literally the only thing that makes them change their mind is when they realize the policies they voted for apply to them too.

One of my friends adult daughter is fully disabled mentally and physically and my friend can not even work the state pays her to be a caregiver for her child. They100% lives on state support programs. She voted for Trump, I told her before hand she is shooting everyone in the foot and shooting herself in the face with that vote,. She said she disagreed and things will get better for her that she is tired of liberals and "their immigrants" (???) taking part of the tax money that should be going to her and others like her. I was completely dumbfounded. I told her that is completely fabricated BS from Trump and it does not work that way but she told me I did not know what I was talking about, Trump wouldn't just lie about this stuff... yeah. She said THAT.

Now she is telling me how she is so scared they are going to cut her benefits after all the targeting of Social Security and that she felt so betrayed and she thought there was no way Trump would betray his voters like this and there was no way she could have known Trump would have done something this terrible.... I had to look at her and ask how she could have NOT known when I fucking told her multiple times. She finally realized after I said that that I was right. So she knows and will admit she was wrong now. None of my other friends have been affected yet but having talked to them none of them will change their minds until it hurts them or their family directly. Most of them are good enough friends they even admit that they don't care (or even pay attention to) what Trump does as long as it is pissing off the liberals they are happy. At least the first friend realized she was dumb about politics. She told me from now on she was just going to ask me who to vote for.... she is getting smarter about it at least.

Some people are built different. My dad worked as a pediatric hospice nurse for almost 10 years. Talk about a shitty sad job. Every single patient is a child and every single one of them is GOING to die on your watch. Fuck THAT. I do not know how he did it.

I have been shouting this from the rooftops since I heard what happened. So many people think you have to punish someone if they are proven guilty... not true in the USA. The jury can decide he is not guilty for whatever reason they want. They can prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that he did it and the jury can still let him go. So many people don't know this.

Also a great way to get out of jury duty is to mention this during the selection process, they will boot you 100% of the time if you know this.

‘There were no warning signs’: what happens when your partner falls into the ‘manosphere’?

It is a shortening of "Traditional wife" as in a wife who complies with the old male/female value system. IE the man works and provides for and protects the family while the woman stays at home, cooks, cleans the house, watches the kids, does not talk back to her man because he is the head of the family and runs shit. Her job basically is to make life easier for him and raise his kids.

Because literally all most of those idiots want to do is "own the libs" ANYTHING that pisses off a non MAGAt makes the MAGAts nut in their pants. All the BS justifications are them not wanting to admit it to themselves so they can still consider themselves a good and rational person even when rationality is the furthest thing from the truth. Even when they are directly harmed sometimes they do not see the forest for the trees. Like the dude whose daughter died from the measles who came on TV and said it was not Trumps or RFKs fault and not because he convinced them vaccines are bad. He said the lack of a vaccine had nothing to do with it, it was just terrible bad luck and he does not intend to give his future children any vaccines either. These people have no real reasoning capability and no logic at all. They know that the non MAGAts hate Trump and that is all they need to know. The less they think about it the more it pisses us off and that is the only thing they care about.

Walmart fires 6'4" cisgender woman threatened by man who thought she was trans

Both sides are terrible and terribly similar in all sorts of bad ways. I have hated every President in my lifetime ( back to Reagan) ALL of them have been terrible so most years I would sound like you but Trump is different. He is all the worst qualities of the worst both sides have to offer and then turn it up to 11. I hate Democrats as much as Republicans normally but this piece of warm wet dogshit is on a whole other level. I would vote for any of our past trash Presidents and be happy about it if it meant no more Trump... ever.

Both -parties- ARE equally terrible. They are all in on and define the bullshit system and both are 100% two halves of the same problem.

TRUMP is a different story though. For one thing he is no more a Republican than he is a Democrat he is there to do whatever he thinks is best for him and that is it. He makes any Democrat I have ever seen look amazing in comparison. I generally vote Independent and even swore years ago that I would never vote for a D or R again without some insane change to something and I do still refuse to support either shit ass party in general. Trump is a different story though, he made me vote for a Democrat for the first time in my life. Even the normal terrible D and R bullshit looks amazing when you are watching Trump destroy the country.

Note that there are good politicians who stand out from the actual party on both sides. I would vote for some if they made it to the election just for the fact that they have a cause and a vision to help people and even if I don't like the means it is sure a hell of a lot better than the current state of affairs.
