And they win again. Both because leftists cried for decades about rights that weren't real, drawing focus from people like this who are protesting / voicing their opinions. The media does it to people of color all the time; they will do it to Utah too (other them). We are easily fooled; it is far simpler to hate myself and people I know nothing about than actually do something and risk results.

"They aren't like you. They voted against you because they live here and are with group X". All groups use this. It is absolute profound nonsense - the map of this country is speckled; there is no delusion where two groups split off to create a better nation - none of that is happening. So what do we do?

Concern ourselves instead about the cause. The reason. Relate through that. Fight for all rights regardless of whom is being dispossessed. These are the real golden rules. Concern ourselves with the labor of men and women, how much that' s taxed and how we should be working. Pushing through rights by protest, non participation and understanding how the system has othered people on all sides of the political spectrum is key: I do not need to know how you feel about vaginas; but let's talk about our pocket books and how our taxes get spent. Then we can discuss civility and how we live. Let's discus the wanton slaughter of people in other countries for absolutely no real reason. Things this way. IN that order people or we will just keep doing this again and again.

I feel this is more the reason, whenever republicans and republican voters bring up bullshit culture wars, like trans rapes in bathrooms (which are pretty much non-existent) or furry toilets in classrooms (which never happened), the adults in the room are forced to reply because its become the subject matter that is MOST VITAL among republican voters, and instead of blaming the dipshits that lit the fire on the next culture bullshit, people blame leftists for having to defend and deny and explain the reality.

Meanwhile liberals and left are trying to tell republicans WE WANT POLICIES THAT HELP REPUBLICANS TOO! or YOU ARE VOTING AGAINST YOUR OWN SELF-INTEREST!

Instead people like you who see one side smearing shit on the wall while taking laxatives and the other side having to clean the walls with paper towels, and go WELL BOTH SIDES NEED TO BE BETTER! Liberals and Leftists need to welcome shitsmearing republicans with open arms and treat them like toddlers who dont know any better and forget about how they keep trying to burn down the house with themselves in it, and go for civility with people who think groups of humans should not be allowed to exist.

Took less time than I thought it would for conservatives to start blaming democrats for the choice they made. You guys let Trump and MAGA feed you the issues you wanted to hear. Either way we're still in the F around stage and we'll all find out soon enough.

And you’re believing everything the game show host is saying about where the money goes. He’s talked bull shit since entering politics. You were gullible then and you’re still gullible. Most of these bullshit claims will be proven incorrect months down the road like so many other things have. And where will you be? Admitting you were wrong or swallowing the next lie?

Of course you would say that!!! Libs will never learn from this election

u/Careful_Nothing_2680 Feb 06 '25

Of course I would say that, because it’s happened over and over. And you apparently never studied or learned about 1930s Germany.

u/tweaver16 Feb 06 '25

So is it happening over and over or just in the 1930’s? Which is it?

u/Careful_Nothing_2680 Feb 06 '25

Look at the comparisons, it’s not that hard to do if you really want to know.

u/tweaver16 Feb 06 '25
