Day 4 of scratching out 2025 and writing in 2026.

I recall reading a study showing that Republican voters more easily change their opinions to match what their leaders are saying than Democrats do. I'm not sure what words to Google to find the study now that it's been a few years since it was done, though.

The level of groupthink that conservatives have is unparalleled. They constantly need to be reminded that they are the in group.

Look at all the Trump merch available to show their shibboleth. These people need others in their group to know that they are in their group.

It's why Fox News is so powerful. They get their talking points from there. What Trump hasn't realized yet is that Fox News can turn the tide on him very quickly if he's not careful.

Studies have also shown that conservatives lack empathy. Like literally the empathy center of their brain doesn't activate. It's just not there.

at this point, trump can invade fox news and shoot them all on the spot with no consequences for him.

Nor really, no. They kinda did a little for a short while and rather than abandon Trump, they temporarily abandoned Faux News in favor of Newsmax, OAN, or getting all their news on Facebook and Twitter.

Some have since returned after Faux stopped pretending to be independent of the Mango Mussolini, but the competitors are still MUCH more influential than before, which is a constant reminder to Faux that they have to keep enthusiastically licking his rancid taint or suffer the consequences.

But-but its not a war!

Iiiiiiiit's~ 🎼

🎶 an extra legal expedited extradition elegant

🎶 that demonstrates democracy by way of dosile delegates

🎶 who legislates a better way

🎶 with regulations featherweight

🎶 to get the oil out the ground

🎶 before people can demonstrate

Is that to the tune of the "llama llama duck" song? Cause that's how I read it.

🔔🔔🔔 That is correct!

I would also have accepted Tom Lehrers "The Elements" song - for some reason.

Tell them what he's won, commentors! 🎤

[–] EmpathicVagrant@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

Same tune, the llama song was a parody. I didn’t think about that song for nigh two decades and you’re the second to mention it in a month.

[–] bagsy@lemmy.world 24 points 4 months ago

You can not listen to anything MAGA says. Words mean nothing to them. They have no convictions, and have no quals about lieing or changing their minds hourly.

You can only look at their actions. Ignore thier words.

Don’t let ourselves off, you are all responsible for this shit and you’re all cowards for allowing it to continue. Second amendment my ass.

Sincerely an indigenous person from Central America that you fucked

That thing on the bottom left isn't orange enough.

Trump could tell his supporters that he needs to shit in their mouths to “own the libs” and they would be more then happy to line up with their mouth open like a bunch of baby birds and say “yummy!”

The same could be said for tankies:

Invasion of Ukraine - Corruption, Nazis, NATO expansion

Invasion of Venezuela - International Law, American Imperialism, Trump is Bad

Smoking the reefer

They don't think, most Americans don't understand what the process consists of, they're emotional beasts of spin and propaganda and I see it here daily.

Maga is a pretty clear minority

[–] NotSteve_@piefed.ca 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Where is the clear majority then and what are they doing?

[–] III@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Just because MAGA is a minority doesn't mean not-MAGA works as one...

It's not just MAGA, this is nothing but a recent label for the most sociopathic and sinful of the group.
