Progressive Politics

If FOX or The Donald doesn't tell them they're despised, how would they ever know? They are not reading Jezebel.

I especially disagree with the assertion that Trump supporters are only “idiots.”

I’ve seen extremely intelligent, post-college-educated people support him, full throated. Ones who’ve never even touched Facebook, nor Twitter.

January 6, all the controversies, they’re just alarmist noise because that’s their whole information environment. They’ve turned into climate change skeptics for similar reasons, despite being atheists/agnostics with a strong belief in science.

Hence, I think the joke is on the writer of this piece, sadly.

Information bubbles work.

This isn’t going to end. Were cooked.

Our future is similar to VR addicts in cyberpunk fiction. History and reality do not matter. It won’t be for Trump, but enough of the population will get drip fed praise for regimes that they will stay in power :(

It's too bad mass discontent has no influence on the actions of our government.

To be fair, a non zero number of MAGA voters despise anything they are told to despise. So they are just getting back what they deliver on cue from the media they digest.

Not just Trump supporters. Republicans, Christians, Lying Centrists.

Last year we hosted a holiday dinner and included a neighborhood couple we had never met. Within minutes it became apparent we had invited a Magat POS. He actually exceeded expectations, bringing up Trump time and again and ignoring the fact we kept changing the subject. It took one of us openly ridiculing Trump to get him to finally shut the fuck up. It was only because we didn't want to make other people there uncomfortable that he wasn't out the door on his ass.

His wife (not Maga) has since approached us asking to get together and we've politely declined. No need to tell her we'd rather have triple servings of Taco Bell lettuce during a root canal than to ever spend a minute in her husband's miserable presence again.
