      Because you keep conceeding to idiot racists and petty narcissist tyrants who don’t even believe in democracy whom you will never be able to meaningfully convince of anything anyway.

      I’m from these dumb fuck regressives.

      I know what I’m talking about.

      You speak to them with insults, violence and threats, just barely polite enough to not immediately incite them to assault you on the spot, otherwise, they do not listen.

      We keep losing because the 1/3rd of this country that the entire political system is rigged to over represent will always default to being dumbfuck greedy idiots.

      You can’t convince them of anything consciously because they are the world grand masters at cognitive dissonance and delusion. They are too stupid to formulate a coherent worldview, you will not be able to change their worldview without making their lizard brain activate.

      You can spend 10x the effort of explaining things to them like theyre a baby, it’ll stick for a day, then they’ll hear a shiboleth style conservative ‘joke’, a cultic thought stopping cliche, and that understanding you imparted them with immediately evaporates.

      I repeat, they are literally too stupid to actually have a coherent worldview.

      The Republicans know this.

      Its why they consistently do racist/socialist/lqbtq scaremongering, and it consistently works.

      They literally have enlarged amygdalas, the fear processing center of the brain.

      They literally only truly understand fear.

        I want to disagree with this but I can’t. Conservatives genuinely react so well to being bullied and talked down to. It’s apparently what they want 🤷

          Trust me I wish I was wrong.

          Tried for 2 decades to do the reasoning thing.

          It doesn’t matter, it doesn’t work.

          They don’t argue in good faith, because most of them literally are not capable of arguing in good faith.

          You make them your bitch, and force or trick them to realize your way is better for both you and them.

            Yeah…it’s sad but if you want results, you have to play the “who has the bigger peepee” game.

        You can dislike them all you want but, like it or not, they get to vote the same as you. You can choose to be angry or you can meet them where they’re at and have a chance to inspire the change you want to see. Your choice

          I’ll meet them where they’re at and tell them they’re a fucking moron.

          I also don’t get to vote, because of them, so maybe stop pretending this is a fair fight.

        There’s a difference between capitulation and talking to them using language they understand.

        I’m as ready to go nuclear as you are, but until most others see it that way, this is where we’re at.

          Most others do see it this way.

          They just got you convinced you’re outnumbered.

          You’re not.

          They just own the media, the social media, and only ever get better and better at determining who does and doesn’t get to vote.

          No point in conceeding shit to bullies, they’ll just keep bullying you.
