I know it's a shit post but shitting on one voter group is not how you get them to change their vote

    and coddling maga voters is the fastest way to lose my vote.

    most of them are old, it's easier to let them perish with than changing their black hearts

    seriously. no compromise with the fasch.

    there are rural non-fasch. nobody's saying to disregard them. we can keep dog fuckers in the FBI and there's no reason to make blowing shit up in the desert illegal. but do nothing FOR the fasch, or I am your enemy.

    and if you really want the fasch's respect, you'll get it by making your enemies suffer. if they aren't your enemy, I am.

    Eh... I don't go this far.

    If someone wants to put efforts into rehabilitating fascists (Thinking of Daryl Davis as an obvious example) that's their prerogative and its a net good.

    I just personally will not put in a single iota of effort into helping them rehabilitate. Its just not something I give a fuck about.

    the bannons and musks need to be made examples of.

    for the everyday Nazi bitch who isn't even upbon his Klan dues and mostly posts racist names to Facebook? we owe them nothing. their lives are forfeit. maybe we find it more rewarding to rehabilitate them. maybe we find it more rewarding to hunt them for sport. their wishes should not be a concern and I take offense at you suggesting otherwise.

    for the everyday Nazi bitch who isn’t even upbon his Klan dues and mostly posts racist names to Facebook? we owe them nothing.

    I mean, sure.

    their lives are forfeit. maybe we find it more rewarding to rehabilitate them. maybe we find it more rewarding to hunt them for sport.

    Have at it in either case.

    their wishes should not be a concern and I take offense at you suggesting otherwise.

    I wasn't suggesting that? Are you sure your read and understood my comment? It really just seems like you want to start bickering over nothing.

    I said that if someone wants to rehabilitate them, I say let them spend their time and energy doing that.

    Obviously MAGA idiots haven't been shit on enough. We need to point and laugh at them more to signal it's uncool to be one. Fascists are the one minority I want to stuff back into the closet.

    It is though, actually.

    First off, reactionaries only respect strength. They perceive kindness and compromise as weakness, and reason as condescension. They'll more likely respect you if you stand up to them directly. It's an odd quirk of psychology, but it's a real phenomenon. Also, some of them are just fighty, and if siding with the left means you have to be polite and passive, that can be a bigger ask than just getting them to change sides and directing it at the right people.

    Second, the hardcore reactionaries, the ones who believe shit like what this post is mocking, are mostly unreachable. The important thing is for the people who aren't so deep into it to not get attracted to it or think of those things as reasonable concerns. Mocking those concerns and pointing out how cringe and weird they are is good for that.

    Honestly, it just comes down to normalization. The norm should be to laugh at shit like that, to push it to the fringe, not to respect it and act like it deserves a place in society.

    Pretty much no one changes their mind online, especially when you're talking about cult shit like maga is. They need a personal connection to have any hope of changing, so making fun of them on the internet won't change anything anyway.
