this is a long awakening I've been biding my time for. I encouraged Epstein discourse amongst my MAGA family, bought my dad a "Epstein Didn't Kill Himself" Christmas Sweater, he got as much into it as I am. I'm really hoping this is what will break their programming

    Is it working so far? People at work still are still wearing the damn hat.

    not a whole lot. throughout the course of this MAGA people have actually created some mental tricks for themselves to detach themselves from reality. picture basically the narcissists prayer. if my Dad finds himself surrounded with enough other maga people who are collectively waking up, he will too. but whenever something like this happens, which it has several times, he distances himself from all media to do his praying and reinforce the worldview.

    cards on the table, he's probably going to throw away the sweater I bought him 😔 in a month he'll be back to celebrating how great Trump has been for his retirement fund (he hasn't)

    I've been seeing that a lot, especially on posts about Stephen King saying that the Epstein List isn't real. Really fun to watch people try to defend actual pedo stuff with "You just don't understand the context!"

    The die hards don’t care as long as he’s doing racism.

  • The weaker and more stupid people are, the harder they have it owning up to their own shortcomings... but that's already assuming that underneath all of this, their humanity is still intact. Even if the average Republican could understand they were all conned because they're dumb and everything (the entire American populace and since forever but one step at a time), would they take it in humility and as a lesson instead of doubling down yet again? And if they did, would they then do their part to heal their nation and the world? Do they have it in them? Is it in the cultural characteristics of the Anglo Saxon man?! 🤷 The imperialistic liberals never have and they're the 'smart' and 'soft' Americans! 😂 I wouldn't bet a dollar on it.
