    By “acting normal” i literally mean speaking plainly about everyday issues like the fascist takeover of our country, giant child sex trafficking coverups, abuse of military, etc. instead of pretending this is just “politics” and so we need to censor ourselves to avoid offending Trump supporters. They certainly don’t.

    I’m not suggesting “dunking” on any Trump supporters in the group, but they will likely take it that way, and if they can’t maintain adult discussions about it they will run from the truth just like most of the MAGA supporters who still haven’t gotten a clue after 8 years of this. If they don’t though, maybe they aren’t so hopeless.

    I don’t hate Trump supporters in general, but boy did they fuck this one up… If they feel bad when someone points that out i really don’t care

      I agree with you completely. I’m not saying you have to avoid offending Trump supporters, if you speak the truth they are going to get angry.

      I’m saying make sure you’re directing your anger at the people who are poisoning their information so that they live in an alternate reality.

      Oh yes, the damage caused by people lacking media literacy and a basic education has been immense.

      But, you don’t get mad at the sheep who are shitting in your yard, you get mad at the shepherds who pushed them there.

      People trying to stir up intra-class conflict are part of the problem.
