What is it with rightists and thinking they have the codes to make us suddenly realize the error of our ways and agree with them entirely? Like, they think they have these rhetorical truth bombs they can just drop at a moments notice to un-woke-ify an entire room at once. But those are actually usually dogwhistles or slurs…
I feel like they think the same thing about us. Especially the odd time I try to explain something seemingly basic to them (say, ‘innocent civilians shouldn’t be bombed’ for example.)
And it always falls on deaf ears.
I’m just cutting more and more of them out of my life at this point because their toxicity is so bad it affects my mental and emotional well being.
