    I know it’s not an excuse, but I doubt they all know and knowingly support all of this. There’s plenty of people utterly un- or misinformed about what’s going on in the world or inside the US. There was this video recently where they interviewed beach-goers about the Iran war. They barely even knew what a war or Iran was.

        Because you can’t dismiss 30% of a population. They need to at least partially be taken along, just because they’re too many to just declare war on.

        Let’s declare war on a more manageable percentage and definitely without compromising core values. So we gotta pierce the bubble of the misinformed, but defeat the ones who misinform out of malice and self interest.

      I know the video you’re talking about.

      I doubt a bunch of random fuck beach going horny frat bros are the best metric for measuring gauging the degeneracy and malice of the average right winger.

      We’ve far exceeded the point where MAGA ignorance and MAGA malice have converged, and are one in the same. Behind them is a river of blood that only grows.

      And when confronted with reality, invariably they will choose to reject reality, rather than come to terms with their actions. They are all simply evil, ignorance or intention be damned.
