    A hardcore maga coworker told me that “if” it’s proven that Trump “was” in the Epstein files he will still vote for him because I’m his own words “I would rather vote for a pedophile than an honest democrat.”

        Sad thing is he has 2 sons and they are also hardcore maga too. His oldest son has a toddler and he’s said he’s gonna raise his the right way in that to be conservative.

          Ask him what specific conservative policies he supports. Don’t even push back at first, just make him try and articulate what principles he even believes in that aren’t in opposition to something. Like ask “if all the liberals vanished in an instant, what do you and your side believe in and want?”

          So many of these people are so wrapped up in fighting boogymen they just truly haven’t even realized how hollow the cart they’ve attached their horse to is

      both sides of your pedo-uniparty are sick cultists. the same blind fanaticism where they choose not to see the evil of their own side in the face of obviousness.
      this ‘comic’ is a great example.
      Whatever the other side does or says is bad.
      If they said the sun comes up in the east they would deny it.

        Lol. Lmao, even.

        “I’m okay with fucking kids. I’m okay with law enforcement murdering citizens in the streets. I’m okay with taking rights away from trans people. I’m okay with bombing children on the other side of the world”

        “I want everyone to have affordable healthcare, education, and to be free to live their life”

          I’m okay with law enforcement murdering citizens in the streets

          That’s literally the only difference.
          And ‘citizens’, AKA yourselves is all you selfish cultists care about.
          Genocide Joe, besides actively aiding in genocide also put plenty kids in jail and many non citizens died under his regime while in ICE custody.
          He deported a lot more than Trump too.
          Of course blue magats didn’t care about any of that until they started bothering YOU and killed 2 white americans.
          You know their names and made a big fuss about it, the Mexicans, Vietnamese,etc… murdered before didn’t matter much.

          taking rights away from trans, affordable healthcare, education…

          You literally did the meme

          Sure Trump is worse for americunts , to the rest of the world continuously suffering from your warmongering and imperialism it makes no difference.
          On the contrary, I hope he does his worst, makes you suffer and runs your shithole into the ground.
          You fully deserve it.

      I always point to the Alabama Senate election between Roy Moore and Doug Jones. Roy Moore, known pedophile, vs. normal Democrat. Far too many conservatives went on record saying “better than a Democrat”.

      They are so anti-pedophile until suddenly they’re not. What a disgusting thing to change your opinion on, person to person.

        No they pearl clutch and love America and the democracy it has. But they have been taught that Democrats/Liberals are horrible, disgusting people. It’s a knee jerk reaction at this point. My brother, who is hardcore maga, said “no I don’t think they are talking about you. You aren’t a ‘liberal’”. Like he was saving me from a terrible slur. And I had to nicely tell him that I am, in fact, liberal.

        It kind of feels like the hatred against “the gays” in the 90s. They need someone to hate and right now it’s the Democrats and liberals, and I guess everyone else the media has told them to hate (lgbtq, trans, etc).

            It’s a 1 party system.
            No matter what side of it, it supports the genocider state, multinationals, bombing brown people and terrorizing the rest of the world.
