    There is no waking up.

    They WANT a Christofascist nation. They want it bad enough that they are willing to deal with a born rich felon rapist pedophile who doesn’t care about them to get it.

    To them ALL MEANS JUSTIFY THE END.

    It’s not an issue of waking up. It’s an issue of wanting what they want no matter what. They’ll occasionally whine that they aren’t getting what they want the way they thought they’d get it, but they’re not going to deviate from the path they’ve chosen.

    These are not just confused people. These are BAD people.

    Nah… you get the occasional MAGAt that is brave enough to face their mistakes, but 99% of cases won’t. Their pride and MAGA identity is more important to them than destroying the world around them.

    What?! The crooked conman (who literally embezzled his own children’s charity) doesn’t actually care about the wellbeing of the citizens under his care??

    Seriously, how often does he have to openly and blatantly betray his voterbase before they get the hint that maybe what he’s telling them is bullshit?

      He could get every single Maga hat wearing simpleton, line them up, personally shoot every 3rd one in the head, and the other two would be going “oh, good choice, sir.”

      He’s told them multiple times, they just do not listen, or they hear it and insist its a self-deprecating joke and he’s “…such a card…”

      They’ll “get it” until the very next time they have the opportunity to vote for a criminal with an “R” next to his name that says bad things about immigrants and liberals.

    Required reading for anyone choosing to engage with freshly wavering MAGA types:

    I can see you are regretful. It’s good that you are. There’s a lot to regret. We are deeply sick as a culture.

    The diagnosis is supremacy—an abusive human spirit that seeks and causes genocide and slavery. We are all infected with it, but we haven’t all been harmed in the same way, or to the same degree.

    Some among us have been grieving the world they inherited, the theft of what is theirs—but we have not been robbed in the same way.

    We are grieving the harm caused by the inheritance that we chose.

    Now you have been abused by this culture of abuse we inherited and chose, and that has brought you to the edge of awareness. I’m there at the edge of awareness as well, maybe just a little closer. I’ve been there for a short time; only a decade or so.

    This isn’t always going to be easy, and it’s going to cost us. We inherited a societal sickness that infected us but made others sick. To heal ourselves, we must first seek to heal not ourselves but others.

    You have likely been abused in your life, and that is not your fault. And yet what is being done to you is being done first and worst to others, as an automatic function of our society. We inherited that, and we bear responsibility for that. And you have aligned yourself with that for long years, and there is responsibility there, too—a responsibility and a cost. You will not be welcomed by everyone. You won’t be forgiven by everyone. You won’t even be liked by everyone. If you are doing this to maintain your influence, or become the hero, or to gain cheap forgiveness, or to avoid the cost of awareness and conviction and blame, then you won’t last on this healing path.

    Healing will involve many pains and many costs, and it will require radical transformation of our beliefs and our lives.

    But healing is what we need.

    And healing is its own reward. Don’t look for any other.

      Lol fuck that. They voted for a nazi multiple times, they can swing with him. Healing can’t happen until the cancer has been excised from the body completely. Cancer cells can hide, but they can never be a healthy, functioning part of the whole. Best to remove it completely.

      The man they voted for never existed at all – he was the product of their lead-addled imaginations and wishful thinking.

      They voted for a fictional character who happened to have the same name as a real candidate.

      This. He’s been the exact same since before the first term. If the access Hollywood tape wasn’t enough to push you away from him, then it’s not a moral issue. You bought the hate. Don’t chicken out now just because his asinine vitriol is starting to hurt you a bit. That feels a lot like seeing the ship has sprung some leaks and trying to get on the lifeboat before permanently getting stuck on the wrong side of history.
