what's happening now is what happens after years and years of "we need to acknowledge/respect their viewpoint" and "you catch more flies with honey than with vinegar" and other various "stop being mean to the nazis" shit
as evidenced by the reactions to couchfucker and taco etc, the only thing that does anything (however little) with bigoted fascist narcissists is shaming them with mockery and ridicule. too late now though. they will be murdering protesters soon. in the name of "protecting" them, or "freedom" or some other absolute bullshit
How exactly does mockery and ridicule help?
I'd rather put energy in the education of those who can still listen, and the next generation.
this strategy has catastrophically failed over the last 10 years, and here we are.
do what you will. i will continue to paint them as every bit as ridiculous, stupid, gullible, and wrong that they are.
fuck R voters.
let me guess "well, they definitely won't vote D now!!"
yea. that whole "voting" thing is over with. welcome to fascism, and don't forget to thank your racist inbred magahat neighbors for now endless opportunity to "educate" them while they laugh at you and throw everything you say out the window
Do it if you want to, but I feel like it mostly a feel good activity rather than something effective.
For me the only sustainable and worthy solution is massively reinvesting in public education. It's the only way to lift a country's average education equally.
this is true. but you're conveniently skipping numerous steps required to even approach that point, not the least of which is destroying the GOP. this is not your grandpa's or even your dad's GOP. it's fucking nazis, and the last semblance of any kind of humanity within it died with john mccain.
and as i've said before, and will never stop saying, AND has been repeatedly demonstrated by real world events-- "rational discussion" with these people does. not. work.
mockery. ridicule. point out in no uncertain terms how fucking ridiculous, stupid, gullible, hypocritical, evil, and cowardly they are.
btw, since you haven't seemed to notice, within 6 months, they've already effectively wrecked education, both K-12 and higher ed. what's left is right-wing propaganda indoctrination factories (actual indoctrination, not what they accused it of being before). science is in the trash.
what is it going to take to get rid of this insistence on "let's sit down and talk with them" attitude? they're already rounding up and deporting american citizens just for not being 100% white. when it's martial law? curfews in every city? when their goons start murdering protesters en masse in the street?
Let us know how that works out in your alternate reality.
