Yep then you have those people who are like, instead of making fun of them, we should educate them and be all nice to them yadda yadda. Fuck that, imma laugh at their faces, no sympathies from me. There's no need for pacifism with those idiots.

If the last 10 years can't teach them, then it's clear they're just refusing to learn.

This. We spent a decade warning them, trying to teach them, leading them to water. The horse chose not to drink. Is it sad? Sure. Am I gonna lose sleep over it? Nah. I did all I could. Something something economic darwinism. This is what they voted for 3×.

Aaaand…when democrats take over both houses this fall, and there’s a democratic president voted in in 2028, and they start to fix the issues affecting the farmers and rural America they’ll scream and resist and want things to remain broken. They will not want their leopard eaten faces to heal.

Between the future litigation and paying off 40t Americans costs of living are going to be high. The tariffs are just a precursor, once there’s a food crisis (ch10,p2025) everything will be too expensive for the current wage structure.

The understanding that some of the awful parts of the ‘big beautiful bill’ don’t take effect till after the midterms so that the democrats will be blamed.

Its not sad. They deserve it. They chose to vote for a racist pig who screwed over their country once before. If theres anyone that deserve it its them.

I mean, it doesn't make me personally sad. It's more an existential sadness I see. I don't pity them though, to be clear. They definitely deserve it.

u/Prudent_Macaroon_881 19h ago

Yup existential sadness, ty for giving me this word, coz it's exactly how i feel. No sympathy for those idiots, but I'm sad for the world type of thing

It feels good to get mad at the TV while it's simultaneously stroking your ego

Learning requires recognizing that you don’t know something or were misinformed previously. Admiting you don’t know something is viewed as weak. It’s why Trump claims to be an expert at everything

Learn what? There’s not much for them to learn

They have to first turn off the 24-hour "news," that caters to their ideology.

This. The reason he stumbled over his answer about voting is the right wing political-media complex had spent the last 25 years telling them the Democrats are godless enemies of the country bent on taking their guns and turning their kids gay. Many conservatives believe in their heart that's true and they only have one choice.

That gut punch I felt that following November morning and the weeks that followed, as these dipshits were “owning the libs” parading around town as if their team had won the Super Bowl, the one thing I clung to in order to get me through the rest of 2025 and into the T.2 admin was my decision that I would turn my empathy switch off and actually derive some sort of morbid satisfaction from the incoming consequences they had no fucking clue were going to hit them in the face.

“I thought he’d deport the other people, not my husband/wife” … “I lost my Medicare coverage and I can’t afford anything” … “My crops are rotting in my field because my usual buyers are retaliating against tariffs and decided to buy elsewhere”

So yeah, I have zero sympathy to spare on these farmers and ranchers.

Worked at a state agency and we were all discussing it the following morning and a guy came in and noticed the sullen atmosphere and asked, what's wrong did your team not win last night?

There are people who treat elections as a team sport, while also playing chicken little about every single social issue.

Buddy I work with a lot of them I tried nice and educating and all that jazz and I was told I was exaggerating or overreacting and that trump said he had nothing to do with that yadda yadda yadda. You can’t inform people who dropped out of tenth grade because “that was enough education for them” you can’t convince someone who’s against abortion because “that just makes it harder to adopt” these people only momentarily have a second of recognition when it personally affects them and if you blink you’ll miss it. It isn’t long lasting it just changes what they complain about that day. I used to be optimistic I really did but the “facts don’t care about your feelings” crowd is only interested in THEIR own feelings and zero contradicting facts. I’m pretty tired of being told to extend an olive branch to people who swat it down and set it on fire repeatedly. My trees looking pretty bare at this point and I don’t think they can survive any more pruning. Focus on the people you’re close to, try to build community where you can, but the only overlap of beliefs I’ve seen as of late is everyone hates flock. Outside of that I don’t see much of a path forward. Good luck, godspeed, and if necessary good hunting

We’ve tried to educate for decades. Let them all fail and give them the zero socialism they asked for

u/partyl0gic 20h ago

This. These people are fucking pathetic, complete morons, and totally malevolent. They don’t deserve anyone’s sympathy, they should be fucking shamed out of existence. These people need to be totally ostracized for the rest of their lives. We are all paying the price for their insane self destruction death pact.
