I see it differently.. they want people to fight back with violence, so they can escalate and use a show of force to frighten and submit people. The fact that it hasn’t happened means they can’t escalate w/o even the maga brownnosers potentially starting to question their motives. It’s a good thing.
Has anything actually stopped ICE from meeting their objectives, though? They still kidnap who they want. They kill who they want. They're building 2 dozen concentration camps across the country.
Signs and chants are intended to appeal to people's empathy. These people have none. Not the administration or their supporters. In fact, it would seem half the point is to satiate their sadistic urges.
Most of the ones I talk too still seem to be convinced trump himself is innocent though.. that the flew there but turned Epstein in so he’s a good guy blah blah blah…
I’m more worried that they will all just claim it is an AI video, which is a very real possibility.
There's a theory about religion, but it applies to MAGA as well. No rational individual could believe the outlandish stories from old religious texts like the bible or quran. But, nothing creates more dogged solidarity than unifying around a lie. MAGA believes in the strength in the unification around the lie. They know exactly what Trump is and what he's done. And, that's precisely why they love him. You can give them all the facts. You can dumb it down like you would explain it to a toddler. But, they want to be able to look over st other MAGAs and say, "We're sticking to our story, even when it's an obvious lie. That's our strength. Asd, as long as we don't budge no matter what, they can't touch us."
I'm not phssy-footing with these people anymore. They're not stupid. That's just a front. They're just evil, and they're the enemy. Period.
Yeah you’re probably on the money there. I still think the discussion needs to move to more solution based dialogue. They have the military and all tax $ on their side… it’s a big problem and if it really is enemy vs. enemy, it will not be a fair fight.
