  • I mean I think it's a good idea that we don't legally allow teens to smoke and drink.

    And I consider social media to be pretty harmful to developing minds. Hell, even adults minds. So I'm not totally against it.

  • people like this were truly misguided and deluded.

    And also inherently stupid. And stupid people tend to not truly learn from their mistakes.

    That is why I, and many others here, are skeptical.

    Yes, they were affected by propaganda and group think, but they also already experienced one failed presidency with this CONVICTED FELON and ADJUDICATED RAPIST and still threw in their support. That's actual stupidity, and not just influence from peers or "news" networks.

  • Same thing with Bush Jr. I remember it clearly. They got disillusioned with him because he was an idiot and caused a lot of problems. Then along came Trump, who is worse, and they all jumped onboard no questions asked.

  • I want receipts. I don't trust traitors.

  • They either rejoin civil society on our terms, or they get punished.

    Absolutely.

    These people, for all intents and purposes, are traitors to our nation. These weren't gullible fools falling for a sweet talking politician in a single election before learning from their mistake through experience. It has been over a decade and it's really no secret who and what Trump is.

    These people have been, and many still are, committed to hurting others. Ignorance is not an excuse.

    I personally view them as dangerous enemies and, as you said, MAGA needs to be forcibly cut out of this society and absolutely no concessions should be made in the process. We made that mistake after the Civil War and we're still paying for it.

  • Maybe I'm in the minority here, but I think people who purposefully hurt others, and their nation as a whole, should suffer some consequences and pay some form of reparations before I accept their fucking apology.

    This wasn't a political issue of disagreeing where tax money should go. These are people who condoned a violent insurrection to erase our votes and directly voted to oppress minorities and openly and gleefully supported a felon rapist pedophile who regularly demonizes half our populace.

    And to anyone that thinks they didn't generally condone a violent insurrection, they really did because they went out and voted AGAIN for the fucking traitor that instigated it.

  • At least they finally woke up.

    A stupid person is stupid whether they're asleep or awake. These dipshits are clearly no exception.

  • Imagine having a brain that, without question, believes the words of a lifelong grifter, prolific liar, felon, rapist, and pedophile.

    Yeah, there's no coming back from that kind of brain damage.

  • There’s no sticking together.

    Yup. There's no sticking together with people that condoned erasing our votes and systematically oppressing minorities.

    These are trash humans and I don't stick with trash.

  • Conservatism can be summed up in a single word, repeated ad infinitum.

    "ME"

  • They were down with storming the Capitol so only real American votes would be counted.

    Exactly. I will NEVER hold hands and sing Kumbaya with someone who condoned erasing my vote. They are my enemy forever.

    And it's a rare damn thing to find a conservative who condemns Jan6 and doesn't try to excuse it as a simple "protest". If that day had really gone their way, not a single fucking one would have stood up and spoken against it. Fuck them.

  • To trust his judgment ever again?

    This is the big one for me.

    This wasn't a confusing thing. Like you said, it's not abstract. This whole experience has probably been the most clearly definable political thing in the history of our nation. To make this kind of mistake with that in mind I have to assume they either have brain damage or pure, unadulterated hate toward their fellow Americans. And the consequences are generational. Decades to claw back. We will live the rest of our lives with some of these consequences.

    Why....how, would I ever trust them with anything important ever again? They simply cannot handle the responsibility as functional adults.

  • These people are traitors and I'm done trying to pretend they're not.

    Liberals vote so even the people they don't like can have a good education and healthcare and social safety nets in case they get fired/laid off/hurt.

    Conservatives vote to hurt others, which inevitably hurts themselves too.

    They are traitors to their nation because they don't care about the wellbeing of their nation and their fellow citizens.

  • like how fucking dumb can you be…

    Apparently dumb enough to repeatedly vote for a lifelong grifter rapist felon pedophile.

  • I DON'T CARE

    IT'S TOO LATE

    YOU FUCKING TOOLS DID THE SAME THING WITH BUSH JR

    YOU WILL DO ALL THIS AGAIN BECAUSE YOU ARE IDIOTS

    None of this means anything. These people do not learn from mistakes. That is abundantly clear at this point. And in the unlikely scenario that this one actually did, they are such a vanishingly small percentage that it really just doesn't matter. The vast majority of conservative voters that actually are turning on Trump will NEVER, EVER, EVEN UNDER PAIN OF DEATH, vote for anything other than Republicans.

    That's how cults work.

  • $950 handheld gaming device that I'd only ever use on a plane or long ass road trip in which I'm not driving.

    Or, play games on my phone.

    OR, gasps read a goddamn book.

  • Bummer. He might have to use 0.00001% of his wealth to build another one.

  • Next sane admin goes scorched earth and seals all the cracks in our system or this nation continues circling the drain and by the end of our lives this will be a very, very bad place to live, especially if you're dealing with end-of-life care.

    Many will point out that this is already a bad place to live in many aspects, but what I'm talking about will make our current situation look good.
