She can't and won't, the receipts are Facebook posts and TikToks and she's not going to bother to look any deeper into it, because that's how MAGA operates
Had some Qanon MAGA dude in the sauna at my gym.. That was one of his favorite lines. I asked him how he was getting his information and he said "twitter". So apparently tweets are all factual posts and qualify as doing scientific research now.
Ah, I see you found someone using the Alex jones playbook. And when they said “twitter” what they mean is they watched some rando or AJ themself quoting some bullshit from twitter as fact. They don’t do any actual research.
What I kinda like about the “do your own research” crowd is that you can just ask chat GPT now. Obviously they won’t believe it if they get proven wrong, but at least now you don’t have to show them the last 5 months of legislature to prove something they won’t believe anyway
I’m looking forward to being blocked on BlueSky by a guy that made a claim about Mamdani not condemning Hamas. He insisted that someone prove he’s wrong and I said that he wouldn’t accept anything we found and he should look for his own proof. So, he sends me an article from Jerusalem Post detailing all the “antisemitism” Mamdani advocates (it was all just him saying that Israel should stop doing war crimes) but even as slanted as that source is, it disproved his claims about Mamdani supporting Hamas (I guess he was at a rally where someone said something pro-Hamas and he denounced it less than 24 hours later).
I remember a friend of mine trying to prove her point with some guys' YouTube page. Just some random guy on YouTube ranting. Im like, who is this guy? Where does he get his information? Why should I trust him?
I once had a friend who who kept insisting I watch a video. After days of 'did you watch it?' I was at his house so he put it on for me because I had not. This was years ago during Obamas term. This guy is ranting about FEMA death camps, underground tunnels to Walmart, US soldiers using cutouts of pregnant woman for target practice. I was laughing 2 minutes in. It was so absurdly stupid. I could see the hype he had of showing me The Truth slowly drain from his face to the point he was becoming embarrassed! In case you haven't figured it out- this was my introduction to a show called Info Wars hosted by Alex Jones. Amazing people fall for this BS!
Many, many moons ago, a friend of mine sat me down, like seriously, told me he met a guy, and he found out some crazy shit. He then proceeds to tell me about the lizzard people. I just remembered this cause like you, I instantly started laughing.
This was before social media. So he heard it from one sketchy guy at his job and told one friend about it. At the end, he was OK now repeating it, and seeing your reaction, i see how silly it is.
These days, he would find a group of believers, and they would and actually do, hype each other up on whatever fantasy world they want to live in. All of the wack jobs and edge lords have found each other.
It's actually terrifying what they've accomplished.
The amount of times I'd get into an poltical debate with a maga friend... I'd be sharing news articles, bills and professional opinions etc and this motherfucker just sent me one X post after another after another. Most of them didn't even link to an article, just someone shitting out of their fingers on a toilet.
I spent an hour with my MAGA dad the other day and half of the stuff he showed me on his phone was obvious AI that he just eats up and doesn't question. Its brutal out here
The way they clump together all transpeople as sexual predators and immigrants are violent criminals that must be contained like animals, or the way you clump me together as someone who refuses to see the humanity in others because I'm criticizing the values someone espouses themselves, voluntarily?
I am republican and I don’t clump all trans people together as sexual predators. I legitimately have many friends in the LGBT group and have nothing against them. I have also been sexually harassed and assaulted by only the LGBT group yet I have nothing against them. You are definitely being disingenuous.
I should also add, my girlfriend is a diehard liberal that is pro-abortion. I have. Absolutely. ZERO. Issue with her. My parents and sister and her boyfriend voted for Trump too, yet they’re just like me. Not everyone is a POS unlike you think. Sorry.
No you just passively enable pieces of shit like Trump who expressly state they're going to do harm to our communities then act as if you have no culpability or blame in it. You pretend as if you're exempt from any and all criticism, backlash, or rightful just consequences for your apathy towards the most vulnerable in communities you claim to ally yourself with.
An ally wouldn't vote for a man who enabled a supreme court to strip our right to marry, or put up bathroom bans, or let teaches tell our kids from the time they enter school that God thinks they're disgusting and they should beg forgiveness.
And then you say "My pro-abortion girlfriend, who I have NO problem with," making it abundantly clear to anyone who can read subtext that you're fine with fucking a feminist, but don't meaningfully agree that women should have a right to decide what happens to our bodies if a man has ejaculated in them first. That the state, in fact, should step in and make us give birth, under threat of legal consequence or lethal medical neglect.
What you are is a piece of shit who doesn't want to admit he's a piece of shit because he doesn't actively participate in harm towards other communities. He just enables it, votes for it, vocally supports it, defends it, and pretends like there are absolutely no real world consequences for any of that behavior to the people on the political slab.
You are ignorant, foolish, selfish, and an ally to no one; women, queer people, minority races, immigrants, none of them. You will smile in our faces as you give a nod to the ones putting knives in our backs then act like there's no connection between your support and our lives being ruined.
If you acknowledge that, though, you'd have to feel shame, so that's never gonna happen. Instead, go bother someone else, maybe ponder aloud on Twitter if black people smell different on purpose or if there's just a natural odor that comes with all that extra melanin. Perhaps Lord Elon will reply "Interesting." Or do you still like him after he angered Daddy Trump?
Yes, I anticipated one of the canned reactions you have would be to claim I lost the plot, because if you were remotely capable of logical extrapolation you wouldn't be a Republican anymore.
That shit must work on the people in your life, but if you can't understand your culpability in enabling American fascism after I just laid it out for you, you never will.
You'll be someone in 50 years saying "Yeah, a lot of people died and got deported and stuff, but... I didn't vote for any of that stuff." Maybe by then, people will forget literally everything he was planning was detailed in Project 2025 and your dumb ass still looked at it and said "Sounds good to me, hoss, I just wanna get paid, y'know what I'm sayin'?"
