You are giving them way too much credit

“Trumps not an asset hes playing 4D chess like he did with those libs. Remember talifreako!?”

All they care about is culture war shit. They are literally and figuratively too dumb to figure out what’s actually happening.

They are more about other peoples penis than their president selling their wealth and all their kids wealth for generations.

Sunken Cost Fallacy. They're in too deep and will make up any excuse now. Deep down they probably know but admitting that they might be wrong will cause them to lose face.

how are you even supposed to go to family thanksgiving after spouting absolute nonsense for the past decade? What would one even wear, since it's all trump-branded crap.

Well being racist has not stopped Americans from being able to join family gatherings for decades...

This is the most American thing to say. It's sadly true. From what all my friends have told me, I just wonder how they tolerate this. The usual answer is, "Oh the family just ignores it."

You no longer accept the MAGA cultists as family. Stop enabling them.

Ok I don’t have kids, but is the whole child sex change thing a real problem? The way they go on about in the Texas ads it seems like a crisis

It's literally illegal for any surgical procedure to be performed on a minor without parental consent.

The ads are entirely bullshit, full stop.

Also, we can't consistently get free school lunches. Does anyone really believe they're doing gender reassignment surgeries for free in schools?

u/billyoshin 12h ago

No or else we’d know the examples by now… they haven’t shown any proof other than kids wanting to be called by different names.

Don't you think if they had a family this had happened to, they would've had those parents on every fox news and every other boot licking news station they possibly could? One set of parents saying this happened to them? Its made up. Just like the eating cats and dogs...

To expand on what another commenter already mentioned, schools can’t even give kids Tylenol anymore. A lot of schools have even phased out bandages because of skin allergies. If you have a headache, stomachache, cut, or scrape, the office or school nurse can only give you a peppermint or a bag of ice. My kids’ schools (we’ve moved states over the years, so they’ve been to a few) have always had us sign papers stating that if our kids needed any sort of medication, we had to go up to the school to give it to them. They are absolutely not taking children in for surgery.

You didn’t mention this, and you might already know but it’s part of what sparked all of this and is important to add. The “they’re turning the kids into cats/furries” frenzy, which eventually evolved into gender changes. The litter boxes (which not all schools have) are for violent emergencies. I can’t specify which kind, because I’m already getting flagged. If the kids have to be locked in their classrooms for hours because of an active situation, somebody is bound to have to use the bathroom. They need a temporary and sanitary way to handle that, which the litter box does. We don’t even have to have our kids endure these crises to begin with, but our politicians call them “necessary evils”. Suffering is the goal, because our politicians don’t send their kids to public school.

You..needed someone to tell you this wasn't real? That's incredibly disheartening.

u/nalaloveslumpy 11h ago

No. It's the exact same bullshit as litter boxes in school bathrooms.

u/wytewydow 10h ago

we've actually been driving around conservative neighborhoods, and going door to door in many cases, looking for sexually secure young men to manipulate. No wait, that's the actual conservatives.

No joke, my mom has consistently supported Trump from the beginning.  But i was talking to her recently and my sister and I mentioned the stuff with Canada and my mom was like "yeah that's crazy.  What is his problem with Canada?" 

And I mentioned Russia supporting him in 2016 and how this is the kind of stuff we would do if we had a puppet Russian president: ruin their alliances, trade, reputation, and positions of leadership in international bodies.  And my mom was like, "yeah, i guess that does make sense"
