Confirmation bias is a helluva drug. #RandomThoughts
When you declare that "all Republicans are fascists" or lean heavily on other divisive political stereotypes, you are directly helping the fascists who leverage division to achieve their ends.
You're erasing the humanity from the evil ideas that they suggest, while substantially over-inflating their numbers. You're turning what would be an 80/20 issue into a 50/50 issue.
Maybe knock that shit off. It is *insanely* counterproductive.
@kel I agree with this.
I know it comes off as a "not all Republicans" thing, but there's people stuck in there who are so wrapped up in the information prison who can be saved, if we can reach them. When we stop trying that is when they become lost because nobody is looking.
There's another bunch who are just not really paying attention. They wake up, vote, go sleep, and repeat as tradition. They don't really watch TV or use much social media. Or even know how to use it, even.
@kel My grandparents are the perfect example of this.
They are very rural Republicans. They putter around their farm all day thinking they still need to take care of it.
They don't know how to turn on a VCR let alone a computer, and their TV is only on if grandkids are there.
But they are reliable Republican voters, it's a traditional as they celebrate Christmas.
The only thing they know about Trump is his name and he was president and my parents told them he's good for them.
