    Fuck that, this is just another rendition of the centrist/both sides bad/fascist apologizer number. Everyone that voted for this deserves to be ridiculed and called out to face the reality that they have forced upon the rest of us. Maybe then the lesson will stick. We tried the polite way and millions of people spat in our face. We do not have to take the higher road.

      I get the sinking feeling that a lot of Trump supporters are at a point where they simply won’t trust anything we tell them.

      They’ve skillfully avoided the truth up to this point. They’ve drank enough kool-aid that they’ll remain resolute in their “rightness” through shitstorm after self-imposed shitstorm. It’s not about facts with them; it’s about their feels. Their feels tell them that they are right and everyone in their cult “community” agrees, so they must be correct.

      The last thing that will convince them they were wrong, would be screamed realities from people they already don’t trust.

      Name one person who was convinced to do something by being shamed. You’re bust making them double down.
