The fact that so many progressives can't tell the difference between genuine ableism/bigotry and trolling conservatives is why America can't have nice things.
Was driving and glanced at something in my peripheral, barely even registered what I was seeing before a shrill "SHEES FOUURTEEEEEEEENNN" blistered through my ear drums from the passengers seat.

GOP has appealed to the authority of "the silent majority" for going on 100 years. Post-Evangelical churches, aka christo fascist churches, have also fostered an "us vs them" culture. The non-biblical phrase, "be in the world but no of thew world" is a staple.
"Everyone (who matters) loves trump" is easier to lie about than "the majority of people love trump" Because the latter requires quantification. But if "everyone loves the dictator" you simply can write off every exception as invalid instead of quantifying them.
The key is thought termination. Close the loop before any pesky numbers or original thoughts get in. Thats why they all have the same talking points unless you can get to them before MAGA-Steam-Media tells them what to think and they literally can't form a sentence.

Takes a real jerkface to think they're entitled to be the only one starting negative interactions with people.
If you don't like what I have to say to you there is a very, very simple solution.
edit: Stop starting interactions with me. That's the solution. Didn't wanna overload you with nuance so I spelled it out.
