the best way to do that is by having a two-way conversation.
Man I hate to tell you this, but here's how that's going to go.
"You want my help dismantling the Trump regime and the oligarchy? Ok, I'll help, but only if you agree to criminalize being gay, trans, black, or brown."
A. You agree, and forsake LGBT and minority communities.
"Good, so first step- wait, what's that? A LIMITED EDITION TRUMP 2028 HAT??? Sign me the fuck up!"
B. You disagree.
"Then get fucked shitlib, I'm calling ICE and telling them to fuck you up."
C. You convince him the oligarchy is the real enemy, not Trump (Requires SPEECH 100) or trans people (Roll Persuasion with disadvantage).
"See, you get it! The globalist Jews..." He carries on and you pretend not to listen. "But when I become a billionaire, I'm gonna do it right!"
If they don't like living next to warehouses, they better get ready to live next to ovens. Deregulated and unfiltered.
Regional environmental regulations mean that most U.S. crematoriums have scrubbing or filtering systems, such as after-chambers that burn and neutralize pollutants like mercury emissions from dental fillings.
“Most filtration systems are focused on reducing metals and particulate matter and nitrous oxide”
I'd prefer they didn't. They'll never admit, even tacitly, that they caused this mess. If they pick up guns, it's gonna be to go back to lynching black people or to annihilate their own families. They will not conceive of any other way out.
The tweet said "the presidency" not "the president." It didn't even say anything about Reagan himself, just repeating what Reagan said about the title and office.
I first learned how to use computers when Times New Roman was the default font in Word, but I'm not a stunted fuckup with daddy issues so I guess Calibri never bothered me.
But Mark my words, the Conservative of tomorrow will be working fervorously to return to the glory days of when Calibri was their default font, because Conservatives always yearn to return to the days of their youth, when the world wasn't so big and scawey.
I don't mean like, peer pressure shame. I mean inner shame, psychological shame. The angst of not being to internally reconcile opposing value systems. Like "I want to be treated fairly, but what if someone treats me badly the same way I treat others?" Cultists, narcissists, bullies, live in fear of the answer to this question, which forms the basis of their internal shame.
The cognitive dissonance that Trump voters have is like a debt that accrues interest, and shame is a measure of the total balance of debt. The way you pay down a debt starts by acknowledging the objective reality of having that debt, and giving something up in return.
A normal person, when faced with shame of a manageable scale, handles it by apologizing for wrongdoing, offering a conciliation gift, changing the way they behave and the values they believe in, that kind of thing. Trump voters are incapable of this, as they seemingly don't acknowledge the debt in the first place. Which means their debt is always growing, the stakes are always rising. Eventually they pass an event horizon, where they believe reconciliation is no longer possible and the only two options are 1) cling tighter to the beliefs, or 2) end their lives, often violently, often with intentional collateral damage.
those who want you out of this country are using the exact same language
They're blind to this because in their minds, the boundary in the social hierarchy for arrest and deportation (read: kidnapping and human trafficking), is somewhere below their current ranking. All those terrible things are only meant to happen to my lessers, not me. I'm one of the good ones.
I'm sorry to hear that you speak from experience, because I speak from experience too. There were many off-ramps from the highway of crazy, and I think with each passing one it becomes more difficult for cult followers to deal with the shame of admitting they were wrong. They're in so deep now, I think they'll go to their graves with it.
