Ideally, I’d love for Dems to just start taking credit for everything MAGA brags about. Since apparently the Republicans aren’t in charge.

    Please please can we stop trying to catch their lies? ALL THEY EVER DO IS LIE. It’s not a gotcha. It’s pointless. Their people don’t care and we all know they are full of shit. You can’t beat a fascist in discourse.

      It’s not just important to discourse. It’s important to know when they’re lying, even if that is always, and more importantly, what the truth is. You cannot let only their narrative exist

        Yes, plus, it’s not the people who already know they constantly lie that they are trying to convince. It’s the people who don’t pay a lot of attention and occasionally get something. They’re trying to tell that person that Democrats are doing this for them.

      Documenting all of it is really important, even though it’s fucking exhausting.

      Ultimately it isn’t really for fascists or the willfully ignorant to be swayed; it’s so that in the future humanity is able to review and learn lessons to improve upon the past.

      I hope.

      This is kinda why I’m just tempted to purge some of my socials. It’s just non fucking stop. I already spent a decade listening to TFG bullshit every week when he was president the first time and even when he lost the second time, the news still covered his pathetic ass constantly. I wanna be informed don’t get me wrong, but so much of this news is just noise.

      I know how I’m voting, not that we can simply vote fascism out, so what the fuck is the point of destroying my mental health every single day just to hear what trump said or what bullshit the GOP is doing in Texas or Tennessee. I’m losing my mind and all I’m trying to do is survive and I can’t even do that. All this fucking wonderful technology and I’m freaking miserable. Sigh, sorry for the rant brother.
