Sadly the maga ones are incapable of self reflection. They’ll just say that the “fake news” is lying about him because the democrats control the media and every other facet of their lives
- stepping on a rake and yelling "The democrats did this!" as it hits me in the face
  
  The only thing that stops a bad guy with a rake is a good guy with a rake
- I just had one of my coworkers earlier today tell me that Tim Walz legalized abortion in MN up to 1 day after birth. We live in MN. These people are so fucking brainwashed that they've lost all touch of reality.
  
  John Stewart called it out a million years ago when he said Republicans choose to live on Bullshit Mountain.
- This is very apparent if you go on a YouTube news comment section. It's basically all salty conservatives lmao. They're in panic mode
- What’s with this defeatist shit?
  It’s not impossible to show people they’re in the wrong. Often, I’d argue even for most, it’s just a matter of time and the individual being exposed to direct consequences.
  
  I’m a little confused by your reply? I’m not saying all republicans are bad, I’m strictly talking about maga republicans. They refuse to acknowledge facts and label them as fake news the minute it conflicts with their world view. I’ve tried having discussions with maga on Reddit and it would always dissolve into “that’s fake news! They’re trying to paint Trump in a bad light!”. The last one I talked to was u/illidari_extremist (he’s also a raging racist who blames black people for his life) and when I presented him with video evidence of Trump saying he would date a 10 year old in 10 years he ended up calling it a fake video and blocked me.
  You can try to talk to them but I’m done. I’d rather put my time and effort into talking with people who are not in a cult or have a cult mentality.
  
  One thing to remember is a lot of these people would need literal cult deprogramming, which while possible, is not likely in their cases because... who's going to do it? Why would they bother to sit through it?
  This would be 'intervention' levels of requirement, so there are some people who are, for all practical purposes, out of reach.
  
  It's different for everyone, but some people will only admit they're wrong to compassionate people.
  People will fight their enemies, but they're willing to let their guard down among friends.
  I think that's one of the reasons why MLK Jr got killed. His enemies didn't know how to fight him or his beliefs. He forced people to view each other as humans and that's a tough pill to swallow for people who don't have a capacity to give or ask for forgiveness.

- Honestly, the official merch hat of Harris Walz kinda speaks infinite volumes.
  
  I want a shirt that says "Putting the ope in hope."
  
  I might not be getting it, but why does a theme of trees/nature specifically counter the MAGA hat like that?
  
  That's sweet.
- Username checks out.

HE'S BEEN GIVING SANITARY PRODUCTS TO CHILDREN! PLEASE HATE HIM!
- What a groomer, amirite? Encouraging girls to become women and shit.
  /S in case it's not clear.
  
  I'm not even sure where the encouragement part comes from. Women start to bleed at puberty, it's pretty much non-optional. How fucking weird does one have to be to purposefully ignore this? It's like not wanting to put toilet paper in the shitter.

Here’s a link to the original video, which is a classic. It’s less than three minutes long. If you’ve never seen it before, watch it. If you haven’t seen it in a while, watch it again!
- And if you watched it just now, watch it again! And then watch every episode of That Mitchell and Webb Look!
  
  And the glorious Peep Show

20 years ago, Republicans would go into a back room and spend six weeks cooking up the most cynical, mendacious, bigoted dogwhistles yet conceived by man, then strategically leak shit to the press via their online fronts and far-right propaganda outlets. They'd build a rumor mill around the claim Kerry faked his purple heart or leak doctored files to end Dan Rather's career. They'd spread a bunch of FUD about The Next 9/11 being a brief case dirty bomb carried into the US across the border as part of a drug deal. And they'd whip up hysteria in every church south of the Mason Dixon line about gay liberals trying to force churches to marry them.
Now Walz gets on the ticket and six Groypers just start spamming Twitter with "He's probably a pedophile!" and "Look at this obvious AI generated image of Jeffery Epstein", then call it a day.
The GOP has fallen so far.

They're not trying to convince the general public, they're trying to convince themselves, and that's a significantly easier goal.

I'm not sure David Mitchell appreciates this use of his visage.
- He's made enough jokes at the expense of the Tories, I don't think he'd mind.
  
  Idk... he's looking a little noteworthy here.
- I think he would love the accuracy lmao
- He's a literal Nazi in the original skit. It's not exactly worse than the original in context.

MAGA here. At least we didn't have to pretend for 4 years that Biden was Sharp As A Tack™. Then, as if right on cue, pretend Kamala wasn't the most unpopular candidate in your own primary.
But go ahead, keep huffing your own farts.
- Hello, literate human here.
  Trump literally wears diapers. That is all.
  Good day.
- I agree with you that the strength of Harris campaign surprised everyone, and that a lot of Democrats though she didn't stand a chance. This just shows that sometimes, people can be wrong; the big difference between Democrats and Republicans though is that Republicans must never show or admit they are.
- Straw manning so f-ing hard. Just in case anyone didn't realize this guy is just coping really hard, here is what actually happened. Dems elected Biden because we unfortunately need a centrist to appeal to swing voters. He then enacted lots of progressive policies and had an incredibly successful 4 year term. Then everyone was very surprised that he planned to run again because it was heavily implied that he wouldn't. When Dems realized he really is too old to be running, lots of pressure was applied and he passed the torch. While Kamala wasn't mine or, I'd guess, many of the folks here's first choice we once again need a centrist to appeal to swing voters. Tim Walz is a really nice VP pick for us though as he's definitely more progressive. I'm so pleasantly surprised that she didn't pick Beshear "cuz Israel" and I think it's a really good sign. That's why her campaign is going well. Because she's surprising.
  Basically nothing this OP said is true or genuine and Dems are the only ones willing to shake anything up or admit that things need to change. So literally the opposite of what the idiot I'm responding to is purporting in bad faith.
  Who exactly is huffing farts again? The party willing to pivot or the one still voting for a geriatric wannabe dictator?
- Now highlight the failings of your own party?
- I don't affiliate directly with either party because parasocial relationships are fucking weird, but like dude, that party is absolutely teetering towards the bad guys in the middle East we tore down in the 90s/00s... Theocracies are bad news buddy.
- Like how trump, now realizing he's the old fart in the room, is claiming that Biden isn't old now?
- You're right, you had a way bigger illusion to maintain, requiring all the co-rubes money, to create holodeck levels of fidelity for you BULLSHIT SIMULATOR.
  Nothing MAGA has done has made anything great, your movement will be derided in history as an embarassing footnote, and you will live to feel the consequences of your own special stupidity.
  I'm fucking here for it 🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿
- And yet, she's still up in the polls. Lol
- Man over hear on that Trump brand jenkem projecting about huffing farts lmao.
- You had to pretend your incumbent didn't cheat and still lose.
  Hope you remember how because you'll need to do it again.
- Weird take, weirdly phrased.
  
  I can’t make heads or tails of it. Brain worms I guess.
- A MAGA actually accused other people of huffing farts.
- Yeah, you only had (and continue) to pretend that trump wasn't, and continuous to be a criminal, a massive fraud, a thief who even stole from charity, a rapist who loves grabbing them by the pussy and walking into little girls charging rooms,, the first ex president to attempt a coup, a massive compulsive liar about literally everything, a massive narcissist, a loser who bankrupted just about every company he headed, ... I could go on for a while but you get the idea, right?
  So yeah, Joe Biden who, looking back, performed pretty well, was old, and we pretended he was not that old... Yeah, you're totally right, at least you didn't pretend trump was old because he isn't. Oh, wait...
- I guess it is easy for Trump to appear sane when spouting bs and nonsense is normal. He doesn't need to think about things because he can just lie on the spot, whereas Biden has to actually use his brain. Some of the things Trump says clearly shows he has mental issues (being able to talk succinctly doesn't mean you're sane)
  Also, I suspect Joe wouldn't fall asleep during his own court case
  A lot of the claims about Biden were BS (like the photo where the right wing cut out the parachuter to make it appear he was talking to himself.
  But sure, vote for a guy who gives 2 F's about you. An Aussie billionaire even confirmed he's disclosing confidential information to people who aren't permitted.
  Trump has done so much really bad stuff that everyone has forgotten about 99% of it and only a small amount gets discussed
- Biden is on the decline. He was fine 4 years ago and is still probably fine. Dems actually care if their candidate isn't fit for the next term. Maybe maga should too
- At least we didn’t have to pretend for 4 years that Biden was Sharp As A Tack
  We prefer the term "Stable Genius".
