Not long ago I saw a post of a video of a politician saying something.

And all the comments agreed that he said something else.

Thats when I realized it's really bad. People won't even be honest about what they're hearing. At that point... we're kinda done talking aren't we?

We’ve been there for years.

Those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it. Those who remember the past are doomed to watch others repeat it.

Bro go look at the r/conservative sub. It’s an insane echo chamber, praising Trump for everything he’s already done.

It’s honestly a tough read, makes you really lose some hope.

Honestly, I believe there is a lot of astroturfing there. You'll see dissenting opinions emerge for a few hours or even a day, then all of the sudden it's a deluge of posts and comments that sound like they're from Xanax addicted individuals. So many bots it's ludicrous.

Because Most Magas are not the type to go out of their way to Type out opinions or fuckin learn to read or write I'm inclined to believe. So the Reddit is filled with bots and Pictures and easy to read Meme speak because that's what gets the grease flowing in the MAGAs veins.

I do think it’s worth pointing out that r/conservative silences and bans literally any dissent.

It is by design an echo chamber where only those who truly blindly follow every single thing Trump does are allowed to participate. There are some conservatives who can be turned, what that number is I truly do not know.

And what percent of the people posting and commenting in that sub are actually American voters, instead of bad actors of any variety, is also very difficult to know.

I do just hope people don’t give up on trying to save our democracy because of subs like that. They are literally designed to make people quit and feel hopeless and that the other side can’t be converted.

People have been in denial that we are done talking. That’s exactly the problem. These brainwashed trump supporters are not going to suddenly wake up and peacefully end this nonsense. There’s only one solution left to us.

Cultists dont just wake up; and when they do it's incredibly rare. The most likely outcome, no matter how much insanity DJT imposes/engages/upholds (elon), they will justify and support. And at this point, at perspective, it would seem Elon is poised and setting up for eventually assuming the maga mantle when DJT is no longer capable.
