Serious question: Has anyone ever been convinced to change their MAGA allegiance after some blatant hypocrisy was identified?
Because if it has and does occasionally happen then I’ll shut my mouth and be glad for small progresses.
If not, why the fuck do we (humans, citizens) even fucking bother? Truth stopped mattering a decade ago. Likely longer, but I’ll say a decade.
Other than the Epstein thing the other commenter mentioned, a lot of people who are affected personally by the actions of the regime, especially when they are outside of the promised group to be punished.

I believe the Epstein files debacle is doing that for some. And there’s been news stories + memes about people getting pangs of regret long after they voted for the turd.
It is of course still sad how much these people are willing to overlook. And how much “fact bombardment” it takes to reach their bubbles.
Never give up.
They really do want One Party Government
They’ve had it for twenty years. Historically, Republicans were a bit more patient and savvy about baiting one or two Dems to break ranks.
Paxton simply can’t pass the Marshmallow Test. He won’t wait a few weeks for a right wing pressure group to break them like they did in 2003 or 2021. He’s got to have his win right now.
I thought it was GOP, not OPG?
Greedy Old Pedophiles
That lying, evil piece of shit can’t possibly be a hypocrite, can he? My whole sense of reality is falling apart. Republicans acting in bad faith?! Say it isn’t so!
Got em
There is no “getting” these hypocrites. They cannot feel shame. They don’t play by the same rules.
Such a pity, too. Not long ago something like this would have ended even a powerful politician’s career. Dead. Full stop. But now, who can blame them? They’ve learned that there are no consequences for their hypocrisy and bad behavior, so why would they change?
As long as Democrats continue to pretend to be surprised by Right Wing misbehavior instead of doing anything about it, this shit’ll keep happening
its a uniparty, they are both codepedant on each other for survival, the gop needs dems to be railed on, and ds need to put a faux opposition party to be relevant.
But what if the dems realized they could become a real opposition party and have power.
I hate to say it but there are consequences for all this. Some less immediate than others.
The reality that a Republican has done wrong is never as important as the suspicion that a Democrat might be thinking of doing wrong.
Yeah that is my point. Sorry it wasn’t clear. I can’t stand liberals who play gotcha with fascists. The fascists do not give a fuck. If anything they like that their message is spread more.
I know a guy who voted for trump and was living in a bubble. His bubble has been officially popped. We try not to laugh because he’s fighting the good fight now, but we’ve been trying to wake him up since the last term.
TL:DR- People do switch sides occasionally. It’s worth the effort.
… They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. …
The Breaking with the icon tells me they used chatgpt. Are they doing the politicking work, or did they vacate that to a machine?
Humans are perfectly capable of writing shit headlines (and have been for centuries)
Yep, that’s where chatgpt learned how to use stupid little icons on everything.
