The fact that they think the modern Democratic Party is Marxist is crazy
-
Their entire echo chamber is paid to say that over and over and over so it just becomes reality to them. I explained to a coworker that basically anyone that even slightly understands Marxism hears the right say that nonsense and it sounds like if I were to say "Donald Trump is a vegan organic farmer."
It's the same category as "woke" like this book:
-
I looked it up and see, "Marxism is an economic and political theory that examines the flaws inherent in capitalism. It's primarily based on the work of German philosopher and economist Karl Marx. 1. Marxist theories were influential in the development of socialism, which advocates for the shared ownership of the means of production by workers"
... That sounds like it aligns with how I see it. I like to examine the flaws in capitalism and I don't think that we, as a group, are benefitting from once CEO per company making an ass load of money via greed. Am I Marxist or no?
-
Don't confuse "post-Marxist understanding" with "being a Marxist."
Marx defined and described an ontology that even his opponents use as tools to describe the economy - but it wouldn't make sense to call opponents of Marx as 'Marxists' would it?
Just examining flaws in and of itself isn't socialism, although arguably saying capitalism has no flaws is pro-capitalist.
-
Do you want to abolish capital, corporations and private property?
-
Instead of checking a dictionary, do you want to ask actual Marixists what they think of the Democratic Party? You can find plenty of them around here. They tend not to have anything nice to say about the Democrats, and would be insulted at the comparison.
-
They're talking about the modern Democratic Party, not you personally.

-
"Does he still have your vote?"
"Yes."
-
"he literally is going to enrich himself at our expense and do nothing to help you. Nothing but lies to get elected."
"I mean sure, he'll throw us all under the bus for a buck, but I can't vote for the Demonrats they kill babies to make the bindings for Das Capital, they facefuck Santa Claus, and they just legalized beating white Christian men with discarded genitalia from gender surgery for the sin of being conservative. It's mandatory in Commifornia now. Don't you even pay attention to Reality™©®!? Sean Hannity said so which means it's 100% TRUE! It's like all you do is watch biased media! Sean Hannity says that we conservatives need to work together to get Republicans in office so obviously he's not biased, he's one of us!"

She was sugarcoating her bigotry and here you are questioning everything

"my mind generates words to say that make me win every encounter"
"I must fully understand psychology for it is impossible for others to be wrong -- perhaps it's my understanding of the cosmos. Perhaps they are victims of a grand campaign of misinformation. Nobody would disagree if we had the same facts, right? I must retreat to my haven in the mountains and meditate of mankind."

People are primarily driven by emotion. Some people almost exclusively so.
You can't really convince people of things with facts and figures. That's like trying to heat your bedroom by making a bonfire down the street.
We're all emotional, and all of us sometimes follow our feelings over more rational motivations. But a lot of people are pretty much all emotion, and they vote for bad policy.
-
Emotions are important to a full inner life, but letting them decide how you behave is a sign of immaturity.
-
People are primarily driven by emotion
Some people are driven by emotion, some driven by facts and logic. The balance has shifted to the "poorly educated" who are helpless against Putin's psyops and Republican manipulation - "They are eating the cats", indeed.
-
-
How did the conversation actually go? Because my immediate question would have been "why was that your deciding factor?"
-
-
Grandpa was crying about losing his workforce at the factory due to border laws.
Oh sorry did the consequences of your vote come sooner than you thought?
Dumb cunt

"I got swindled by a shyster with a decades long track record, twice in a row! How did that happen?"
-
I'm curious what Trump lie led to this
-
The possibilities are endless!
-
The ouster of Bob Good and the H1-B visa controversy, I think.
-
I'm guessing probally the reverse inflation / food prices lie, it's the only one I ever see bitched about, but yes there are many

Because while liberals have a vague, uselessly imprecise understanding of what some unimportant words mean, like liberal and socialist, the conservative base holds knowing things in active contempt and the leadership likes to keep them that way.
-
-
This small vocal fraction of MAGA on social media is so insignificant and irrelevant to most of the people who voted for Trump. There’s absolutely no chance my dumbass aunt is aware of any of this.
-
It's almost as if Trump is a symptom and not the cause of the MAGA movement.
-
I wish the finding out phase were only this bad, tbh. The real shit goes down starting in at least 23 days and only gets worse after that.
-
I wish Democrats were as cool as conservatives think they are.
-
Ummmmmmmm how are Democrats Marxist and how are they traitors??!

Openly evil Marxist traitors.
As opposed to the guys doing a bait and switch right? No betrayal there...
-
The full scale of the finding out part will occur in 2028. Yes, the USA is going to be a massive train wreck with Putin's Sock Puppet increasing socialism to cover up his failures. For example, farm subsidies in 2017 were around $7 billion and in 2020, he nailed $23 billion. The abused Payment Protection Plan...$953 billion down the drain. We'll see if the Louisiana bird flu really mutates and busts out of the red run turd hole.
-
This is the perfect opportunity. MAGAs have been betrayed by their leader, and their leader (Musk) is inviting dozens of scabs from other countries to do what would otherwise be high paying jobs for peanuts.
We can turn the Left Vs. Right Dichotomy into a Rich Vs. Poor one. Much better odds
-
The people at fox "news" won't do that, they're the rich and paid by other rich people, and the MAGA masses are too brainwashed by them to listen to anyone else
-
The convince them that Faux Noise is bad, but word it in a way they'll listen that doesn't just sound like "Lib whining" or "Nerd shit"

Democrats being marxiste !
-
Too bad the picture is cropped and it doesn’t-t show the giant award over his balls.
-
it would be comedic to sit back and watch it all implode, if it weren't for the fact that there are dire crises elsewhere in the world that are flaring and will continue to flare regardless of what looney tunes are going on in America.
Say what you will about 2016-2020. But at least we didn't have "Russia takes off the mask, shows itself to be a regime of genocidal fascists, and starts full scale war" or "Israel Palestine Thunderdome round 6" like last time. to name a few
Its a dangerous time for one of the adults to have left the room . when it comes to world stability.
-
Amusing that Russia is the one taking off the mask. Feels like the government of Israel is the one who took off the mask and revealed a regime of genocidal fascists. Putin took that mask off years back.
-
No, he really didnt. Denialists believed right up until Feb 2022 that he was just a chest pounding schemer too afraid to actually plunge his country into actual war. despite sanctions, we still had a relationship, albeit cold , with russia, now we are more or less at war with each other.

Homelessness in usa increased by 20% from 2023. Family homelessness increased by 40%. >50% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. Your side lost because they did a shit job not because people were "fooled".
-
Congrats on conclusively demonstrating you don't understand how economies or governments work.
Our side lost because a plurality of people are too fucking stupid to know when someone is lying to their faces.
-
That is one way of looking at the previous election. Insulting those who voted against you usually does not bring them back to your side. Perhaps you should consider a change in strategy. I'm sure you knew that since you are so educated and superior. You could explain to them "how economies and governments work". Have you actually spoken to any of these people? No. You just know they are stupid and easily tricked, no wonder they refused to vote for you.
-
-
That was a global trend due to international affairs. A lot of ruling parties lost this year.
-
In the west, yes. Globally no.

Mother fucker, HE SAID HE WAS GOING TO DO ALL OF THIS CRAP!! un-fucking-believable!
And it's not even fucking true! There's nothing Marxist about the Democrats except for the far right propaganda against them!
The democrats could literally have the exact same platform as the GOP and these brainlets would still think they were "commies trying to destroy muh free rights and guns". Whats funny is that the Dems arent even too far off from that.
Hahaha but that's when they say "oh he was just trolling" or "wow, you liberals can't even tell he was joking!"
I thought the whole point was that the dems are liars and the reps just openly say "how it is". Nothing changed, MAGA did not change their rhetoric. I'd really like to know what goes on in their heads.
