      Im sorry no, fuck these fucking brain dead morons.

      I have less than 0 desire to learn their idiot vernacular to try to convince them of anything.

      Just ask them to do a simple algebra problem in their head, and then spell the word procrastinate.

      If they cannot do that, just tell them they are too stupid to make decisions, sit down, shut the fuck up, we’re gonna do this other thing now, and it doesn’t matter if you’re too dumb to understand what that means.

      … how many of them are closeted gays and cucks?

      They want to be dominated, so just dominate them. They only understand and respect force, so be forceful.

          Pushing the benefits of something and focusing on the benefits that the target audience actually care about is usually a good way to get them on board with your idea.

          Because you keep conceeding to idiot racists and petty narcissist tyrants who don’t even believe in democracy whom you will never be able to meaningfully convince of anything anyway.

          I’m from these dumb fuck regressives.

          I know what I’m talking about.

          You speak to them with insults, violence and threats, just barely polite enough to not immediately incite them to assault you on the spot, otherwise, they do not listen.

          We keep losing because the 1/3rd of this country that the entire political system is rigged to over represent will always default to being dumbfuck greedy idiots.

          You can’t convince them of anything consciously because they are the world grand masters at cognitive dissonance and delusion. They are too stupid to formulate a coherent worldview, you will not be able to change their worldview without making their lizard brain activate.

          You can spend 10x the effort of explaining things to them like theyre a baby, it’ll stick for a day, then they’ll hear a shiboleth style conservative ‘joke’, a cultic thought stopping cliche, and that understanding you imparted them with immediately evaporates.

          I repeat, they are literally too stupid to actually have a coherent worldview.

          The Republicans know this.

          Its why they consistently do racist/socialist/lqbtq scaremongering, and it consistently works.

          They literally have enlarged amygdalas, the fear processing center of the brain.

          They literally only truly understand fear.

            I want to disagree with this but I can’t. Conservatives genuinely react so well to being bullied and talked down to. It’s apparently what they want 🤷

              Trust me I wish I was wrong.

              Tried for 2 decades to do the reasoning thing.

              It doesn’t matter, it doesn’t work.

              They don’t argue in good faith, because most of them literally are not capable of arguing in good faith.

              You make them your bitch, and force or trick them to realize your way is better for both you and them.

            You can dislike them all you want but, like it or not, they get to vote the same as you. You can choose to be angry or you can meet them where they’re at and have a chance to inspire the change you want to see. Your choice

              I’ll meet them where they’re at and tell them they’re a fucking moron.

              I also don’t get to vote, because of them, so maybe stop pretending this is a fair fight.

            There’s a difference between capitulation and talking to them using language they understand.

            I’m as ready to go nuclear as you are, but until most others see it that way, this is where we’re at.

              Most others do see it this way.

              They just got you convinced you’re outnumbered.

              You’re not.

              They just own the media, the social media, and only ever get better and better at determining who does and doesn’t get to vote.

              No point in conceeding shit to bullies, they’ll just keep bullying you.

          You got the life experience of a 12 yo if you think being reasonable to a diehard conservative will have any effect on them other than making them internally chuckle that you’re trying to take them seriously, in good faith.

            And you think posturing as a steamroller is going to be any better? People will hand wave you away if all you’ve got is aggression. You’re full of hot air and all that does is delegitimize you in a debate.

            You’re not entirely wrong, you’re just an asshole about it. Even if I agreed with you fully I’d still want to avoid you.

      The woke left want to take away your traditional transportation! Trains are our heritage and what made our country so great! Trains burn big beautiful clean coal, some say the cleanest.

      Interesting, considering (motorized) public transit is not that old, and bikes are even newer (cca 80 and 20 years prior to the automobile, respectively, depending on location)

        IIRC Paris had horse-drawn omnibuses back in the 1600’s, but then they were banned by the aristocracy.

        Yeah but public transit was a lot more affordable for most people for a long time. It was pretty recently that it became normal for most people to own a car.

          Reframing a topic in verbiage that’s amenable to your audience isn’t lying, it’s just not being a moron who knows how to talk to people.

          I wouldn’t call it lying. The traditional means of transportation is walking, people have been doing it for thousands of years.

          I know people do that and while this reframing is not exactly a lie, it’s interesting it works even when they are lumping walking (Homo erectus) and buses, trains, trams and presumably bikes (all 19ᵗʰ century) while excluding cars (basically early 20ᵗʰ century)

            If all transport was bikes, trains and trams - you most likely still can get everywhere by foot. If all transport was cars - not neccessarily; is what I think is the main thing that separates it from straight up deception
