When conservatives whine at you like this, just remind them that they are in a cult. When they get mad at you, accuse them if 'censoring' your free speech.
Go further than that, tell them they're mindless sheep, that they're cucks to the ruling class, that they fall in line to whoever makes them feel good and don't have an independant bone in their body. Remind them that Trump had 4 years with full control and accomplished zero of his promises, and that they're idiots for falling for the same trick. Remind them that they're the loud, stupid, obnoxious ones who have to be placated by the world or they throw a tantrum. Tell them when Trump dies nobody will remember the people who supported him and nobody will help his followers when they're in trouble.
Seriously, we have to take gloves off and find ways to hurt them on a deeply personal level. Because we should have been doing this from the start. Because it's all they really understand.
I told a former schoolmate that he was acting like a snowflake and he lost his freaking mind. I expected it to bug him but holy crap.
This is what I wish more people on the left understood, that they are GIVING us their vulnerabilities every time they open their mouth and we're ignoring every opportunity.
I can cite so many examples of this. Like, you can literally just call them the thing they hate and it will set them off to a degree that I think would startle most non-conservatives.
It's because to normal, well-adjusted, adult humans, being called a "cuck" by a stranger is just funny, it's like being "booed" by a stranger, it's more weird than anything personal or offensive. But the reason he's using that word against you is because he himself is deeply, profoundly sensitive to the word and all it implies.
They get massively triggered by specific words, and the left is always overthinking it, trying to come up with "smart" ways to fight and debate. When all you have to do is call them "weak sissies with no chin too dumb to know how voting works" and you will make their faces melt in rage, they will literally think about it all day. It doesn't even matter if it's accurate, and it certainly doesn't matter if someone on "your side" thinks it's problematic to use gendered slurs or ableism. It's time to start twisting the knives out there.
This. So much this. Im tempted to try at the House just to see how well a campaign built on exactly this and progressive economics works
That would be FANTASTIC, I don't know if you mean state house or federal, either way, imagine if every election there were more leftist/progressive candidates running than unopposed conservatives? I say this ALL THE TIME, that you can make a much bigger impact on your country by being more involved with politics, not less.
Learn who's running in your town, your county, your state, get to know your neighborhood, find out what people are thinking about, talking about, who they trust and not, just gather information and get practice being social and making friends. You can do so much to ensure that the people who prop up the foundations of our federal systems are people who actually represent us.
Like how we can’t call them gay anymore because gays get upset I worry about calling them cucks…but cucks like humilation so ¯\(ツ)/¯
damn that was satisfying to read
