Let them fall deeper onto their echo chamber. The Dems had everything in their fingertips, media, funding, political power, and most importantly mainstream culture. Then they became pants on head retarded, pushed everything too hard and now in a death spiral because they can't look themselves in the mirror and admit they fucked up.
It's not just them, which is what gets me. It's every single leftist government in the West and EU. Every single one. They're all in this purity spiral doom loop and seem physically unable to even consider changing anything.

What I think happens is eventually economic factors mean they'll have to choose between abandoning capitalism for fascism or communism to keep the social programs going, or drop the social programs, and I don't know where these people are going to go when that occurs.

Like picture the UK being told that no, you literally can't afford to keep feeding infinity number of paki rape gangs for the privledge of them raping hundreds of thousands of white girls. I honestly could see their response being something like "What if we just force people to give them food and shelter at gunpoint? How many months or years of paki rape gangs does that buy us before the white people start to starve to death?"
 
I’m told this has been an unpopular move, generally. People really do believe the narrative about J6 even if they don’t think Trump is really responsible for it. Might be why he waited until term 2 to do it.
It happened because Trump lost the election, why would he wait until his 2nd term when he is on the way out the door?

Trump didn't pardon because he didn't think the feds will really go though with throwing the book at 1000+ people for trespassing. He thought that the gentleman's agreement to let the shit the previous admin do slide would hold. It didn't and Joe's admin did everything in it's power to fuck over Trump and his supporters. It is why Biden's admin pardoned so many people on the way out because Trump is bitter, jaded, and the gloves are now off.
 
Don't forget Trump is also President for America's 250th birthday. I expect nothing but the flashiest Semiquincentennial celebration imaginable.
And even if it won't:
At least it won't consist of half-naked Latinx genderblobs in rainbow dildosuits celebrating the LGBTQ-Indio-African diversity of Modern America.

There's a tiny shred of hope I have left for people in awful echo chambers, some kind of awakening or realization could save them.
So many posts or text snippets of people completely disowning family members over politics completely out of their control, that's not healthy for anyone, neither side deserves to lose contact with family members because of a perceived slight of "IF YOU AREN'T WITH US, YOU'RE AGAINST US!".
Cult mentality through and through.

Nooo, our heckin' asylum loophole! You can't do that, we were counting on that to keep the infinite wetback cannon charged and firing for a few more decades until the US collapses! You can't do this, white people aren't allowed to put their own interests first, the jews and chinese said so!
 
I think gays will be surprised that the only reason they are championed like they are is because of them being co-opted by the corporations and the government as some elaborate marketing campaign. It'll be rather sad when they realize no one cares about them as much as they thought they did.
It's kind of the other way round. Gays lobbied for corporations to champion them (around 90s-2000s) because they knew that corporate America is one of the most powerful entities in the world and hold a huge amount of sway in public discourse. Since gays on average are healthier, they rubbed shoulders with big businesses to push gay, lesbian and transgenders rights stuff to normalise it in the public discourse. A book called After The Ball goes into the jam, shame and desensitize strategy.
 
He's not wrong to be a little worried, but also, as I've pointed out to him, this a piece of policy that may or may not happen, that has uncertain parameters. I can't give him any actionable advice here.
Tell him to immediately, and without delay, swear fealty to God Emperor Trump, renounce the Queen King, and to beg for citizenship posthaste.
 
So what you're telling me is he'd need to find ~$4,000,000,000,000 dollars a year in tariff income if he does this if the gibsmedat programs are going to survive?
If individual income tax income is greatly diminished and tariff income doesn't materialize as idealized the government will realistically either have to shrink or allow the national deficit to grow even more which will eventually become an even bigger issue in the long-term.
 
Something incredibly redtardist I found checking bluesky. Everyone clapped tier, but looking past that it's pretty clear propaganda that you shouldn't listen to any "reasonable" criticisms of your ideology because then the spooky nazis will swarm like a hivemind. Pretty much promoting staying in your echo chamber with pretty words to dress it up.

Also I fucking love the mental picture of a bunch of nazis sitting at a bar having polite conversation with everyone as the bartender is in the fetal position behind the counter screaming "THE NAZIS ARE HERE, THE BAR IS DOOOOOMED."

I was at a shitty crustpunk bar once getting an after-work beer. One of those shitholes where the bartenders clearly hate you. So the bartender and I were ignoring one another when someone sits next to me and he immediately says, "no. get out."
And the dude next to me says "Hey i'm not doing anything. i'm a paying customer." and the bartender reaches under the counter for a bat or something and says, "out. now." and the dude leaves, kind of yelling. And he was dressed in sweatpants and a disney teeshirt, I noticed.

Anyway, I asked what that was about and the bartender was like, "you didn't recognize his face but it was Patton Oswalt. smug expression and stuff. You get to recognize him."

And I was like ohok and he continues.

"You have to nip it in the bud immediately. This guy comes in and he's all nice, polite. And you serve him because you don't want to cause a scene. And after that he becomes a regular and after a while he brings Robert Blake and that dude is cool too.

And then THEY bring friends and the friends bring friends and they stop being cool and then you realize, oh shit, this is a wife-murderers bar now. And it's too late because they're entrenched and if you kick them out they cause a PROBLEM. So you have to shut them down.

And I was like "oh damn." and he said "yeah you have to ignore their reasonable arguments because their goal is to be a wife murderer."

And then he went back to ignoring me. But I haven't forgotten that at all.
 
From what I've seen, most gays really hate troons, like a lot. Gay men and Women don't want to date other faggots larping as the sex they find attractive. Lesbians want real pussy and Fags want real dick, none of this Frankenstein shit
Thank you, but I guess I should have made it more clear. I was asking about the flag, and what his gay supporters may think about thr ban.

Edit: @XYZpdq Jr. thank you. It's an interesting dichotomy between left and right winging gay people.

I hope so too. I have a friend who is in so deep that she is convinced that her and her wife would get hate crimed for being gay (in SoCal of all place). The fear is real to her, and it breaks by heart seeing my best friend like this. I hope one day she realizes that the left aren't her friends and that things aren't that bad.
