They quite literally have to live in their own world to be able to do this. This is how they get into this mindset that is really easily destroyed by facts and basic reasoning. Also living in the real world. Which they do not do.
It's like a stand up bit sometimes with how divorced from reality it is. Like the decade long "Literal Nazis" spiel. It all unfolds into a gigantic magic eye poster that looks dumber and dumber the more you unfold and the more you stare at it.

If you were being completely charitable to them and taking it at face value and just say "Yeah sure they're all nazis let's go with that." It becomes extra stupid to trace the steps they took to come to that conclusion and get where they are now.

1) They had a candidate so genuinely unlikable and pointless that everyone, including the minorities - voted for the "nazi" over them. While said people know what a nazi is beforehand instead of it being a 1940s surprise. And then their victory surely must mean the country is majority nazis. Also Israel is eager to keep taking Nazi money and try and enter into talks with nazis because now they're nazis too and the ADL is a nazi organization circa 3 days ago 2025.

Oh and it's so important to fight for the soul of the nation during a nazi takeover impending that their party wants to start a new foreign war to send all their anti-nazi guys with guns there instead of keep them here to fight the nazis if they win.

2) Simultaneously accepting the previous premises on top of "No courting or reasoning with nazis ever" But if you campaign super hard in the swing states maybe 10-20% of them will be nice and change their minds. And you should redouble your efforts to import minorities en masse to what you have time and time again called a racist hateful dangerous nazi occupied country that will soon be ruled by a dictator. You know! Out of the good of your heart!

3) And now with the power of inside out smuggling at risk minorities INTO neo-nazi germany now you can bravely cancel out the nazi votes so YOU can rule the country full of "irredeemable nazis" yourself. Who will surely change their minds once you're extra mean and condescending to them for another round of 4 to 8 years, And pedro's and mohammad's votes will work to tip the scale despite believing your opponent only won because of russian rigged elections and that the ones you lost were illegitmate.

4) Having 8+ years to prepare for the nazis with constant MSM drum banging and doom saying on twitter/skype/discord/reddit and your voting bloc's answer to this super serious for realsies this time pinkie promise looming threat is to move into the city, cultivate zero practical skills, and engage in white collar laptop labor in between binging shows and saying nobody should own a gun.


TL;DR: Deeply unserious faggots, the lot of em. :story:
 


Approximately 10,000 active-duty troops are set to deploy to the southern border to support Joint Task Force-North. The force will include rotary-wing assets and unmanned aerial systems. Marines from Camp Pendleton are expected to arrive imminently and have been directed to prepare for contingency operations, including rapid-reaction and sustained long-term missions.
- U.S. Transportation Command has been tasked with planning logistics for potential operations at the southern border.
- President Trump is expected to decide within 90 days whether to invoke the Insurrection Act at the U.S.-Mexico border.

In the coming weeks, substantial groundwork is anticipated to establish a larger military presence. It remains unclear whether this will involve operations targeting cartels near the border or extending into Mexico. Notably, airlift operations are expected to commence shortly as part of this expanded effort.
The Marine deployment is being treated as a real-world emergency contingency operation, involving the issuance of weapons, ammunition, and equipment consistent with the deployment of a Marine Expeditionary Unit per Fox News.
 
If they had just acted rationally about him and in interacting with him a decade ago none of this would be happening. You know they could’ve easily misled him into signing very 1-sided “compromises” that mainly benefited the swamp but give lip service to Trump’s ideas back in 2017. Instead they made the most powerful president in generations. Probably the biggest own goal tracing back to one man since Germany sent Lenin to Russia.
Also getting shot at and surviving, they initially made him a martyr.
 
Maybe if they're already fence-sitting types, but the leftists will just call him a misogynist, racist, transphobe Nazi who only cares about big business profits and billionaires like they always do. All the objective economic measures in the world won't change that.
Hippies existed too, and they were called kooks and weirdos when they tried it. That's why the Dems in the 70s to 2000s were normie-passing corporate stooges. It's only after 2016 that the deviants got control of the party and drove it into madness.
There was an assignment where a black girl was asked to write about cultural appropriation, and one of the requirements was to touch on why a particular white musician might want to mimic aspects of black music and fashion.

She was unable to understand the question. She knew it was "bad" and that it was "oppression", because that's what she'd been told, but was totally unable to put herself in another's mind.
TBF, the assignment itself was a loaded assignment where the teacher expected an Appropriation is bad essay. Mediocre, but not failing, students try to divine what the professor's opinion is to get higher grades. So I wouldn't jump to the conclusion of the student not having empathy.
 
Blueskyfags are now saying Trump doesn't represent the US because of TV ratings. Knowing this fatass he probably cherrypicked the fuck out of it just to fit his narrative.

Also apparently Duck Dynasty is coming back and they're melting down over that as well because all of those evil racist shows are gonna come back.

I wonder why tv viewership is low I'll have to send a telegraph to the networks to have this sorted out truly the newspapers must have made a misprint

Trump signs executive order and says US policy is now “to cooperate with its regional partners to eliminate Houthi capabilities and operations, deprive it of resources, and thereby end its attacks on US personnel and civilians, US partners, and maritime shipping in the Red Sea.”


## **TRUMP ORDERS RUBIO TO CONDUCT A REVIEW OF UNITED NATIONS PARTNERS, NGOs, AND CONTRACTORS THROUGH WHICH USAID WORKS IN YEMEN, AND IDENTIFY ENTITIES THAT HAVE CONNECTIONS TO THE HOUTHIS**

The example student is black girl being asked about white people appropriating black culture she gets a passing grade if she turns in a paper

Alternatively, Trump is just riding on the coattails of Biden's success, and anything positive Trump achieves is just leftovers from the previous Democrat president.

And if #48 is a Democrat who runs the economy into the ground, that one is Trump's fault.

How do you go from "Holy shit middle east is hell. Let's work to fix this. Oh, you better invest $600 billion into USA."

The student wasn't able to come up with off-the-cuff hypotheticals even after multiple tries in a tutoring environment. This is a problem even outside of ideological assignments; many students don't understand how to ask themselves questions at all. You could be right that the way they're taught reinforces that problem (sort of like illiteracy does), but it's clear when the gears just aren't turning.

The marginal ones are more interesting, because they make attempts at questions in clunky and unintuitive ways that don't relate back to what they were trying to figure out. There's hope with those ones.
 
Annexing Canada is just him trolling, or I hope it is. If Canadians suddenly become Americans guess which political party wins forever?

I agree otherwise, I've been saying for a long time the future of this country is balkanization, there are simply too many irreconcilable differences between the parties and things keep getting more and more volatile. The only question is how much will people actually care if Civil War 2 happens, people are much more comfortable these days than in the 1860s.
A different wrench in a new civil war would be the fact that you will be hard pressed to find anyone willing to kill their brethren for the modern Democratic Party.
 
Literally textbook "perfect is the enemy of good" shit. There's no way those types aren't either a mkultra victim or intentional op designed to waste the time of anyone on that side of the liberty vs authority divide.

"He promised a silver platter and only brought me everything I wanted on a polished ceramic platter from ancient China. OBVIOUSLY I'm not voting for him."
And again, it was still within the first 24 hours. In my opinion this was day 1. Libertarians are no better than dems when it dems to their religious like ideology
