    Wow you have met them all? Incredible how some have time to deeply understand and meet a full nation worth of people.

    Little reminder: Those people you are alienating, those as per your and Lemmy judgement “Nazi, racists, uneducated, homophobic, traitors, fascists, unethical, uncompassionate and misogynistic” are voters with as much rights as you have to decide the course of the nation

    And guess what, YOU NEED THEM.

    Not in the sense of WOW WE NEED THEIR VOTES MAYBE WE SHOULD NOT TREAT THEN LIKE SHIT kind of thing, although you actually DO need those votes.

    I mean in the sense that these are the standard blue collar, hard workers of the country. Those plumbers, electricians, waste disposal, street sweepers, truck drivers, and so on

    You know, the people? The workers that the Dems and libs cry daily to protect their rights?

    Well those are the ones you are alienating with your message. The common man.

    Dems have become the party of the coastal elites. You can’t cry against the stablishment because you became the stablishment.

    So, it is alrighty if you think that alienating and pushing them common people outside of your leftist bubble is working for your cause.

    But remember why you lost the election. Try to understand why if “we think the others are SO BAD and shout it into the wind, why didn’t we win?”

    Because until you answer that question, you’ll be kept surely in permanent stunlock.

    So go, sure. Protest, picket and outrage against every little thing they do. Tire yourselves. Double down on the name calling.

    That surely will work wonders

      They didn’t need my daughter, which is why they voted for someone who would make her part of his domestic genocides. And that’s why they forced us both to leave the country. So I don’t need them.

      That’s bullshit, I’m working class and the majority of my coworkers are left leaning. And guess what? If a plumber shows up to our job site with a Trump sticker, he doesn’t get to work for us that day and is told why. There are plenty of people with the skills society needs that don’t openly display their hatred.

      Little reminder: Those people you are alienating, those as per your and Lemmy judgement “Nazi, racists, uneducated, homophobic, traitors, fascists, unethical, uncompassionate and misogynistic” are voters with as much rights as you have to decide the course of the nation

      Yep. They sure do. And I’m judging them for the direction they have chosen.

      How is it whenever anyone makes a post like this, it’s “ZOMG don’t alienate the magas.” Do you suppose there are folks who care enough about unity to tell the magas maybe they shouldn’t alienate all the non-magas in their lives? Do you tell magas that? I have multiple neighbors who had signs in their yard for YEARS proclaiming Biden voters or Democrats as traitors, morons, etc as they adjusted the mix of their handwritten signs every so often.

      Seems to me they have spent the past several years alienating me. Seems to me they have voted for policies and politicians that are explicitly intending to harm anyone who isn’t a white cisthet man. That includes quite a lot of groups that neither me nor anyone near me is a member of, but also includes groups that my children, my wife, and for that matter, a great many Trump voters themselves comprise.

      And it seems to me that, just like when there was a bully in school as a kid, it’s somehow the victim always asked to be the bigger person, not the bully. That was horseshit then, and it’s horseshit now.

      I mean in the sense that these are the standard blue collar, hard workers of the country. Those plumbers, electricians, waste disposal, street sweepers, truck drivers, and so on

      Ask me about my background. (no don’t, but also don’t assume I’ve never been one of these people and can’t identify with where they are coming from)

      Somehow the party with the worst record towards unions and labor has convinced all many of the folks with union jobs that they will save them, and that they’ll do so with a bsuinessman at the head of the country with a reputation for not paying his bills. And I should sympathize with that?

      I reject your scolding and premise at the most fundamental possible level.

      These people have spent more than the past 8 years being the loudest, rudest, most hateful group in any venue. On a personal level, we have avoided family gatherings to not have to listen to their shit, though somehow we eventually end up hearing it anyway. The policies they support obviously and openly hurt anyone not like them, and a very large percentage of the time they hurt themselves also. They are currently loudly cheering as our nation and government are being actively dismantled by the man they voted for.

      I have nothing left for these people but to keep anyone and anything I care about as far out of their path and notice as possible, and hope that 5 years from now we can be arguing about this and not decaying in a mass grave someplace after they work their way down the “First they came for” ladder until finally they find something my family needs to be sent to a camp for.

      Trump supporters are some of the most whiny, needy, and snowflake people i have ever had the misfortune to meet/hear. They are an extremely vocal minority that is going to fuck things up for everyone. And guess what? The common man ISNT a nazi. They aren’t bigots, they aren’t sexist, traitors or unethical. Those are the minority. And the real problem is that those people think they are allowed to express these views. Freedom of speech doesn’t mean freedom of consequences.

      ‘Your policy of “don’t support Nazis” is alienating the people who I relate to.’

      So go, sure. Protest, picket and outrage against every little thing they do. Tire yourselves. Double down on the name calling.

      Pot calling the kettle black lol.

        You have devaluated the meaning of the word Nazi then complain when people don’t think as you do. Check how that is working out

          The sheer willing ignorance of your comments are mind boggling. We have literal nazis doing the salutes in front of crowds as well as posting and talking about nazi racial ideologies. Please PLEASE work on your critical thinking and getting better at looking at things logically and from a mindset outside of your own little demographic. If you cant/won’t even make that attempt than you aren’t even worth having a discussion with.

      Yeah I always say, you should judge a person by the contents of their soul, not by how often they beat their wife.

      Surely my message will be seen by the millions of Trump voters on… checks notes …Mastadon

      How do people not realize they live in an entirely separate digital space from the right.

      Not just separate platforms (YouTube vs Rumble, Mastadon/Bsky vs X/Truth) but perfectly segregated by their personalized algorithms. They keep us separated by design. How many trans influencers are on truth social? Not enough for a user to view them as anything but an “other”…

      This post is reaching nobody that needs to see it unless it has a sarcastic title over the screenshot
