    It’s just rubs MAGA’s noses in the fact that they were wrong, which anyone who’s ever met knows will just make them double down.

    This is true but man is it an infuriating property of humans. It’s a stupid emotional response because that’s easier. Just be mature enough to grow and change. It’s okay. Impossible request, I know.

      Oh…

      Ok, if you think telling MAGA to “just grow up” and genuinely think that it will work, and isn’t the exact fucking thing I just explained wouldn’t work…

      Then you haven’t been paying attention to anything in the last decade.

      Like, just the sheer ignorance to think that no one has ever tried telling them that.

      The goal for the next month is “win elections”.

      A month from now when your dumbass plan won’t help trump in the midterms, by all means go for it. Then you can try asking Billionaires to not be greedy assholes too, I don’t know why no one has had that idea before.

      Just be mature enough to grow and change.

      I’m sure telling them that is gonna be super effective and not just piss them off and make them vote R out of spite.

        I’m not sure how you inferred from me lamenting that it’s impossible for people to simply grow up and admit fault, that I think that it is possible. You seem to have read my post… not even backwards, but just wrong.

          Well, looks like I’m not the only one…

          If everyone seems to have missed your point, what do you think is the problem?

          1. No one else can understand your clear message.

          2. You fucked up and it only seems clear to you because you already know what you meant to say.

          That’s a rhetorical question, I won’t even see an answer if you comment one.

            I’m so glad the conversation got to the point where we can contextualize your statements within the framework of your personality.

            Aside from the possibility of me being unclear, your extremely aggressive response is uncalled for. Furthermore, “everyone” is not evident given there’s a total of 3 votes on the post.

            My intended point was it would be nice if people were better, and could admit fault. They can’t. That’s a common human behavior that’s infuriating. They’d rather double down. I was agreeing with you.
