There are a couple replies I made that weren’t replied to so maybe click on later toots to see some of those
Edit: I just clicked the link and it looks so different in browser. I’m talking about my “discussion” with the enlightened truth sandwich (Damn dunning-kruger for giving the most wrong people names that include “truth”)
Someone who’s this ideologically committed to the Democratic party is not worth your time and energy. They don’t realize that the Democrats are a slow slide into fascism instead of a fast plunge, because they probably stand to benefit either through a certain flavor of capital gains or through being a part of a political machine.
Psychologically, the more hostile the debate gets,the more likely they are to double down.
Talking to these “true believers” feels like talking to cult members these days. I hate their smug insistence on being “right” about everything.
I think a big part of this cultish behavior stems from a difference in how we look at elections. To us electoralism is a tool that’s one part of many possible tools we use to build revolution. For them elections are part of their identity. This is team sports without the balls :/
