Sho does, annoys the hell outta me when it happens but I'd never disable that feature

As much as I want to agree with you, I don't find this to be the best way. There are people who are going to be lost causes, but we owe it to ourselves and the people we care about to try getting them back to reason. We all do dumb shit all our lives, we can't give up on people there's too much hate already.

There are some Trump supporters in my family and I was able to get through to one of my uncles. He used to be chill, smoke, and be in a jam band. No idea how someone so laid back can all the sudden have a whole room full of Trump memorabilia and repeating such hateful rhetoric.

It was so damn hard. Talked for hours, had to keep repeating things like 'please, I love you, why would I lie to you'. I had to open up more than I ever had to anyone. He tried leave and ignore me sometimes, but I really put myself in it. I really listened to him and why he went so hard into Trump. Argued about policies and everything under the sun. But I feel like I got my uncle back now, like REALLY got him back. It hasn't felt like this since before COVID.

I know this is probably cheesy but Under Pressure by Queen and David Bowie is what got me to start reaching out and I'm going to keep trying with others in my life

I used to respect the hell outta my boss. Chief engineer, man can fix and diagnose just about anything. Then he started talking about this guy and how great he is... Like how can someone be so smart yet so so dumb? How can you not apply the same critical thinking into politics as you do into your work? Where does the disconnect come in?

These foreign discourse accounts really are putting in work. Anyone that can rub two braincells together can see through this bag faith argument.

That's because they're one of those foreign agent accounts made to cause discourse

I was gonna say the same. Always hated candy corn till someone had me try this.

If it wasn't for gerrymandering and voter suspension they would've been extinct a while back. We might've even had something other than a 2 party system and ranked choice voting. People would be surprised by what could be if we didn't have a greedy minority in a big ass coat pretending we want to see them make all the money while they keep squeezing us for our pennies.

But hey, I should be thankful for my 30k a yr and paying for insurance that'll tell you to forget about surgery just slap a bandaid on it
