Let's begin with this: at some level deep within your conscious mind, you know that Trump not only does not really care about you, he DESPISES you. Think about it---do you think this arrogant prissy germaphobe would enjoy spending time in your world without gold-plated toilets?
And, does it not bother you---at least occasionally---that the current covid death total of over 610,000 and climbing is largely due to Trump being more concerned about preserving his power and increasing his wealth than the welfare of, you know, the "little people" like you and me?
Finally, when you say you are not vaccinated because the vaccines were "rushed" and are "experimental" and you "don't want to be used as a lab rat",----pay attention to this next part---YOU ARE LYING THROUGH YOUR GODDAM TEETH! You have permitted the Trump cult to provide camouflage for the hatred and resentment that you used to realize was irrational and shameful. He has sold you the lie that by remaining unvaccinated and unmasked you are somehow wounding President Biden and his supporters and, for now, that is all that matters.
Many of you will pay for your stubborn willful ignorance with your lives and that, truthfully, does not much bother me. But, it will also cost the lives of some of your children and OUR children and that is why I will actively oppose you and discriminate against you each time I have the opportunity.
A decade from now, if you survive, you will be ashamed of the words you speak and the decisions you make today.

(38,958 posts)The people to whom you direct these thoughts are
1). Not reading this web forum and
2). Operate on emotion, not anything resembling a logical argument or presentation of facts.
So in the end the argument you present and two dollars will buy you a cup of coffee.

(14,118 posts)Cultists are immune to logic. They only accept illogic which is why we're having so
many problems. What we need are laws with harsh penalties to minimize the
trouble they cause. They might not even respond to that but it least it would get them out of the way.

(50,069 posts)They do not care in the least whether Trump likes them or not.
They don't care if they are responsible for the death or suffering of others, even children.
In fact some of them get off on it, love the power trip or get a high from watching people suffer.
They have no sense of right or wrong, so killing, cheating, lying doesn't bother them in the least.
And many of the GOP are malignant narcissists. Self-centered, irresponsible, indulgent, immature.
They don't care about honest, responsibility, integrity.
So for many of the GOP, doing the right thing is not important to them as they have no inner moral core.
America has a crisis; psychological health, character, morality of many Americans is severely lacking.

(63,398 posts)They might say that theyre ashamed and that theyve seen the light, but as soon as another Trump-esque candidate starts spewing the same racist bullshit, these allegedly reformed cultists will immediately prostrate themselves again.

(4,174 posts)You're trying to frame their mindset through your own perspective, not theirs. They will never regret their actions, they live in a bubble that validates all their behaviors and they aren't giving that up, not even in the face of death.

(11,572 posts)They choose TFG to be their tool to hurt us dems and libs. They don't care who is president as long as they're mean, hateful and selfish as they are.
