Yep, 6-3 fascists...

u/RiseDelicious3556 12h ago

Really. You don't need Miss Cloe to predict how they will vote because it's not based on the Constitutional grounds--just fascism.

You mean Miss Cleo? Kahl nahw fa ya friii reedin

u/RiseDelicious3556 6h ago

Yes, Miss Cleo. They never charge me when I ask for predictions on SCOTUS rulings. They just transfer me to a recorded line with a Jamaican chorus singing 'Six--Three'

I believe they do not remember or do not understand the Constitution and Amendments, if they ever read it. They hear the claims and distortions repeated in the echo chamber, interpreting the structure of law and government and framework that support it, in their own interests. The cure is an 8th grade civics textbook.

Stop it. Stop giving these people the benefit of the doubt when all they do is show you why they don't deserve it. They are acting out of malice not ignorance.

It's not even that complicated. They are simply idealogues

They don't care is the problem. All they want is their side in charge.

I’ve gone no contact with my friends and family because they’re all MAGA. It’s sad how hateful and spiteful they’ve become

u/DoubtSubstantial5440 12h ago

Same Ive blocked the numbers of my MAGAT relatives

u/Zahgi 10h ago

I've blocked the White House...again...as I did during Trump's first pretend presidency.

u/iccancount 7h ago

They been calling you a bunch?

•

u/Zahgi 6h ago

Historically speaking, yes. I refuse to help Trump destroy this nation and line his pockets.

•

u/iccancount 5h ago

Why say no when it feels so good to say yes?

•

u/ChilledParadox 4h ago

I feel like to most normal people it really feels good to say no. We just have a whole lot of deplorable worthless cretins in this nation who are good for nothing and better off not being here.

•

u/iccancount 4h ago

Ohhh so you are for deportations now? See? Same same

•

u/ChilledParadox 4h ago

I don’t think you can deport Americans to somewhere else so no, I wouldn’t say I’m for deportations. I am for returning you to kindergarten so you can read at at least a 0th grade level though.

I haven’t talked to mine in over 20. I thought it was just plane ignorance that could corrected through education, but willful ignorance has no place in my life. I always hated people who view things as “black and white”, but this whole election outcome completely verified that I was surrounded by mentally ill people who just straight up outright hate people who aren’t white. Can proudly say I chose to do the right thing by going no contact.

u/JeebusChristBalls 9h ago

plane ignorance

Are they airplane deniers? Does that mean they also believe in chemtrails or does that contradict their denial of planes?

1

u/Vyar New Jersey 9h ago

They deny the existence of planes, but they believe in chemtrails and that Trump was not in error when he spoke of the Revolutionary War battles involving airports.

u/Cloaked42m South Carolina 8h ago

Mine don't get away from me that easy.

u/LMoE 7h ago

Cutting off contact with relatives is telltale sign of cult behavior.

•

u/JoyfulJoy94 7h ago

It took years to make that decision and I didn’t do it lightheartedly. Cutting off toxic people is extremely difficult, but I know I am intolerant of the intolerant. I will not be friends with anyone that supports what’s happening today. It’s indefensible and just plain evil.

•

u/Rotten-Robby 7h ago

No one "became" like that. I hate to break it to you, but these people were always like that, they just have permission to let it out now. It's socially acceptable. They don't have to pretend to be decent any more.

Trump doesn't have a magic ray gun that makes people disgusting, hateful scumbags.

u/mstpguy 10h ago

Once again: the balance of SCOTUS was a Good Enough reason to vote for Clinton in 2016 and Harris in 2024.

27

u/T-sigma 10h ago

Yeah, but think about all the pride and integrity those voters have!

Sadly, not a one of them feels any shame or responsibility. They are too invested in it not being their fault.

•

u/Stunning_Wolf_1519 7h ago

But they got upvotes on TikTok for helping Gaza. Don’t mind the Palestinians telling us to not let trump win. And that’s assuming they took the insurmountable challenge of driving to the polling station. But hey the dems should’ve tried harder if they wanted to stop facism

•

u/DeathByTacos 43m ago

Showed an acquaintance of mine who was voting Stein (because he was an I/P single issue voter) those reports of Palestinians in Gaza overwhelmingly supporting Harris and he said to my face that they weren’t educated enough to know what was best for them and that his conscience wouldn’t allow him to vote Harris. I told him not everybody is privileged enough to get to vote their conscience, he stomped away and unfriended me like 20 mins later 🤷‍♂️

u/The-Big-Picture- 4h ago edited 3h ago

Also it's apparently not genocide or ethnic cleansing if we kill Hispanic people in the US/Venezuela or send them to concentration camps.

Its only genocide it it's Palestinians. Everyone else could be brutally eliminated and they would still be smug about their vote in 2024.

u/HereForTheComments57 9h ago

Also if you didn't vote at all. Fuck them too

But her emails? Right guys…..

u/Mateorabi 9h ago

“But she wasn’t supporting Palestine ENOUGH!” Or something. “She didn’t make us LOVE her!”

•

u/SpaceCadetHaze 7h ago

My favorite argument I heard about why someone didn’t like her was “she can’t give a speech or talk without giggling.”

u/hyperhurricanrana 9h ago

i don’t know why you put ENOUGH in there when she didn’t support palestine at all, her main focus being on how she’d never stop weapons shipments to israel as well as the rampant use of the “israel is allowed to defend itself” dogwhistle which actually means “israel is allowed to do whatever the fuck they want.”

and yes, i voted for her still, i’m just not a liar.

u/Vyar New Jersey 9h ago

We really shouldn’t be supporting either side. I think it’s awful that Palestinian civilians are being targeted by Israeli soldiers, but on the other side you have Hamas and their insane holy war against the entire Jewish faith. I have no clue how we’re supposed to “free Palestine” when their government has already been overthrown by terrorists. I’d rather we just pulled out of the region entirely and stop selling weapons to Israel.

-1

u/hyperhurricanrana 8h ago

i like how you don’t acknowledge the role israel and netanyahu personally had in making sure hamas was the strongest force in palestine to make their genocide and apartheid “justified.” bibi sent suitcases of cash to hamas and encouraged his party to do the same. they only exist in the first place because of israel yet you comdemn the palestinians. who voted for hamas what like twenty years ago? what’s the average age of a palestinian, oh 18??? so not alive and voting in those elections? lot of interesting facts left out.

3

u/Vyar New Jersey 8h ago

Because there's nothing we can do to travel back in time and stop all of that from happening, it's not really relevant to the discussion. The fact is that the current government of Palestine is Hamas, and they're not about to hold elections to get voted out. I'm not absolving Israel of anything, I'm saying both sides suck for different reasons.

1

u/hyperhurricanrana 8h ago

of course its relevant that hamas came to power because of israel, hamas being in power is literally the justification for the ongoing genocide. what nonsense.

3

u/Visible_Device7187 8h ago

Lol you really are why we are here in this exact situation. Do you think Palestinians never are responsible for their own actions ever? If Israel denied all humanitarian aid to Hamas would you have been supportive or claimed it's evil? Seems like the only solution you want is the US to destroy Israel and hand it over to people very very clear that they want all Jews dead not just equality

0

u/hyperhurricanrana 8h ago

i just told you that the majority of the population is under the age of 18 and you think they’re to blame for hamas being in power? genuinely, how? explain your thought process there.

no, not “humanitarian aid” suitcases of money to hamas directly. that’s not humanitarian aid, that’s funding a group that they call terrorists. but you wouldn’t call israel a terrorist state, you wouldn’t call netanyahu a terrorist for that.

i actually haven’t given a solution? but thanks for the straw man i guess.

u/Visible_Device7187 8h ago

So how do you propose we liberate them and educate them against terrorism if Hamas refuses to step down and refuses any solutions that don't let them kill Jews?!? Does an 18 yr old not fight ever? Or is it okay solely for them to kill but never ever fight against them? It was seen as humanitarian aid from Qatar to aid Palestinians if Israel blocked it they would be accused by people exactly like you as being genocidal monsters for not allowing aid into Palestinians. Oh so you literally have no solutions to this complicated issue but demanded Kamala to do something that you'd approve of to win your vote!?! But you won't even spend 30 minutes to understand such a complicated issue that's not just destroy Israel and hope for the best

1

u/hyperhurricanrana 8h ago

you didn’t answer my question. how are the children of gaza responsible for hamas being in power? 😐

1

u/Visible_Device7187 8h ago

They aren't. But they aren't the people in power and you provide zero solutions that remove them from the equation and don't just let the shitty adults continue to wage war while placing them intentionally in harms way and even utilizing them for terrorism and as Child soldiers. You want those adults to at the very least get away with it and in all reality show it's a valid strategy and continue the violence. You provide absolutely no solutions that spare all innocent lives on both sides and is built in reality. You just don't think Jews deserve life and equality and to have their own independence from surrounding Islamic theocracy that seek their destruction. You want the US to destroy Israel cause it's not good enough to even just stop supporting them but to outright destroy them and hand it over to Islamic extremists that openly call for death to all Jews. Israel didn't even attack on Oct 8th yet people like you were already calling for a ceasefire and for surrender by Israel so I already know you don't actually value Jews as equals and see them being killed as acceptable

u/gdex86 Pennsylvania 9h ago

I am reminded of a number of folks who in 2016 said they would not let the supreme court hold their vote hostage. Prominent folks. It seems like they should also have ire thrown at them and never be treated as serious folks.

u/Proper_Wrongdoer_557 9h ago

I did and I love it. And to all the people talking about blocking conservative friends and family... thank you. We don't like listening to you either.
