If I have any Trump supporting acquaintances ever show a sliver of remorse to me, I'm going to bury them in ridicule. I know it's not effective and is counter productive, but I can say this knowing 1. It's never going to happen and 2. Idgaf and I'm taking my shots when I get them, because fuck these people all to Hell. I've already cut out a brother, I will happily burn these connections.

Nah, don’t mock the remorseful it’ll dig them in. Mock the unrepentant

It’s frustrating, but you’re right.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I know. I work surrounded by trumpers while being a semi passing trans woman. I hate them. I want to rage at them. And also I need to stomach my emotions because I’m the minority here. I’ve known my fair share of hillbillies, and I’m the only trans person they’ll ever know. So yeah I’ll have to act the model and they get to vice signal in front of me all day long and it isn’t fair and I hope that when we die we have to stand before a god and defend our actions.

But yeah I have to be willing to accept remorse and forgive those who repent and change. But I don’t know how I can ever trust them after what they’ve decided to put me and my people through. People like me will die because their feelings got hurt. And that’s not even something new.

Oh honey, I’m so sorry.

[–] damnedfurry@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

Yeah, what kind of dumbass strategy is this? Is OP trying to keep losing elections?

[–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 16 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Tell them Trump didn't win, Putin did.

Since Trump is just a Russian asset that is selling US state secrets to Putin.

I have been, and they don't care. Nothing has changed over the past 8 years, he's just been a bit louder more recently. There's been pretty solid evidence to anyone that has the most basic sense of reasoning, that he has been a Russian puppet since the beginning. They don't care. It's not something that we can use as an attack, because it's either "fake" it they don't care.

Funny story, Trump actually can't get a security clearance, so he'll be doing the Presidency blind for the most part.

[–] RalphWolf@lemmy.ca 1 points 6 months ago

I don't believe the president needs one. He gets it by being elected.

Someone needs to keep a record. Every action the Trump admin takes and chapter, page and paragraph of where that appears in Project 2025. Just to demonstrate the degree to which he's doing exactly what was planned in that plan he tried to distance himself from and doesn't support but also considered the "plan for our movement".

Really emphasize the degree to which the leopards outright told everyone they were going to be eating faces. Up front, across hundred of pages in detail.
