Summary
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) is organizing grassroots events to oppose Trump’s policies, arguing that “Trumpism does not believe in democracy.”
In an op-ed, Sanders criticized Trump’s ties to Elon Musk, federal budget cuts, and media influence, warning of authoritarianism.
He cited Trump’s recent post likening himself to Napoleon and accused him of disregarding the rule of law.
The White House dismissed Sanders’ concerns, accusing Democrats of authoritarian tactics.
It must be repeated and repeated and repeated and repeated and repeated until the message gets through their thick stubborn skulls. It’s how MAGA indoctrinated them in the first place and the only way to deprogram them.
Sadly they are as likely to believe the dems as much as the dems will believe the reps. The only way the magats will come to believe is when each and every single one of them start to suffer, until then it is “someone else that is being hurt, not me!” Once it finally comes home they will see, but by then it may be too late.
If you keep repeating something over and over again people on average are more likely to believe it, especially if it’s multiple people all repeating the same point. It’s part of social psychology: conformity and is the basis of psychological warfare.
Bannon and Cambridge Analytica used this to great effect via social media. Now the bosses of social media have fallen in line behind trump, this message and similar ones MUST be repeated.
This isn’t a debate where whomever has the best standing with the audience or the best argument will win.
This is a shouting contest.
Every 10 second lie they spout will take 1 minute to debunk. The only way to win is to repeatedly shout a 10 second retort, finishing with “read this!” and SHOVE a list of evidence in their face.
They won’t look at the list for the first two dozen times, but by the third or fourth dozen they’ll take a look, that’s all we can do via the soap box.
I didn’t poo-poo the idea, it is just going to take a lot of effort to get through to them. Please, keep trying, all of you (I will be dealing with something similar as a “Temu Trump” is trying to run/ruin our country as well and he has the 3 word method down, good thing Trudeau is gone and will hopefully be replaced by someone I can support).
It is just infuriating every time I check r/republican and they are stating Trumps words as fact though they have already seen that is not the case, hence why I said they would each need to suffer to see this. “Fuck you, got mine” is very prevalent down there and to a lesser degree up here as well. (I check every so often to see just how insane it is getting over there)
