Let me break this down:

Openly defying court orders multiple times= dictatorship Threatening to jail political opponents despite them being pardoned= dictatorship Deporting American citizens who have legal citizenship= dictatorship Can’t put it any simpler.

    This point should be understood by all - they’re programmed to get a dopamine hit in the moment by pissing you off.

    They’re not arguing in good faith and all the time you spend making rational statements is a waste. Nobody is keeping a scorecard that punishes them for losing an intellectual discussion.

    The opposition to MAGA has to find a new path, because applying rational arguments in discussions ain’t going to work.

      This is why calling them weird was sort of effective. It’s not a fact, it’s an opinion. Now, I think it’s a widely held opinion, but the point is it wasn’t something they could argue with. It was sort of playing the game they’ve been playing.

        Gotta stop going high. We know their tactics, we know how their brains work. We need to stop trying to devastate them with irrefutable facts, they don’t care. Turn their own methods against them, destroy them in their language. The left has better trolls and meme lords, let’s use them.

        Playground antics can work on these types of people. First, you have to understand who they think they are, and what they take pride in. Then attack them incessantly based on the knowledge of what constitutes their ego.
