    They’re completely immune to hypocrisy, unfortunately

      Hypocrisy is one of their core values.

        This is correct. It took me years to cure my liberal belief that hypocrisy is not a virtue for these assholes (conservatism). So much time wasted on “gotchas” about it.

          You can’t logic someone out of a belief they didn’t logic into.

          They’re all feelings. You gotta get them afraid of the right things. Like billionaires.

            But it’s much simpler to make them fear jews, trans people, or muslims

              Mark Twain said it is much easier to fool someone than it is to convince them they are being fooled.

                Can we fool them into being decent people?

              I did the “ok, but why” argument with a MAGA I am forced to interact with on the trans issue.

              He ended up admitting how “well, what am I supposed to do if I meet a really cute girl, and we go out, and then she had a penis!” I dunno, what would you do there? Maybe realize something about yourself and stop being a hateful fuck.

                A few trans people were killed in the similar situation and that’s horrible

                  It wouldn’t surprise me the way the MAGA people act. It short circuits their brain and they don’t know what to think.

                    One can always say no, if they’re uncomfortable to continue. Should work both ways

                    Also in Russia we had a situation when a straight couple lived for 1.5 years together. But then the woman admitted that she used to have a penis. He killed her because he was anxious about what bros would think of him.

          So much time wasted on “gotchas” about it.

          I feel your pain friend, intimately.
