I have to be honest. I initially wanted the people to get what they signed up for but the pace at which we're turning into a Soviet satellite state has me terrified.

Unfortunately it’s the truth that the only time that these ignorant, willingly-brainwashed lemmings will understand what is actually happening is when it affects them personally. Unfortunately, that’s the only way to slightly reach them. They will have to lose their job or farm contract or Medicare or SSI or help from FEMA, etc. When something finally hits home they will wonder what happened and will be very confused. Maybe even deny that reality for as long as possible. Ultimately, that’s our only chance of the MAGAts realizing they were conned. But breaking through people’s cognitive dissonance (when they have to accept reality) can be a slow process.
I'm terrified as well, but at the end of the day the only way people are going to learn is through pain. And when government benefits that help MAGA are suddenly no longer there, that's when the pain will start in earnest. And I'm here for it.
Voters largely base their vote how whether something affects them personally. But I am surprised at how quickly people have become alarmed. In six months, people will really start feeling the "sting". Then Trump will be in the thirties. (approval). They are already about 43 to 45 and falling.
MAGA will never learn. It’s not about them. They are about 30 percent. It is the rest of the people who thought inflation was too high, or couldn’t vote for that woman, or just stayed home because “we survived the first time around just fine.” They, along with the rest of us, are the 70 percent. And these people sure are beginning to see—and about to see (and feel) a whole lot more.
Are you already seeing and/or expecting that this ´rest of the people´ is actually explicitly willing to admit that they made a mistake in voting for Trump (and/or other Republicans) AND are they willing and able to actively fight back in large enough numbers?
The problem with counting on a MAGA learning curve, is that many of these changes made by the newer, smarter cabal made are permanent, or much harder to reverse, like court rulings in their favor. Simply losing the institutional brain trust would be hard to reverse even if such action was taken now, or soon. After a few years? It’s overwhelming, exactly as intended.

That UN resolution broke me. Fucking broke me. I'm having a rough week in general, but that sent me to previously undiscovered levels of sadness.
Me, too. And now the press shutout, another step toward our undoing.

That is assuming MAGA people are able - or willing - to learn....
Different reactions to that pain are also possible - psychological or other.... Unfortunately....
