    Imagine growing up in a household that shit talked Republicans hardcore, and then 12 years after leaving home finding out that dad is a Trump supporter 😮‍💨

      Did he hit his head? The lead kick in?

      I’m only half joking. I had a neighbor who I used to describe as slightly conservative-leaning. He suffered a brain injury on the job and is now a full tilt QAnon MAGA goofball.

        There are several studies that clearly show political conservatism is legit brain damage. It’s insidious too because their afraid of everything including admitting they have a problem so they never get help.

          Are you talking about the one showing conservatives tend to have an underdeveloped sense of empathy, or are there other studies?

            That’s part of it, also their brains have actual scar tissue and they have enlarged amygdalae so they’re in a constant state of fear.

        Too much fox news.

        It happened to my dad too. He got hurt and was basically sitting in front of the TV all day being brainwashed to hate “the left.”

          My parents were always a bit right but they still could function. Could have a normal conversation or do an activity with them. 2010 thanksgiving was the last time I saw them and fox killed whatever was left in them.

          What you are saying is this:

          Couldn’t hear the endless barrage of republican dog whistles. Too subtle for his mind to capture.
          Heard the shrill, blunt whistle loud and clear.

          Because everything this orange asshole is saying directly, is what most previous republicans have been implying for decades.

          They’ve been incredibly successful when they’ve been subtle, too.
          For example - calling the war on minorities “the war on drugs” and filling it with “refer madness” propaganda. They’ve gotten the taxpayer to foot the gigantic bill for decades now.

          Social media broke peoples’ brains, that fucking algorithm is tuned to keep users anxious for unnaturally prolonged periods of time.
          They were warned they were the product, not the customer. They didn’t listen, they were too busy paying attention to what the algorithm was throwing their way.

        I knew a guy who was a philosophy major and his friend group was a bunch of atheist skeptics, so he knew all about logical fallacies and so on. He took a hard right turn into Pizzagate territory once Trump took office and now believes everything short of Flat Earth. (And maybe that, too. We haven’t talked in a loooooong time.)

        The only way it makes sense to me is to think that if you have no moral compass, you’ll go whichever way the wind blows. Humans like to think that we’re rational, logical beings (even if nobody else is), but the truth is that we’re all driven by emotion. Strong values, such as a love of truth and hatred of bigotry, are what keep people from descending into this nonsense, not mere logic.

    One of my old MMO friends came out as a MAGA after a year of raiding together. Tbh, it kind of didn’t matter since we were killing shit in a game and it just didn’t come up unless I was mentioning watching certain political satire shows. He wasn’t an outstanding guy, but I’ve played with much worse people and would still consider him a friend.

    Don’t play with him anymore, but that was because of his other terrible life choices, going all in on playing League.

      Oh hi it’s you. My wife is an immigrant, my sister-in-law is trans, I’m an angry atheist and my life work is in the environmental sector. You hate my wife, my religion, my sister-in-law, and my career. Yet here I am spending time with you freely.

        It helps that in my case, the guy was mostly just enthralled in the cult of personality. Union guy, not religious, etc… If someone you know was part of a cult, you can either express concern and try and help, or leave them be. I ended up doing the latter, especially since back then maga was still a new term.
