It is a difficult situation. And trumpaloes must be dealt with somehow.

They really deserve our scorn, but our criticism only intensifies their psychosis. They can't hear facts and they can't hear reason.

There are reportedly ways they can be approached, but research indicates it involves very intensive and sincere contact. I don't know who they're going to get to put in all that work, cuz I sincerely don't give a shit any more.

My friend Bryon, Navy Vet, beaten, hated and abused by his dad as a child.
Loved Trump ! That manboy got him all excited.

Now he's telling me he is buddies with a certain drunk, egotistical, known abusive SOB...."Curt's not a bad guy "! ( he also thinks Curt & I are mortal enemies....because I see for Curt for what he is?)
Anyway I don't even start or mention Curt in my converstaions, Bryon brings him up.

IDK about all people's childhoods, but Bryon doesn't seem to be able to move on

I've been looking at this problem of Trump cultism, and all the authorities on cults seem to be talking about non-violent ways to deal with the MAGAs. They say we have to stop calling them stupid and stop trying to use logic with them. That advice is very hard to take. I see euthanasia as the only solution to MAGAs.

Im sorry... But you cant reason with a turnip

We need to remember that 'abuse' is the gift that keeps on giving. At some point a line must be drawn.

I believe there is some truth to what your friend/coworker said. However, I do not feel it is my responsibility to help them see the light. The only way people like these trumpers see the light and stick with it is when they figure it out on their own.

I'm happy with a diagnosis of "dumb as fuck".

And of course, obeying daddy, meant that you did not have to take personal responsibility for things, or address issues by thinking about them, daddy took away the need to do all those difficult things from you. It was not hard, since he probably did not bother himself. But it did mean that you could be as lazy as you wished, as long as your arms legs and mouth moved in the ways that pleased him, the brain did not need to work at all.

And he taught you to despise school and learning, because it would try to make you do those difficult things.

And when have no longer got daddy, then he taught you that, you can go to church, for the same things.

That generalization could be true for a lot of people. Sounds a bit like how I was raised, and I'm likely the only one of my siblings who didn't vote for the bad daddy. I'd say most of those folks are beyond reaching with logic or psychology, but good on your co-worker for trying. I have no patience for trying to reason with the MAGA types. If they never grew up, I really can't help them.

I suggest acid in their coffee

Who's your daddy?... lol

I agree that it's an opportunity, and I agree it's not an obligation.

I believe his analysis is way overly simplistic.
