    Don’t agree with the form, agree with the message.

    Joe McMAGA didn’t bring you here. He has ruthlessly manipulated into believing a false narrative by those possessing the means of information - Google, Meta, OpenAI, X - coincidentally, trump’s best buddies at inauguration and ever since. Don’t you think that’s true? If so, it’s not by lack of means or motive, so why wouldn’t they be the “conservatives that brought you here”? Aren’t they the only ones not getting fucked and oppressed by this situation? Every time you see a farmer realising how much of a fool he was by voting Trump, “haha that’s right you stupid fuck!! you deserve this!!” is the wrong attitude.

    Joe is an asset and ultimately on your side in this fight. It’s a fight for what it means to be American, and while you may disagree on what that is and you very well should argue and debate with them after, you both agree it isn’t this.

    Also, just wanted to say that this illusion that “voting with your wallet” is a virtuous way to exercise your moral agency is just mind boggling to me. Sure, “boycotting” some brand run by some poor fuck in Nebraska is very helpful towards stopping scenes like those in this video…
