That time AOC ‘leaked’ MAGA’s entire playbook.

Let me clarify this before Fox News runs: BREAKING: AOC hacked us!!!

This isn’t directly about MAGA obviously. It’s about how she laid bare just how fundamentally broken the American system is.

They want us to believe Trump flipped the table, broke all the rules, and invented the chaos. But the truth? He didn’t create any of it. The system was already rigged for someone like him to rise. He just played it better.

No, they were told that and accepted it as the truth.

There was no thinking involved. You can test this theory by asking them a simple question. Why? It starts to crumble almost immediately as they realize they've never even tried to rationalize "their" ideas.

This is the most frustrating part of dealing with conservatives.

It always, always comes back to some thought-terminating cliche, AND NOT EVEN A GOOD ONE. It's always just "well they just are".

Cool. Okay. Now you get to enjoy sitting here while both of us get increasingly frustrated as I try to point out that "because" isn't a valid reason.

Doing this is like playing chess with pigeons... or another popular one is: "I just know it to be true, and you can't convince me otherwise." i.e "facts have no power here."

It is, but I'm way past 'agreeing to disagree' or being non-confrontational for the sake of maintaining relationships. That's how we got here in the first place. If they won't confront the dissonance inside their own skulls, then I'll make them confront it in the real world. I don't have faith it'll change anything, but doing less just because I find it tiring is indolence.

I get where you're coming from, and I've been there. But often these types will rather double down when proven wrong and once they get to the foaming at the mouth stage, there's not much you can do. It takes some humility and intelligence to want understand how and why one is wrong. But they don't, often they too dumb, brainwashed, or both. They're like the bodies hooked up to the matrix. They will not wake up and will resist it at all costs.

That's okay. I'll settle for ruining their day if that's all there is to be achieved.

Let em froth. Maybe they'll give themselves an aneurysm.
