The only politeness and welcoming behaviour a 2024 Trump voter will get form me or anyone I know is a false welcoming to the resistance before being snuck out back and shot like the Nazis they are
They’ve had 10 years to not be Nazis, they don’t get another chance
Liberals keep trying to do this. The Nazis will join you temporarily and then turn around and vote for the very next Trump. It is an extremely small minority that actually changes their views, and they are welcome.
This thinking is a result of thinking that there is a simple political spectrum. There isn’t… Most voters are far too simple minded for voting that way. They vote for the other party when they are unhappy. That’s it. That’s all the decision making they need. They voted for Trump in 16 because they didn’t like the status quo (What simple working person is happy with the rich getting richer and the rest of us getting nothing but rising housing costs?). They voted for Biden in 20 because he wasn’t Trump and Trump really fucked up his time in the white house. Then they voted for Trump again because Biden didn’t change things.
The Democratic party can appeal to a lot more voters by abandoning a status quo that no longer serves the masses. There is a reason there were people who voted for Trump and AOC on the same ballot. They are people who are upset by the status quo and want change, even if that change is burning it all down and starting over.
We should give them change, because if we don’t, they will vote for change from the fascists.
There are too many of them for us to kill them all. We simply can’t kill 1/3 of the country… We have to find a way to build a society with most of the people who voted for Trump still being in it.
Now, for the ultramaga, proud boy types… I don’t hold back on solutions to the problems presented by that smaller population.
While I hear you, and there are definitely some voters that will never, ever, ever change their mind - I encourage you to direct this energy toward the elected ones who continue to lie to their base and capitulate to the billionaires/Russia/etc.
Some of us out here are truly harm reductive and are sewing faces back on. We all need to band together before the leapords start coming for our throats.

ETA: Shocker, .world is a Nazi-loving space

And how do you get the Nazis to even consider joining you?
Appealing to them.
Do we need the Democratic Party sliding further to the right?
No.

I completely agree.

They’re included in that, they’re just not the subject of the thread
I misunderstood the thread then. The original post didn’t have the edit it does now.
Mutual Aid relies on mutual security. Investigate someone’s language and demeanor before including them in praxis.
You could have easily been one of them. Being lucky enough to not get duped does not make you a better person. It makes you lucky.
What resistance, the Democrats?
Try to think practically instead of just with emotion.
Do you think the Democratic Party is in need of pushing further and further right?
The resistance: “Here’s a cupcake, we’ll never talk about abortion or minorities again. Heil Hitler”
