MAGA meltdown thread *snowflakes not allowed*

I wonder what the solution is?

The easy criticism is that these people are just "dumb," but it goes beyond that. Plenty of people who would score well on IQ tests behave irrationally just the same. Raw intelligence doesn't necessarily confer the ability to recognize your innate biases and weed out disinformation. An example is Nobel Prize winner Michael Levitt, whose opinions on the pandemic are about as dumb as a Trump 's opinion on politics.

I think the primary barriers to rational thought are pride, ego, and a stubbornness to concede beliefs because you don't want to give the "other side" a victory. And this at ude is symptomatic of a deeper American sickness that prioritizes "winning" above all else. It's precisely why Trump got elected.

My solution is that we need to expand the concept of "education" beyond just having students learning by rote from textbooks. We should emphasize to children in their formative years the ideas of humility, introspection, and not to fear failure, that "losing" is okay if you learn something. That cliche of "It's not whether you win or lose, but how you play the game" needs to comeback en vogue.

This is a cult, mid... not sure what you do to recover cultists

Best we can hope for is they kill each other over charges of heresy.

new Dolchstoßlegende

the DEEP STATE, THE NEWS MEDIA AND THEIR GLOBALIST DARK MONEY MASTERS stole the election from Trump and perverted the will of the people.

Q-Qongregations will split over minor points of doctrine like whether to recognize the legitmacy of Mike Pence -- an outsider to the family.

I'm expecting a Sunni-Shia type schism over who leads the movement-- undead JFK Jr. or that time traveler kid.

you're not supposed to ridicule them for being stupid because it drives them further in, but that's hard cause they're really stupid

Another local cultist...

I'll get the last laugh. Because Trump will not relinquish a rightfully earned victory. He sprung a military operation and Dems fell for the trap. The voter fraud was rampant. He has the proof. Just wait.

It will be better when Biden is declared victor and then yank it away from him... after the results are delegitimized by the rampant cheating schemes being exposed by military operatives.

It's real. Remind me of that guy asking to "leave Britney alone!"

the "not my president" shoe is on the other foot

Overturn Roe vs Wade and we'll be back to the crime rates of the late 80s. The Republicans are always going to have a wedge for white evangelicals to cling to so they can pretend it's not race.

CATHOLIC SCOTUS killing R v W will only say there is not right to abortion, I think.

I doubt they will make abortion a Federal crime.

I think they will not ban abortion, but leave abortion to "states rights",

so white women of means in banning red/slave states will be able to afford to travel to a state that permits abortion.
iow, no right to abortion will me poor women, esp black, brown women, in abortion-denying states, won't be able to afford it

Another local cultist...

is this post real ? Holy

Guess I've seen so many weirdos this last couple of days that you take them for granted I'm sure that if you dig a little you'll find even worth than that.

Great job anyway.
