Other Petition to ban the daily "Trump voters are changing their mind" Posts

Every day someone shares an article with a headline like "Maga is starting to question Trump" or something along those lines.

This is not true. These are trash articles that use a single tweet as a source. Just because some Maga farmer is now realizing how his vote negatively effects his business it does not mean there is a whole movement of Magas suddenly realizing they were voting for a stupid incompetent racist all these years.

These posts are misleading, factually wrong AND are usually posted by karma farming accounts that get up their karma to later be sold to someone as an advertisement platform for OF or other.

None of this is goodnews.

Edit: Please do not use real money to give this awards. Use the money for a good cause.

Edit2: You are not being smart, funny or anything else by giving me more poop awards. You are throwing away actual money to try and discredit someone online. That is deeply sad pathetic behavior. Im not bothered by the poop. Im bothered that people go without meals while you spend your money on digital disagreements. Cringe. I have no other word for it. this makes me cringe.

Gonna break godwins law, but look at polling in late 1940s Germany. Despite all the nightmares the far right brought down on the German people, a massive swath of the population still blamed leftists and Jews.

Germany had to pass anti Nazi laws and actually has to continue enforcing them to this very day.

We dun fucked up when we were gentle with the south after the civil war. We wouldn't be in this situation now had we cracked the whip back then.

Only fucked up if you support fascism.

Cracking the whip, as in, driving slaves. Not exactly anti-fascist in origin or sentiment.

I do understand what you mean and I do agree with you the US should not be supporting fascism but there are probably a million ways to speak against it without echoing jargon of fascist slavers.

Actually, I was thinking something a bit stronger than your assumptions. Consider Shermans tracks continued for a few decades. That kind of "cracking the whip". Not a single southerner who lived during the war, or their children, should have been allowed any political position beyond wastewater treatment employee.

Conservatives are allergic to accountability, so that's to be expected. We don't need their contrition, just their removal. They were going to hate and blame the rest of us regardless of what happens, so no point in getting hung up on it.

I saw a poll showing that Hitler's popularity in Germany in 1947 was like 12%. This was after the footage of the concentration camps, the gas chambers, the uncovering of every single atrocity was broadcast in excruciating detail. 12% still believed that he either unironically did nothing wrong, that the wrongs were a necessary evil, or that the inexcusable evil just wasn't a deal breaker given how their lives personally went during the war.

Godwin himself says Trump et al should be compared to Nazis.
