Hmmmm let’s see… Calling them all racist/sexist and stupid didn’t work in 2016 or in 2024… It barely worked in 2020… Let’s keep doing it even more! I’m sure that will end the political divide of this country.
I know that calling all of them them stupid, racist and sexist makes it super easy to avoid having any actual dialogue with them, but it sure as shit isn’t going to help help Democrats or progressives gain any ground in the long run.
And before anyone responds with “well we can’t/won’t have dialogue with fascists” I will preemptively tell you that you are completely missing my point.
Simply because YOU labeled all of them as fascists or you were told by someone else that they were that way doesn’t mean it’s actually true.
You can’t expect to defeat an enemy if you don’t understand them or evaluate them correctly.
Pretty concerning that you think that the OP is accurately representing reality.
Also your analogy doesn’t really work the way you were hoping because rain isn’t pure water. It’s actually got a bunch of other things mixed in there too.
Kinda like how not everyone that exists to the right of your particular position is a racist/sexist idiot. I’m sure plenty of them are, but to say that they all are is disingenuous and you know it.
You’re right, of course. They’re not ALL stupid racists. Much like rain also contains miniscule portions of debris which the water forms droplets around, MAGA also contains a core component of incredibly evil people, and a few run-of-the-mill racists of average intelligence.
There’s a good reason Trump has won an election twice, and it’s because the people he’s running against are incapable of the type of introspection you just described. Their supporters, even less so.

Sorry you’re butthurt by OP pointing out reality. Do you also flip out when someone points out that rain is made up of water?

A+ for turning the analogy back around to suit your needs. I suspected you would do precisely that.
Unfortunately you’re still clearly entirely missing the point of my original comment.
When you lose 2028 and 2032 dont come crying to me.
Jimi Hendrix: castles made of sand fall into the sea eventually
MoreFPSmorebetter: the sand has to be a bit wet to hold up form so it’s ackshually castles made of sand and water; this analogy doesn’t work

I don’t disagree.
