the Patriot HipHop movement is maybe the best thing America has ever created culturally, so pure and MAGA

Trump is evil. He’s fucking crazy and shouldn’t be in the whitehouse. Ever again. Not even to visit. He should be banned from federal buildings
But, also, man I’m so sick of my community on the left being so blind as to why. For so long, we’re all just like “oh his followers are stupid morons.” Or like “they’re all brainwashed by Fox News” which is true for some of his followers sure, but not everyone who votes for him.
I truly believe that the left needs to shut the fuck up and listen to the Trump voters. Not just watch some bullshit on YouTube. But actually listen and EMPATHIZE with the full broad spectrum of Trump voters. You don’t have to agree! But just listen and try to empathize.
The first reason is that listening and empathy is effective for changing your opponents’ mind. Telling people that they’re stupid and wrong will never work to change their minds. And like half the voters are willing to vote for this maniac, even some of his voters who know he’s a maniac. Do you get that? That there are more than one type of person that votes for Trump? It’s no different than how I fucking hate Biden as a candidate but he’s still the person/party that would get my vote because he’s closer to what I think is right and good for the country.
The second reason to listen closer to Trumpers is that you might find that there are reasons they have that perhaps we could concede or compromise on with them, because maybe the country isn’t ready for that kind of progressiveness yet. Like go hang out with some garbage men or some blue collar people or just like someone who chose not to go to college because they didn’t have the money, or someone who lives in bad neighborhood and wants more cops around.
I really do believe that the left has been very influential and successful for many years and now we’ve just gone too fucking far and now the pendulum is swinging back and we have to absorb the back swing. But we don’t! We push back and they push back harder. If we dig our heels in on every issue and constantly just scream that the other side is wrong in every way and stupid for not knowing it, then we will just get more and more Trumps in office and more shitty judges in the Supreme Court.
And that’s far worse than trying to find a common ground with the right.
- Totally agree. It's too easy to say they're all just stupid. Like, where have they come from to get so bewildered by reality? It's sad.Ianbolton
- Around here they think the vote will magically make crime and brown people disappear.monospaced
- They think Biden and his son are so corrupt that if he gets another term they will literally dismantle the country. They are not poor people.monospaced
- But they are clearly misinformed. Hard to meet them at eye level when this is how they think. And I would never say they’re just stupid.monospaced
- They see a Ring cam vid of some guys checking cars for change. Or a new cash for gold place, and all they can see is democrats ruining things.monospaced
- We are so divided, I don't think any of it matters. If Haley were the candidate she'd probably be crushing Biden.formed
- But yeah, when I hear "string up that billionaire" I know we've gone too far.
Biden's policies are generally good. The D's just suck at promotion.formed - And yup, before Trump I had R friends I could have intelligent convos w. Not anymore (most of them aren't R's anymore, tho).formed
- I have friends that have confided to me privately that they are moving to the right and would vote IF it weren’t for Trump.nb
- But they do not dare tell their coworkers or people they meet. If republicans ever get a sane, rational candidate... they could crush.nb
- So keep in mind that some of the people you meet that you think are progressives are secret Repubs. (Of course this depends where you live)nb
- My point is that the prog left is pushing too far too fast. And it’s turning many people off. I assume some would even consider voting for Trump. It’s crazy.nb
- You cannot reach out to Trump supporters. It’s divisive because of them. It’s like asking a firefighter to negotiate with fire.CyBrainX

Next Door Neighbors.
also added lights in a large configuration (8 x 6 feet) of the US flag on the side of their house that is lit up every night.
They (young couple, no kids) walked 100yds from their house to my yard to introduce themselves about 2 months ago .. seemed nice (the flags weren't up yet) but I got the sense that these 2 were the “FakeNice” type. Now I barely get a hand raised “hello” or anything from them.
Real American Patriots ... So that’s fun.
- The yellow flag next to it is “The Gadsden” don’t tread on me flagRamanisky2
- Should I tit for tat this???
Friend sent me this Amazon link
https://i.ibb.co/HFZ…Ramanisky2 - Follow Alito's neighbor's league. Put up some Pride flags, one of Dark Brandon, and maybe one that says 'I WILL take that gun from your cold, dead hands'.formed
- ^ my best bud texted me “Let me know when you'd like to escalate things “
lolRamanisky2 - Don’t be petty. Be the bigger person.nb
- Yeah, maybe in a few years you can laugh about how insane they were, unless the guy does a murder suicide when Don doesn't win.PhanLo
- I don’t understand the mentality it takes to fly these flags. Everything about it is so right in my face.Ramanisky2
- My favorite spot in my house for some early morning coffee and fresh air. Just to chill outside for a bit and this is my fucking view. Ughhhh.Ramanisky2
- I have jagoffs in my neighborhood that fly these, too. So obnoxious. Invest in an 8ft privacy fence!elahon
- ahaha had to read the notes because i wasn't sure why the fuck you care. oh damn so unfortunatested
- maybe put some green there?sted

- I’m choosing to not vote to tell the democrats to fuck off with their bullshitnb
- But that's like pouting when a teacher gives you a bad grade - you can complain, do nothing, and whine, but that will only ensure you get worse grades...formed
- and have to do it all over again, just hoping you get to the first bad grade you pouted about.
Suck it up, take what we have, regroup for the next battle.formed - Don't kneel to a bully and hope he's not going to hurt you tomorrow and steal your lunch money...again.formed

- He did say last night in the debate that he never had sex with her, so fucking bizarre the reality we live in.PhanLo
- Imagine paying $130,000+ for sex and never even getting the sex. What a losernb
- especially when you had a wife at home not giving you sex for free!_niko
- LOL fr nikonb
- Maybe it was a shakedown and the payment was to kill a potentially damaging, but untrue story.monNom
- Didn’t her lawyer get thrown in jail for trying to shake down Nike?monNom
- If it was an untrue story then they would have argued that in court. They didn’t. They just argued that the payment wasn’t from Trump directly.doublespaced
