No, you don't get it. People like him and Elon only have a long history of screwing over workers and doing everything in their power to gain more power and hoard their own wealth because evil big government liberals FORCE them too! They really just want to help out and get the common man more help!

Its cause that is all they hear and when you only hear lies, you believe it. That is why we need to get rid of politics free zones, we need to talk more politics. Stop letting republicans control the narrative. There are way too many dumb fucks that dont do their own research or learn anything about politics and when they hear republican talking points only, they believe that shit.

Man of the People

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/7/7fcf54e1.jpg

They're never going to fucking learn.

And it's not just Trump, either. How many times do you see people fall for the same trick and believe that an overwhelmingly ambitious person, bought and sold, and used up by corporations and special interests a hundred times over, truly cares for them. Maybe the did when starting out, but it's a very rare person whose idealism survives first contact with politics.

You want your politician to be on your side? Then do for them what AIPAC do. (Other corrupting lobbies are available). Otherwise, just hope that they aren't fucking horrible, and that they figure they need your support.

Sadly, I had a coworker echoing similar sentiments about what Trump is planning to do. I tried to explain why those things either weren't happening, or wouldn't be beneficial to the average citizen, but they just shut me down.

I wasn't even mad at the person because their feelings don't come from a place of malice. They're just another older person who fell victim to the misinformation campaign.

Does the tweet say she lives in a red State? If so, those kinds of lies are all they hear, as there is very little opposition. Moreso now, thanks to chicken shit media.

Now the country is in the thrall of a self-proclaimed billionaire and his cabinet of billionaires because-they care about regular folk like you and me? What the fuck?

Even in the 90s the Democrats were fixing the damage Republicans do. Its weird how Republicans can destroy the economy for over 4 decades and barely anyone seems to care.

I know you guys are hungry for leopard eating face content, but this is like the lowest effort ChatGPT bot account I've ever seen, man. You can't just take things at face value because it's what you want to hear, especially on the literal bot website. Theres like 30 people in this thread and not one took a second to check, because they want a reason to feel smug.

That's fair to a degree, but the post doesn't even sound like something that would be true in the first place, which is why I checked. Like 90% of the "irony of my own actions" posts on both sides of the aisle seem extremely made up for engagement.

ChatGPT isn't even perfect yet, you're going to be cooked in the future if you do not approach politically divisive or motivated posts with even an ounce of skepticism. This website feels like Facebook to me sometimes, man.
