if they swallowed Trump's horseshit for years, a pinecone sandwich isn't too much to ask.

We should welcome all to opposing TACO. No they don't get a cookie but we should welcome their vote. Yes it will hurt to bite our tongues that hard.

I heard these words not long ago: “If you’re not uncomfortable, your tent is too small.” Focus on the common goal - getting rid of Trump and his minions.

Would telling prospective voters to "fuck off" be a successful strategy for winning elections?

We can induge our anger by directing it at fools who voted against their own interests, or focus on doing whatever it takes to build a Blue Tsunami at the polls.

A big chunk of the MAGA base is indeed full of irredeemable deplorables, but not everyone who voted for The Fascist Grifter fits that mold.

The vote seems immaterial to this.

The entire GOP is completely servile only to
the good of rich white males...

period.

This will not end well for anyone at all.

That's the truth.
But a part of me hopes that there's an awakening within these people; a realization that we're all connected in ways that result in the consequences of hate being reflected outward in unintended ways.
Hate is it's own trap. It renders the hater incapable of seeing, hearing, or feeling what the consequences of their hate is.
And then comes an awakening event; a invitation to see what hate has done, and how it doesn't care who gets hurt; how the one who gets hurt can be family, friends, or even the hater himself.
Most of these hate bound people are too far gone to respond, but some of them will.

I'm not about to welcome them with open arms, but their awakening is the first step in stopping the destruction that will inevitably follow as the consequences of hate tear away at the fabric of society.

The problem is they'll jump on the next racist bandwagon going down the street. They're not capable of introspection. It's not in their "privileged" DNA.
