Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsI just met one of the dumbest Magats. His thought process actually scared me.
This is pretty much verbatim.
The Magat: "Democrats don't want the Epstein files to come out because there are Democrats in the files".
Me: "I don't care if there are Democrats in the files. Expose them along with everyone else".
The Magat: "So, you don't care if young girls get abused as long as it's Democrats abusing them?"
Me: "Where the F___ did you get that idea?"
The Magat: "You just said you don't care if Democrats are in the files."
It was all I could do to keep from punching the moron. Who has that much of a skewed thought process to not accurately comprehend what I meant? I was angrey, insulted and scared all at the same time- scared to know there are people who could process in such a weird way.
Sorry, just had to get this out. It was that disturbing.
I am through with these idiots.

(2,567 posts)it speaks well of your self -restraint that you didn't assault that MAGAt moron.
Or of your choice of a lenient jurisdiction that would let you out on bail so that you have continued access to DU...
And you know, we're at 9 years or so since he rode down that escalator, so at this point anyone who still buys into his line is either 1) completely morally bankrupt or 2) completely moronic or 3) all of the above.

(6,280 posts)knew PRECISELY what the fk you said.
It was just another example of their sick minded knack for trying to put words into YOUR mouth, to change the narrative and make YOU out to be the villain.
If I only had a dime for every time the bstrds tried it on ME.

(1,255 posts)To a person they seem to disdain the entire concept of intellectual integrity. All that matters is that they perceive they are annoying the liberal they're arguing with, no matter how stupid they need to look/sound to 'achieve' that.

(38,309 posts)news about the wars, economy, Epstein, whatever. What this Trump supporter I encounterd was all fired up about was something about a trans person taking pictures in a men's restroom someplace. That is what news Fox and other right-wing outlets feed them, they know only that and anything else is fake. It's a cult. You can't reason with them.

(1,051 posts)autonomic reaction of the MAGA lizard brain for a "thought process." Happens to me all the time when I try to talk to them.

(113,865 posts)because what we actually say always confuses them. We go off script, the get befuddled, this isn't how it goes on such and such podcast, you're supposed to say this or that and then I can tear you apart and make you cry.
Funnny how the young girls being raped in order to enrich a pimp named Epstein all get lost in this little back and forth. Next time you try to talk sense to a moron, you might want to remind him of the girls.

(552 posts)True, but they were targeted for their stupidity and harvested for their votes by the very people who shipped their jobs to 3rd world countries. It was an evil, but brilliant plan. It was modeled on the evangelical "Christian" grifters and perfected by Madison Avenue and "hired gun" behavioral scientist consultants.
And before them were the European fascists backed by monied interests, here and abroad. Remember, Hitler and his Nazis didn't take their absurd arguments (which many, if not most, understood were absurd) to the universities and libraries where they would be ridiculed and laughed at. They took them instead to the beer halls where they knew that they would find fertile ground among the uneducated and "dull". But there is one thing that the 20th century fascists and the modern republicans both knew/know well and that is: In a democracy, votes are "fungible". a vote from an uneducated "useful idiot" counts just as much as a vote from the most intelligent and informed person in the country. And those "idiot" votes allow them to seize power and loot the wealth of the nation. It's really not much more complicated than that if you "boil it down" to its essence...
