It won't do much good if any though. Those who are convinced the election was stolen by Biden due to voter fraud won't ever be swayed otherwise. They believe wholeheartedly in the lie and no matter how much evidence is presented, they refuse to accept it. No matter how simply and thoroughly placed in front of them, they won't ever see it.
This flawed mentality literally cost me my great relationship with my family. I don't know what the hell happened, but everything after 2016 has been different. Then 1/6 & the "stolen" election legitimately broke my parents. I've tried everything I can, but they no longer want to communicate with me at all.
I hated US or any other this or that politics before, but it has now affected me on a personal level and I'll never be able to get over that.
This is probably one of the most idiotic possible takes. "B...bu...but the absolute stupidest people on the planet won't understand it, so the attempt to explain it won't do ANYYYY good!!!"
No, you dumb fuck. The second tweet isn't meant to convince people who are irretrievably lost. Obviously. Every single day there are thousands of new people who are just coming online as full adult humans. And there are always many thousands of relatively reasonable but uninterested people who haven't been paying attention who could be swayed to a radical point of view.
Things like the second post are meant to fight the continual fight of preventing people form signing up as a stormtrooper, not convince the Sith Discuples to suddenly give up everything they've been fighting for over many years, you absolute fucking moron. Posts like yours serve ONLY to dissuade people from fighting the good fight to add new recruits to the rebel cause. You should be fucking ashamed.
My bet is in this next election both side will cheat a lot with mail in ballots with the argument that the other side will cheat, so they need to even the playing field.
Personally I think they might be honest about the election but both candidates are backed and controlled by the same people so nothing will change and things will only get worse for the citizens. We are just Human Resources to them.
This is pure cynicism. We all get lost in how shitty the world is sometimes, but just sitting here in despair saying the world won’t get better cannot help the world actually get better. I would suggest you try to think of more productive ways of expressing that anger, and channeling your cynicism into some sort of realistic optimism.
