A red hat commented the other day that they're making fun of liberals for turning on elon. Why WOULDN'T we turn on elon if he's doing racist anti patriot shit?! They're making fun of us for not just following him blindly no matter what?
I think there was a brief period of time when most people who had heard of this guy but still didn’t know enough about him had a neutral-to-favorable opinion because it seemed like he was looking to use his immense wealth for innovative, forward-thinking projects which were vaguely in service to society.
Well, the mask came off, the true colors were proudly displayed. And, consequences followed.
If you don’t want the public forming an opinion of you, don’t accept a prominent, unelected role in the Federal Gov’t. If you don’t want to be thought of as an evil human being, do better. Especially when you have the means to do so.
If you insist on being in public service, whilst taking government money, and then wave a chainsaw around on national television as a metaphor for cutting our needed and necessary programs with absolute impunity, then the public can rightfully assume you understand there may be consequences ahead for you.
They would never turn on their dear leader no matter what he does. They simply cannot fathom what it means to not have blind allegiance and to be able to think critically
Well let’s be fair the one’s who turned aren’t criticizing liberals for turning on Elon. And from what I’m seeing there are still plenty of Magahats drinking the Kool-aid
Red hat: I thought all you libturds loved/hated (noun). But now you love/hate (noun).
They seem unable to comprehend that behaviors, actions, data and new information can and should lead you to at the very least rethink your opinion if not change your mind about (noun).
When you explain to them your logic or reasoning for changing your mind, it is usually met with some overly-aggressive comeback or belittling your ability to think critically. Which will never be the flex they want it to be.
It really seems to break down into they just want to be racist and are willing to overlook a bunch of stuff in the hopes of bringing back slavery or whatever racists hope for.
Or they know they aren't really knowledgeable about.... any of it. And they feel like since trump is dumb and has a following, then he must be for the dummies.
They literally give them the soundbites they need to sound smart. It's all lies. More and more straight-up lies. But at least they can join the conversation.
I also feel like the red hats give them a sense of community they don't otherwise have. More and more, the red hats really stand out as the type of people that rub people the wrong way, and they're probably not sure why.
So it really gives them a sense of being in the cool kids club even though they really aren't the cool kids. It's like joining a gang or a religion for them.
Idk, but I give up on them. I don't want them on my side. They can stay on the hateful, ignorant side, and I guess we'll just see what happens.
Someone said that the government is scared of making these people angry but they're not scared of making the Dem base angry. What I really want to see is the Dem base get angry.
There's a lot of intelligent and innovative people on this side. Surely we can come up with SOMETHING.

Trump is good. Whatever Trump says is true. Whoever Trump hurts must deserve it.
Watch Conservative media to explain why. And then repeat that.
That’s it. That’s their whole thought process.
