I'm not American so I'm not voting either way. Also I wasn't saying I'd vote Republican or condoning it, but the sheer condescension I saw in that exchange makes it more believable if this exchange is in any way representative of politically active democrat voters. I also didn't say I was voting republican in any part of my comment so I'm curious where you got that from.
That aside, you said blueMAGA isn't a thing but preemptively blaming genocide victims for not licking the boot hard enough (instead of, you know, acting in solidarity or holding your leaders accountable) is definitely blueMAGA behavior. Getting defensive whenever someone points the very real flaws in your genocidal candidate's campaign strategy (that was, in fact, how this comment chain started) and how they're treating their constituents is blueMAGA behavior. Resorting to name calling whenever someone makes an objective, non-opinionated statement that indicts your candidate, or—god forbid—actually have an opinion that doesn't agree with your is blueMAGA behavior. How do I know? Because it's regular MAGA behavior with a dash of blue paint. And before you resort to more name calling, these are all things I experienced in this very same comment chain, for making these two statements: "Of course Arab and Mudlim Americans aren't voting for Harris how did anybody expect anything else" and "No it's not because they want fascism how did you even come to that conclusion ". If you disagree with either statement you're welcome yo try and actually refute them with arguments, but if the only thing you have to say is calling me a Republican/troll/whatever then don't bother.
You see what Donald is saying he will do and what Donald's voters are writing online, then you see attitude you don't like from Harris voters online. You still are willing to write that it's believable people would vote for Donald despite the former because of the latter. Looks like we're pretty lucky you're not able to vote.
It is believable. I mean it's happening, and denying that this sort of attitude isn't part of the reason is denying reality. I never said it's rational, because it isn't, but it's a thing and it's partially leftists not understanding that that got you (and us since your elections affect everyone) into this situation to begin with.
You have the absolute dumbest reasoning. The simple use of Blue MAGA already paints you as a fool.
I’m sure whatever country your from is dealing with its own alt-right problem, but judging by your comments, you’re probably fully in support of that.
