It’s very interesting to watch. Can only hope for a few lightbulb moments as they move through the phases .

  • America doesn’t do that, we’re protecting people
  • ok, it happened but it’s Trump
  • oh my god the guy I called a Russian bot was right all along

Anyway, if you find yourself in this fight, try to be patient. It must very jarring to see America like this, having grown up in a bubble. Remember that attacking people just tends to make them dig in.

Be the person that hands out a bottle of water. Not the person that pours it into their mouth with a towel over their face.

Hey if you've seen that, that's great. I've never had it happen when people who called me a Russian bot for saying known documented things and wanting the Democrats to change their messaging to win against Trump because they'll lose otherwise.

The kind of person who shuts out any criticism or citations with "RUSSIAN BOT" are the same people who refuse to listen to anything they weren't told by their favorite rich person. We call them Blue MAGA for a reason. They just replace "woke" with "tankie" or "russian bot". The only thing different is the color of the party and it's name.
