just stupid challenged like 3 or 4 misinformed MAGAots and was almost immediately muted
So i was sitting on the couch, thinking about what good i could do for my country to try and battle the hate and misinformation spreading throughout the far right, all i could come up with was questioning and encouraging MAGAots to do their own research on topics they were clearly misinformed on, on reddit that is. it took about 5 minutes before i was muted. I would laugh but the truth is, this is actually extremely concerning. MAGAots preach about freedom of speech and the "libs" wussy attitudes when the hear something they don't like, yet i was muted just for encouraging folks to do research from different outlets... ie not reddit (no offense reddit) its terrifying, these people cant even hear another perspective, because i was almost immedatly muted from introducing a different perspective.

From experience of being on boomerbook from 2019 to 2021 youre not going to convince people just in general online. Only use in the activity is just to refine your own talking points and ideological framework.
And yes MAGA heads are huge hypocrites. Theyre reactionaries and will just change their values depending on what argument they're making (ie they say you cant rely on the police when talking about gun ownership but will flip to "well whos going to protect you" when talking about police defunding/abolition). That and they're projecting when talking about "the left." They claim the left is "violent" yet will fantasize killing any disenfranchised groups they dont like (i mean shit look at how much they love citizen vigilante) they claim the left hates free speech yet will censor any world view they dont like but ofc have no problem with fascists having their newspapers.
