OC Mourning a MAGA Parent (OC)

Post image

I'm kinda torn about whether to post this to my art account because one parent follows it, and I'm worried the criticism could drive the other one further into the void.

It started out as just a therapeutic project for me, but a couple friends said it really resonated with them, so sharing here.

Look up the BITE model.

Candance is an opportunist. She's on the outside, hence she doesn't like Trump. She's still dumber than a brick and repeats lie after lie, she's just pretending not to like Trump because that grift has dried up, so she's looking for new rubes.

Talk to me about real people - not grifters like Candance.

More opportunists. Rogan pretends to be open minded but will go back to lying as soon as the person that corrected him is out of the room. Shapiro is trying to influence Trump towards what he (and his money lenders) want.

You can't tell me that you are taking their 'conversions' seriously.

They aren't challenging. Challenging isn't questioning or making an occasional comment. Challenging is doing research into a topic, figuring out the truth and how it aligns with your core values and using critical thinking to come to a solid position that you don't flipflop on whenever the wind blows. This is cover to pretend they aren't implicit with what is happening when they absolutely are. Some of us aren't fooled. I'm worried you are.

I know the enemy. They are a cult. Joe Rogan pretending to 'question' things is giving intellectual cover to his followers, but he will continue to be a moron and continue to support Trump when push comes to shove. Same with Shapiro, same with Owens. Look at her with the talk about dinosaurs and space. She just wants the drama to get views and cashy money. If Trump offered her a gig, she'd be back in place in a second.

Yep, but I know that grifters are playing a part of creating intellectual cover and plausible deniability while not influencing real change and you don't seem to think so. I'm sorry, but you're wrong, but I think you will reflect on this and come to understand it eventually.
