I saw a comment on twitter form a non trump supporter responding to how sweet he was under a tweet with a clip of him responding to RBG's death. And all the comments were like yeah why do you think he has so many followers? So i went to reddit to scroll through /politics subreddit....and oh my good God. They literally and truly believe all trump supporters are racist, clan members who are idiot insurrections and they say the capitol attack was SO VIOLENT and that Trump should be on death row. They also called all Trump supporters faux christians. I'm literally not exaggerating that is like the basis for all of their posts. And almost all of the posts have to do with Trump. It's kinda disheartening. Not for me like I guess i kinda feel bad for them but mostly soo frustrated. I think my new "trolling" is going to be pretending like i'm a democrat on these forums and try to camouflage myself but just dropping tiny truth bombs and see how it goes. I feel like it's our responsibility to maturely wake these people up. It's literally like living in two different worlds going through that place.

I think the only thing that wakes people up is when the disconnect happens in their own life, with something they have experienced personally themselves. For me, the beginning was "white privilege". I was pretty onboard with most leftish ideas for a really long time, but white privilege conversations really set something off for me, and slowly, over the next year or so, I started to see that something wasn't adding up. It took lockdown, 18 months, and some big changes in personal circumstance before I actually managed to get past the "trump and anyone who supports him is a racist loon" barrier though. I literally never read a single news source that was conservative because I'd been so conditioned to see it as dangerous. Following Jesus was probably the single biggest thing that finally got me looking more widely at things but the trans agenda also set off alarm bells.
Very interesting. Thanks for posting.
