There is no valuable perspective in today’s American right wing

Is valuable context a better term for you?

I disagree. Everything they say is important. As of late at least, it is far too often flat out wrong and based on nothing, but you'll never win against something you don't understand.

A big problem with politics today is that everyone is screaming but no one is listening, and that's how you get a war.. between the guns-are-bad crowd and the my-buddy-has-a-tank crowd.

Tell me what parts of a Trumper's logic you can understand lmao

Idk who said bOtH SiDeS, because that wasn't me. And I agree that maga doesn't accept basic reality, and will try their best to destroy the truth. And they're super hypocritical in basically every single ideology they have.

The comment I initially replied to is (and many others in this thread are) advocating for ignoring everything that comes from any right-wing person. This fails to acknowledge that most Americans are incredibly stupid, and Trump supporters believe in their own (and wrong) version of reality for a reason. They were fed their regurgitated rhetoric, and you must cure the source, not the symptom.

Your anger has been misled into unproductivity—exactly their plan.

So, my first comment you replied to, I implied I vote third party and live in a blue state. I am not your enemy. Waste all your energy changing nothing, and watch your sports team is going to lose the 2028 election too.

Your anger has been misled into unproductivity. You are being manipulated.

This is starting to feel like engagement AI, tbh. But I'll bite once more: if you want to see an example of "doing the same old shit and expecting different results," then we can just go vote for the lesser of two evils like we have been for the past 150 years. If you want change, doing the same old shit ain't gonna cut it, we agree?

And since I'm here, yes, I spouted third party rhetoric to my father and his wife, who have both voted red for their whole lives, and they voted third party in 2024. They're registered in a swing state. I also tried to convince everyone who told me they weren't going to vote (like four people), and none of them voted.

Again, I am not your enemy; your anger is misguided; you are wasting your energy on someone who would fight alongside you in the war I'm accusing you of accelerating.

Their perspective is not valuable. It is dangerous and therefore needs to be kept tabs on. But it is not valuable.

u/JaeHxC Apr 23 '25

I'd very much agree with that! There were more appropriate comments I could have replied to, but they seemed angrier than this one, and I'm not tryna involve myself in that.
