Intrinsically so, as it’s harder to take advantage of people if you sympathize with them.

Yeah, it’s not strictly narcissism, but in general it is lower level of empathy in varying degrees.

A quick and drunk google:

• In 1939 the Soviet Union had around 171m people. At the end of 1940 there were about 1.5m people in gulags - 0.87% of the population

• In 2023 the USA had 664k prisoners and a population of 337m - 0.19%

Over the course of 40 years, 14-18m people went through the gulags, and over 1.5m people died.

It’s narcissism. The driving force behind conservatism as a whole, is narcissism. They all think they’re the special individual that will get special treatement. Hence the whole “leopards eating faces” thing.

Just like most red states, where there tends to be one or two areas/cities that are very blue.

Long story short is that America has literally been going through “First they came for …” for months now.

I can already see the headlines from later this year and the next, about how “no one could see it coming” and “why didn’t anyone warn me(better)”. You can actually just go to communities making fun of pro-brexit folk and see the same quotes from them afterwards.

New blood needs to primary this guy

“The DNC wants to know your location!”

(Because that sort of talk is enough for them to want to arrest you on terrorist charges.)

You seem to be missing one major piece of information: They don’t care.

The more conservative someone is, the more selfish they are and less empathy they have. Most MAGAs are so far up their own ass that if you told them this, they’d roll their eyes and laugh at you. Because in their mind, nothing bad can happen to them. And if something like this did happened, they’d instantly start screaming about a false flag and want to arrest all democrats. You can’t explain to them that they’re wrong, or the potential dangers of their actions, because they 100% will not believe you. They only understand actions or mockery.

TL;DR: You’re basically trying to convince Narcissus that he’s not that good looking.

Not even just that they wrote laws to protect their status: A two party system is in and of itself prone to issues like what is currently going on. George Washington knew that, and warned about its dangers. Because it has happened multiple times throughout history.

That’s because US customs and the TSA is not and should not be taken seriously, and they’re known to lie about pretty much everything, constantly.

If they ever make a statement, about anything, you can safely assume that the opposite is the actual truth of what they claim.

As long as enough people are narcissistic and lack empathy, this will happen. Because at the end of the day, conservatism is narcissism. As is easily demonstrated in all tthe “leaporads ate my face” social media groups. Where you can see them cheering something on when it’s hurting others, and then crying as soon as it impacts themselves or someone close to them.

Best I can do is calls for fundraising, canvasing and doing better next election.

No, you don’t understand. This will have the Trump name, so it’s different.

-Idiots

People often want, and try, to do that, but then fall back into something closer to their real self.

It’s very common in video game RPGs that track moral choices. For example Mass Effect, where a lot of people try to make a Renegade character and take the evil choices. But then end up choosing many of the nicer options as they keep playing. Or have to keep reminding themselves that they’re intentionally playing differently.

It really depends on the community and the mods awake at the time.

One of my accounts got a week ban from a larger community for being “accusatory”. Because I said someone sounded like they were spreading misinformation.

This comment section is perfect proof that most people literally don’t read news, and have the memory and attention span of a golden retirever puppy.

Haha, big funny, but literally downplaying and distracting from the real situation.

The place is called Butterworth’s and it’s where a lot of the top magas meet people outside official channels. They sit around in suits eating caviar and planning how they’re going to break the world. A photojournalist could literally camp outside and basically show the world who is conspiring and lay out who is setting things up to fall. But they don’t, and that should be pretty telling to people, if they knew.

On top of that the resturant is part owned by Nigel Farage, a racist brexit politician. You can just sit there and see different ambassadors walk in to chat up some of the most vile people in politics, and then not long after something horrendus is announced.

It’s basically forecast for who will be involved in bad things to come. Articles like this are trying to point this out. And you making joke about it is literally helping them to get people not to look further into the situation.

Have you actually come to enjoy the taste of rubber and leather?

Don’t worry, he’ll let you register again if you write a three page essay on what makes him amazing.

And that’s only partially a joke.

Investor? He’s one of the founders and the one who came up with the name(he’s obsessed with Lord of the Rings, other companies of his include Lembas, Mithril, Rivendell, Arda, etc.)
