O, Oh!
Kellyanne thinks that Democrats have a 'Groundhog Day' about the insurrection.
“I just think that Democrats wake up every morning…and they look at the calendar on the iPhone, and it says January 6, 2021. The date never changes,” "

@obeto The thing is, this criticism resonates with an awful lot of American voters.
Just saying whatever instead of countering it kind of lets it fester.
And promoting the quotation kind of spreads it.
@volkris What?
Are you kidding me?
"It's going to hurt people's feelings, so don't?"
Again, are you fucking kidding me?
Homie, please.
That is the most ridiculous take I have ever heard!
I don't give a fuck if people get butt hurt by the truth.
@obeto Well I think the question is whether you want to make any progress or not.
I am not kidding you. That argument doesn't resonate with an awful lot of people.
So if you just want to yell into the wind, fine! Hey that's what I do here on social media! If that's your goal, go for it!
However, if you actually want to make a difference then you need to recognize that that argument does not resonate with so many Americans.
I'm not telling you what to do or what not to do. You do what you want to do. But if you want to actually make a difference then you need to recognize what you're up against.
And it has nothing to do with the truth. It's all about what propaganda does and does not work.
@volkris You, thankfully, are in the minority.
Because not a lot of Americans feel that way.
So, I feel good.
@obeto Oh I hear so many mainstream conservatives all getting behind exactly that feeling literally every single day.
Me I don't care. I would not vote for Trump, it's none of my business.
But SO MANY Republicans and conservatives are vocally shouting that they would, and they are answering posters questions saying they would, and that is problematic.
Conway is totally in the tank for Trump. You can assume that everything she says in every interview is about leveraging the data she has to try to pump him up even farther.
The problem is, she's probably right.
@volkris With my apologies for my earlier, impolite outburst, I will tell you this: I have no respect for the feelings, opinions, or well-being of Republicans right now.
They have seen how this clown is dragging our country into darkness, and they are quite determined to assist him in doing so.
Hell no.
I don't care an iota for any and everything they do.
They want to see the US burn in their veneration of a philandering rapist grifter.
I don't want that.
So, fuck them and their feelings!
@obeto but you're still up against democracy.
You and I might both hate the way that most people think, but we can't escape that if we are to live in a democratic representative government.
I would say that you do care an iota for what the other people do because they vote and as a democracy we count those votes.
You can say fuck them in their feelings, but the problem is that If we are going to be a democracy they and their feelings do contribute to the future of our governance structure.
You can't just discount that.
Again, I repeat, if we are going to be a democracy.
It's the age old issue that the problem with giving people a say in their government is the people.
@obeto Oh I am indeed very careful about what I am saying!
And you're just factually wrong. The things you are saying here are not factually true. And again, I am very careful about what I am saying, I mean it very carefully, when I am saying that your comment just now? Is false.
It's factually false.
I don't care about your patience to be honest. This is social media, so none of this actually matters, but I am happy to call you out for saying factually untrue things.
I'm happy to discuss this with you so we can resolve the falsities that you are projecting on to the platform but I am mainly assuming that you are not going to be engaging with them.
But I would love to be proven wrong.
@volkris Only you have the truth figured, eh?
You know what, fuck off.
I don;t have any time for trolls.
@obeto what? No. Half of the country has figured out the truth.
I'm sorry if you're not familiar with it, if your echo chambers haven't come across this difference of opinion.
@volkris "...but you’re still up against democracy.".
Be very careful of what you are saying.
Please, and I am trying very hard not to be impolite here.
Being against republicans and hating them isn't being against democracy.
Remember that.
Always.
If that's you thing, either overtly or covertly, enjoy it.
Don't bring it to me.
Oh, and my patience with this has worn out.
