Most of those people are either secret Trump supporters, have foreign interests, or are so brainwashed that arguing with them is pointless. They only use Gaza as a tool, if they actually cared they'd vote for the only candidate who can be swayed on the issue

Let's take this through to worse case for both sides.

Harris doesn't intervene in a foreign conflict.

Trump becomes Emperor of USA (would that even be their name), women are slaves, anyone not white and male is threatened with violence, democracy dies, USA become an authoritarian, racist, violent oligarchy, the world burns through climate change and conflict.... and Trump doesn't intervene in the same conflict.

He also will let Israel go 10x harder on Gaza. Made up issue by Russian troll farms

It's the same playbook every time:

It's a propaganda technique using repetition to foster familiarity, to simulate that there is a large-ish part of the population that thinks that way.

Well said.

Then California should use their own money to put out the fires rather than giving it to the federal government. We give more than we get.

This is sickening.

There might be the occasional lone MAGA supporter living a closeted life in these areas. So in theory he's willing to burn his own supporters to get .. I'm not even sure what.

Definitely a contender, but only because so many enablers have given him an incredible amount of power. Otherwise, he'd be a pretty standard asshole businessman.

Lol they don't read

Have you watched a few hours of Fox? They have talking heads just blatantly lying about everything. It's insane. And these people only watch Fox, nothing else. It's the only place they get their info from.

I had to watch it for a couple days this week, and it was eye opening. It's seriously a full blown propaganda machine.

Because while the concept "the cruelty is the point" doesn't apply to every person who votes republican, it applies to a whole damn lot of them. Nearly every single one of the political actions taken by republicans that we have issue with: not feeding kids at school; trying to get rid of welfare, food stamps, assistance for people with newborns; not implementing healthcare for all; state level republicans targeting cities like Houston, Tx; Montgomery, Alabama; etc.; all comes down to them not wanting 'those people' to be helped.

There are many many layers, conservative media and social groups and psychological barriers, that act like an immune system, all in place to prevent information like this from actually being seen or acknowledged.

No information typically makes it past the first barrier, conservative media, which simultaneously floods the information channels with anti-left messaging. If it does, their social groups are there to discount it or kill it. If the information makes it past that, their brains are trained to resolve the cognitive dissonance to reject or disbelieve it.

And that is why we're really screwed. There're things like this all the time that should be killing Trump's candidacy. The system in place to prevent that is disturbingly effective.

Lol, you think they read...

I think it's more that on the national level we've come to associate CA with "Liberal" so it is seen as a whole, without consideration for nuance of specific areas.

Nuance in my politics!? Get out of here!
