most people I know are some form of conservative. none of them talk like this esp if they’re actually trying to get people to see their POV - that person isn’t trying to “disseminate bigotry,” they literally just want a reaction and you keep giving it to them. no one is even considering switching sides when they see “trump makes me ovulate” - they know that, you should know that, and if you keep giving them exactly what they want they’ll keep doing it

like no one is being indoctrinated by seeing “trump makes me ovulate” and it concerns me that you think anyone is getting indoctrinated from straight up shitposting. like do you really know anyone that stupid

The example you give would obviously be a shitpost 😭 And yes, I do know people that stupid. My aunt and uncle are so indoctrinated it’s insane. They genuinely believe he’s some sort of rhetorical genius. It’s actually scary

The crazy part is that I thought they both were very smart and well-reasoned before. They have a young daughter and a son. My aunt’s been sexually assaulted before and is Mexican. My uncle grew up poor. I just have no idea where the support came from. Perhaps just being gullible and watching Fox News. Some people do believe what they see if they hear it enough 🤷‍♀️

no I’m talking about BECOMING indoctrinated. you said the “I love trump” posts are indoctrinating people - my question is if you know anyone stupid enough to switch sides not because of the news or words of political influencers/commentators, but because they saw the “I love trump” shitposter. do you know anyone who would just flip on a dime and become “indoctrinated” just bc of the shitposts that I’m talking about in this post

I definitely don’t think just one post would do it. My logic is just that a lot of people don’t factcheck anymore. If you read something enough and don’t check if it’s true, you might end up believing it. Just saying “I love Trump” wouldn’t be enough, of course, but rarely do the shit posters just say that. It’s some variation of liking some fucked up shit or supporting a lie. We don’t have to agree, but I do see where you’re coming from.

I feel like writing these paragraphs to try to justify how you continuously fall for super obvious bait isn’t really working out in your favor here

I don’t want to be a bitch, but this is exactly what I said in the first comment I made. I’m not trying to fight you or anything. I just gave a justification for why I do it. I don’t really understand where the aggression is coming from.

the whole point is you can stop the person by not giving them a response bc all they want is attention. you keep giving it to them bc you think you’re a hero stopping them from indoctrinating ppl through shitposts and it’s hard to understand how you think that’s a good or smart thing to do. I don’t rly care that much about what you do, but if you care so much that you had to message again, I think the white knight thing you’re going for here is weird and feels v virtue signal-y for an anon app

Damn bro. I’m sorry?? I hope you can find another outlet for your aggression. Legitimately. I’m not trying to be demeaning.

I gave you my opinion very calmly and in a well thought out way. no caps, no insults. what exactly about the way I’ve spoken to you feels aggressive, or is it just that hard for you to have someone disagree with what you’re doing that you have to tell me I need help for my “aggression” just to feel like you’re better than a stranger online? it feels like you’re just trying to assert how much better you think you are than others instead of having an actual discussion

I apologize if I’ve insulted you. Completely transparently, I’m autistic and have trouble interpreting tones, take things literally, and just straight out say what I mean. The wording just seemed a little intense, and I most definitely don’t think I’m better than anyone else. I also tried to explain my view, said I understand where you’re coming from, and didn’t attack. I sincerely apologize
