    This is what I wish more people on the left understood, that they are GIVING us their vulnerabilities every time they open their mouth and we’re ignoring every opportunity.

    I can cite so many examples of this. Like, you can literally just call them the thing they hate and it will set them off to a degree that I think would startle most non-conservatives.

    It’s because to normal, well-adjusted, adult humans, being called a “cuck” by a stranger is just funny, it’s like being “booed” by a stranger, it’s more weird than anything personal or offensive. But the reason he’s using that word against you is because he himself is deeply, profoundly sensitive to the word and all it implies.

    They get massively triggered by specific words, and the left is always overthinking it, trying to come up with “smart” ways to fight and debate. When all you have to do is call them “weak sissies with no chin too dumb to know how voting works” and you will make their faces melt in rage, they will literally think about it all day. It doesn’t even matter if it’s accurate, and it certainly doesn’t matter if someone on “your side” thinks it’s problematic to use gendered slurs or ableism. It’s time to start twisting the knives out there.

        That would be FANTASTIC, I don’t know if you mean state house or federal, either way, imagine if every election there were more leftist/progressive candidates running than unopposed conservatives? I say this ALL THE TIME, that you can make a much bigger impact on your country by being more involved with politics, not less.

        Learn who’s running in your town, your county, your state, get to know your neighborhood, find out what people are thinking about, talking about, who they trust and not, just gather information and get practice being social and making friends. You can do so much to ensure that the people who prop up the foundations of our federal systems are people who actually represent us.
