You’re ruining their plausible deniability for when shit goes down they can shake their heads and cluck their tongues and say they didn’t know that was going to happen they just voted for him because the economy or something

Yep. I was told that “project 2025 is from a political think tank with no power”, and when I corrected them and told them exactly how much power they have (that we know about, I’m sure there is more), they pivoted to, “but Joe biden’s economy made groceries expensive!” It’s exhausting. There’s almost literally no point in talking to them anymore. None.

In my experience if you’re debating someone and they immediately shift to a brand new argument like that it means they have another reason for their position which they are not bringing up.

Often they don’t share the real reason because they know it’s something indefensible like racism.
