The shameless and unprincipled don’t fall for things - they only deflect, distract, and modify their opinions to suit the current state of affairs.

Just learn to talk to all people in social situations, and don’t make it transactional.

The right people will just drop into your life naturally.

This is what they all paid for, right?

Those “free speech” dollars are working as planned.

Why is such a group allowed on Facebook?

I agree some form of consistent opposition messaging is needed.

The maga world talks in consistent themes and terminology, which creates a psychological advantage. Unfortunately, it’s playground psychology, but if that’s the game being played you need to find a way to win at it.

I honestly don’t understand the visceral anger aimed at any business with a non-essential product offering.

This discussion would be wholly different if we were discussing healthcare, food, or any other necessity.

Will smaller alternatives be enough to upend their plans?

Unpopular opinion: I prefer single ply.

Adding a smile goes a long way, or at least it used to.

We can’t know anything with 100% certainty. We can always imagine some razzle-dazzle, imagined scenario to counter the rational explanation if we like.
