The difference between reality and their magat mindset confuses some of them and they hate that, so they are getting angrier all the time.

The number of drivers flipping us anti-ICE demonstrators off and of trucks screeching and throwing exhaust at us as we stand on the sidewalk holding signs is increasing every day. Even when it’s just the regular half dozen graying folks with peace signs, including the Veterans for Peace dove banner, who have been standing once a week for decades, there are folks who are driven screamingly mad at the sight.

How awful it must be to live with such anger inside.

DTR is not doing as well in the polls and that doesn’t mean much. But all it takes is enough doubt to keep those voters home and not vote. We win.
What’s the best way to do that? I dont think calling them stupid helps. Just offering a different plan that makes more sense might be the best way.

who are actually mentally ill? It would somehow be easier to understand. I mean, they seem to have lost their minds or simply don't have minds. Are there many cultists who have survived or escaped and gotten back to normal? Certainly not Ginny Thomas. I think they say she got out of one but did she really ever escape the mindset?

I see it in people who may not be that religious but still believe in Jesus and listen to the ones at the top.

or say, the last was the Bondi Hearing they just put their heads down and refuse to say anything. One of those people used to yell at me, (cousin) "I TOLD YOU I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT POLITICS" . I think they know they have nothing to say so they try to either change the subject or ignore the subject.
