In a , much thread , on his many conversations over the last year with Trump and Harris followers, a Daily Wire director drops this distinction down in the middle:
I live in a deep-blue area, and I have these vibes-and-racism meetings many times a year. I learned now, face-to-face, that Donald Trump hates everyone who is n’t light. I mean, he , despises , them. All of them. These exchanges occur as follows:
A: Trump is SUCH a f-cking , sexist, person. He hates everyone who is n’t light. How is that even possible?
B: Why is he discriminatory?
A: Are you being critical best today? C’mon, gentleman!
B: No, but why is he discriminatory?
A: I ca n’t believe you’re defending him!
B: Okay, look: Donald Trump has already been the chairman for four years. What do you consider to be his top three prejudiced laws, in your opinion?
A: You know what, I ‘m , done , with this conversation.
B: I’d live for one really nice one. What great racist plan did he implement?
A: I ca n’t even talk to you about this stuff — you’re so , irrational!
Over and over and over and over again, these conversations hit the” I ca n’t even talk to you about this stuff” moment, the hard shutdown.
- What proof do you have to support that see?

Certain set phrases warn you that the stoppage is occasions away:  ,” crime idea” , , “disinformation”, “what are you even talking about”? By the way, this individual observation about social interaction also applies to CNN board conversations.
I’ve written before that I had a discussion just after the 2016 election in which I was asked how I had support someone who was going to put my own friends and family in the , tents, guy, he’s gonna put us in the f-cking , tents!
Eight years later, and after four years of a Trump presidency in which , no one went to the camps, Trump ca n’t be allowed to return to the White House because, guess what, he ‘ll , send us all to the camps:

If Donald Trump wins this election, returns to the White House, and does n’t put his opponents in internment camps, and then J. D. Vance runs for president, the same people will warn us that J. D. Vance will put his enemies in the camps. The same people will warn us that Vance cannot be allowed a second term because he’ll put us all in the camps if he wins and serves four years without putting anyone in the camps. The cycle never breaks. The narrative is the narrative. It has no inputs. Under all circumstances, it runs again.
It ‘s , totally not true , that Joe Biden called Trump supporters “garbage”, by the way. Where do you guys even get all this crazy , conspiracy theory , stuff? That was completely refuted by the news! I ca n’t even talk to you about this stuff!
A significant portion of the population is thus completely immune to information because it has been vaccinated by a news outlet that preemptively discredits reality. They ‘re , cognitively hardened, like bunkers.
The ability to grind down the product of this mental programming will take at least a generation, though a few quick, sharp shocks might pick up some extra concrete more quickly. It’s 150 million individual cognitive problems, embedded in a culture of programmed unreality. But again — I ca n’t begin to count the number of times I’ve said this — the problem is n’t  , politics  , in any conventional sense. The conflict begins to seem neurological, like you could distinguish voters from an MRI of their brains.
I believe some of these people will need to be sent to the camps, but I wo n’t say that for the time being.
