    I’m hoping you’ve read the original post and see that this thread has nothing to do with MAGA, GOP, trump, or any US politics. I honestly am confused but your over-the-top reaction to a simple post of mine including your doubling down on three or four other followup threads spawn from it with other people. I can sense your frustration even if I can’t understand its cause. Friend, I think you may just be having a bad day. Things suck for lots of folks, and I want you to know you’re not alone. I hold no ill will toward you for anything posted here. I have no idea whats going on in your life today, but I truly hope it gets better for you.

      Look, I’m just trying to say that this same thing has been posted thousands, yes, literally thousands of times. I’ve seen it hundreds of times, and it’s just eye-rolling bullshit. It isn’t new, it isn’t an original thought, but it’s constantly posted and it’s constantly upvoted everytime someone posts it and at this point it’s meaningless. It’s tedious. It’s a waste of bandwidth and time. It’s like posting on every disaster that is the EPA shutdown and saying “I like to breathe” yeah, no shit, thanks for the input.

      My point is that it doesn’t matter the context of the original post. This same shit will be posted on every. Single. Post. With a large enough response. It’s fucking tiresome and doesn’t do anything here. We all know. This is the problem with Dems. People think a clever quip posted hundreds of thousands of times across platforms is some kind of protest, or furthers the cause. It isn’t, and doesn’t.

      You have to work with these people to break them from their cult. Snarky quips don’t help that, especially when you’re talking to people who agree with you. The response I’ve gotten here only further leads to my belief that a civil war is coming, possibly congruent with ww3, and we’re going to lose.

      Talk to me, tell me WHY im wrong, not in offense that I’m tired of copypasta, tell me why I’m wrong in saying that copypasta doesn’t work. Nobody has made that argument so far. What does posting their tired bullshit do? Convince me I’m wrong. Don’t just downvote me, convince me that repeating copypasta is an effective tool. If you can’t convince someone that is on your side, then you have no chance at converting MAGAts.

        You’re in a Lemmy Community called “Microblog memes”, and you’re complaining about things being reposted? You get that this entire Lemmy Community is built on reposts from elsewhere, yes? Its literally its purpose.

        Talk to me, tell me WHY im wrong,

        I did, and it looks like you ignored it. This whole thread has nothing to do with US politics, GOP, trump, the “Dems”, or “converting MAGAts”. The world is more than just US politics. Not everything has to be about them. Yet here you are trying to do exactly that. The only person talking about US politics or MAGAts is you.

        Convince me I’m wrong. Don’t just downvote me, convince me that repeating copypasta is an effective tool. If you can’t convince someone that is on your side, then you have no chance at converting MAGAts.

        Your whole argument here is a strawman. You’re saying we’re failing at converting MAGAts, but no one here is trying to convert MAGAts with this thread.
