    I want to disagree with this but I can’t. Conservatives genuinely react so well to being bullied and talked down to. It’s apparently what they want 🤷

      Trust me I wish I was wrong.

      Tried for 2 decades to do the reasoning thing.

      It doesn’t matter, it doesn’t work.

      They don’t argue in good faith, because most of them literally are not capable of arguing in good faith.

      You make them your bitch, and force or trick them to realize your way is better for both you and them.

        Yeah…it’s sad but if you want results, you have to play the “who has the bigger peepee” game.

          Yep, its pretty much that stupid.

          But… if its stupid… and it works…

          … it isn’t stupid.

          Playing chess with a pigeon and getting mad that it isn’t playing by the rules and then flaps over the pieces?

          You’re the fool.

          Just get some bird seed and also a broom, apply positive and negative reinforcement toward the desired result.
