Piper For Missouri
[October 7, 2023]
How we can “flip” Trump voters? I remember so many of them wearing shirts that said “I’d rather be Russian than a Democrat” and “Grab them by the 🐱”
I don’t waste my breath. We have to register new voters, engage apathetic voters, and get them all to the polls.
Some of the responses:
Once a person joins a cult it’s hard to get them out
The right is very good at creating outrage and misleading people. They are excellent at that. People love that rage diet, you’d think it would be exhausting but they eat it up. One of my friends is a literature teacher and brought up banned books (she was speaking against banning) and one of her friends piped up about books that needed to be banned in 1-5 grade that showed “sexual positions” and other immoral subject matter. I asked her to provide the titles of those books. She told me to Google that it was “all over the news and that her friends took her kids out of public school because of it” I told her I did Google and could not find these sexually explicit books being taught in 1-5th grade, could she please tell me which books because I have elementary aged kids and I agree 1-5 graders should not be taught “sexual positions and sexually explicit content”. She responded to me but blocked me before I could read her response.
utterly ridiculous people just spewing straight up BS.
Ask them what evidence would change their mind.
IMO, the problem is the 20-year-old “get a trade, not an education” campaign. Critical thinking skills, bias, and logical fallacy are all taught in college. Not public school, not trade school. [….]
…Completely missing from the dialogue is the fact that education being available to people who weren’t born into the “upper classes” is a fairly recent development and was something for which people fought hard. This whole idea of “you won’t need it so why learn it” is exactly how they justified not teaching peasants how to read. Scary to me that people would even be willing to flirt with going back to that. But I’m a first generation college student, so I have never taken for granted how lucky I am to have gone to college, and I can see exactly what advantages it has given me over my parents.
I have asked the “what evidence would it take?” question hundreds of times. Literally, not one citing.
They’re choosing the Rule of One over the Rule of Law.
I thought We settled that 250 years ago.
I appreciate your perspective. I think we should learn our whole life. But I think empathy and consideration of the Rights of others can be taught at any (every) level. School or job site.
I’ve barely a high school education, retired from const/maint sector. Trying to see the world through another’s eyes has taught me, wherever I have ventured.
Please, don’t get me wrong. These attacks on higher education are appalling and clear as to their intent. I have and will fight for free and equal education always.
Because my education was majored in empathy.
I’m not saying [higher education] is the only way; it’s just the current accessible way. College is Bloom’s Taxonomy, a reading list, and rhetorical modes. People who are curious enough can access these and self-teach. I have much more respect for the people who did the work autonomously. They are my favorite thinkers. My famous people to learn from and be in a room with. However, we kill curiosity in this country with shaming. It starts in elementary school with smart shaming and dumb shaming. We put so much value on diplomas that people stop learning after achieving that goal. There is a great book called I Don’t Know: In Praise of Admitting Ignorance (Except When You Shouldn’t) by Leah Hager Cohen. She talks about this. It is the answer to Carl Sagan’s question, what happens to students between kindergarten and sixth grade. Reading is a great teacher of empathy but it must start at home. Travel is a great education.
the greatest freedom I ever found was realizing how little I know. The greatest peace, being OK with it.
It allows me to still learn and grow, but helps to beat back my hubris. And judging of others. Because of how much I just don’t know. I still do judge, no doubt. I’m not going to be blind, but it tempers it some.
After “playing outside hard” for 60 years, I’m too broken down to travel very far. All the more reason to be thankful that my parents had a subscription to National Geographic. Empathy 101.
The cult members are a lost cause. They’re brainwashed and can’t be convinced of anything. Need to go after new voters, never voted, undecided folks.
Fifteen years ago, on undecided voters.:
What. He. Said. (October 22, 2008)
Because we ourselves don’t realize the magnitude of what we’re fighting for. If we did, we’d be a lot louder. Magnitudes louder.
We’re deciding whether All have Equal Unalienable Rights or not.
How many of Us fall into “All”?
Republicans have proven they will take Unalienable Rights from Women, POC, and the LGBTQ Community. Attempting to violently take it from Voters.
The very Core of our Country, Equal and Unalienable means nothing to them. If everybody thinks they’ve got nothing to worry about, ask Women, ask POC, ask the LGBTQ Community.
Declare to all what we have at risk.
All with Equal Unalienable Rights.
I’ve also surrendered. Back in 2016 I worked in a pretty Trumpy department. There was wild support for that wall that Mexico was going to pay for. Then, Trump said something about keeping families together and allowing families with little kids into the country. And suddenly the MAGA folks were wildly in favor of that. He clarified after a couple days that he didn’t actually support families coming here, and everyone flipped back. That was where i threw up my hands. If your only “ideology” is supporting whatever Trump said most recently, there truly isn’t any point in engaging.
They will never cast a vote for anyone not named Donald Trump. They didn’t vote before 2016. They won’t vote in 2024 if TFFG isn’t on the ballot. They don’t matter.
You can not flip a Trump voter, but there are some republicans that will not vote for either candidate. So it will be blank and not count. We need to get people to the polls and to register. I also know people who think because we are such a red state now that there vote in the blue pockets, like STL do not matter. We need to scream yes they do matter.
We out number them just vote
Otherwise, why would republicans make it more difficult to vote?
100%. We can’t afford to waste our time on minds we can never sway or educate. We have to spend every minute wisely
The Trump Cult is alive. Can’t do anything about it.
It is impossible to speak on logical subjects with totally illogical people. A person who still supports trump isn’t dealing with a full deck.
because it is a cult. It is emotional. Logic has nothing to do with it.
Yep.

$2,000,000,000.00 from who for which family?
Yesterday:
Mark Alford @RepMarkAlford
We have a sitting United States President who has potentially taken bribes to further his family’s business deals.Arguably the most serious accusations ever placed on a White House.
What is going to take for the mainstream media to actually cover this???
8:42 AM · Jun 26, 2023
Missed it by so much.
Some of the responses:
Just Janet @JanetMoses17
From someone who rails against the mainstream media Mark Alford sure spends a lot of time trying to get on their shows

Mark Alford @markalfordkc
Great photo thanks
5:14 PM · Jun 26, 2023
Well, okay, I guess. Heh.
More responses:
Probably some solid proof instead of all this “potential” crap you and your ilk keep spewing to try and divert attention from your Mango Messiah.
The problem isn’t the MSM.
It’s the Republicans lying about it.
[….]
Mark, you’re so incredibly tone deaf after all of the deals (bribes) Trump and his family made or took during his time in office. And while we’re on it, what’s it going to take for FOX or any of the other right wing media outlets to cover him accurately?
Of course you mean that twice impeached traitor trump.
Please try some research and it’s not hard to find all the treasonous things that he and his family have done.
If u can’t do that u r one of many we know as hypocritical uninformed people called trumpers
Congressman, Most serious accusations ever? Have you full on drank the koolaid. We’ve had backdoor deals for Iranian arms, watergate, Russian interference, cherry picked wmd info, political insurrections, quid pro quo’s and your saying unsubstantiated bribes is the most serious?
GQP MAGA clown show is why. It’s all LIES.
Attempting to overthrow our government comes in 1st place, Pal. You need to be more responsible with your accusations.
There’s that.
Mark Alford is, quite simply, a lying turd.
The mainstream media should cover him with the ridicule he deserves.
But they won’t, because the mainstream media is pro-Republican.
Mark, NEWS FLASH…trump is no longer president. He lost the 2020 election.
Heh.
Once again no proof or evidence. How much more BS do we need to come out of you?
Ok then, you know and I know this is worse than stupid, MarkAlford you really need better material, it is understood that you have no plans to actually help the folks of the 4th district, you take your mandate to entertain, but this is not even that, this is a snipe hunt
How the hell did get elected. Everybody hates you.
You’re confusing Biden with Trump.

inFrom time to time right wingnut concern trolls try to leave comments here. Our system defaults to automatic moderation – that is, comments have to be approved. We don’t allow such comments to be linked to the original post, but on occasion, when we see fit, we’ll mock these attempts.
We see fit.
A submitted comment:
Wow. Scientology is just guessing. Our native American Brothers an sisters already ready proved what’s going on with the climate. And spending billions of taxpayers dollars isn’t going to fix it. But that’s what democrats do. Biden has run this country into the ground and just about everyone here calls Republicans a cult. He’s done absolutely nothing for this country but sale us out. Atleast we still had a country under Trump. He didn’t kiss the queers ass and wasn’t letting every illegal immigrant in this country for taxpayers to pay for. Democrats have got to be the dumbest people on the planet. To believe all the horse shit Biden is putting out. You should be ashamed. And the democrats are only going after trump so hard because they know what will happen if a republican gets president The Clinton’s an Obamas and don’t forget Biden and the other geriatric fuck. Pelosi. They should be executed for the treason. But you idiots keep blowing off steam. It makes you feel better knowing your part of this countries problem. When the lines are done being made. Then we will fix this problem. An by the way. My sources aren’t fabricated internet bullshit. I worked for this ridiculous government for almost 8 years.
“…Scientology is just guessing….”
Then, it hit us. Our commenting troll was upset about some responses to Eric Schmitt’s (r) social media post which were quoted in Every right wingnut republican accusation is actually a confession, Eric (r). (March 11, 2023):
Did you fail all of your science classes?
[….]
No, it is science. A lot of citizens still believe in science. I wish you did.
[….]
Yeah sure, scientific facts and current extreme weather are just not a problem.
[….]
You’re right Eric, I trust you over the worlds leading scientists on this subject… [….]
[….]
It’s the cultists who cannot differentiate science from the occult.
You get the picture.
We’re doomed.
“…Atleast we still had a country under Trump. He didn’t kiss the queers ass…”
Where do you stand on drag shows? Just asking.
“…It makes you feel better knowing your part of this countries problem…”
Correct and resubmit.
“…I worked for this ridiculous government for almost 8 years.”
So, your participation helped create the problem that appears to upset you? How does that work?
“…When the lines are done being made. Then we will fix this problem…”
Are you sure you’re ready for lines?

Ukraine: Russian Forces’ Trail of Death in Bucha
Preserving Evidence Critical for War Crimes ProsecutionsThe chief regional prosecutor in Bucha, Ruslan Kravchenko, told Human Rights Watch on April 15 that 278 bodies had been found in the town since Russian forces withdrew, the vast majority of them civilians, and that the number was expected to rise as more bodies are discovered. Prior to the conflict, Bucha had a population of about 36,000.

Marjorie Taylor Greene Compares Invading Russians to U.S. Migrants

“We had 5 million people cross our border illegally since Joe Biden took office,” Greene said on Thursday, while flanked by GOP colleagues. “Let’s compare that to how many Russians have invaded Ukraine. 82,000 Russians have invaded Ukraine.”

Well, to start, the Russians used to have a lot of tanks.
She is that stupid.
Right now you’re showing us who you really are, Mark. Parse that.

Why do they bother? Are they somehow convinced that their random talking points are going to persuade anyone else? Or, are they just afraid that if they don’t regurgite anything that they’ll confirm their lack of gravitas with their silence?
Once again. In response to this and its accompanying traffic spike.
As always, this is too easy.
We don’t allow ignorant comments out of moderation to be linked with the original post, but we do occasionally present some of them in subsequent posts for the purpose of public derision and mockery. As we see fit.
Here we are.
We try not to engage right wingnuts directly. By any definition of their thought processes and ideology, it’s a colossal waste of time. [….]
Unless we’re bored or it amuses us.
We are slightly amused.
Once again.
The first comment:
I agree it should not have been certified. Too many laws were broken in the name of Covid. Rules were broken, extended mail in days assigned improperly and so on.
No certification on the ballot? All of the races on the ballots you’re considering shouldn’t have been certified then? That’s the only way you could attempt to make this work. Have you ever bothered to vote? Did you sleep through your civics classes in elementary school? Did you ever attend elementary school? You appear to be really new to the concept of how elections actually work.
Laziness is a personal choice. It doesn’t ever serve the quality of public discourse. And so on.
The next comment:
Hardly a cult in any language. They simply did what the left has been doing every time they lose an election in any category.
Again with the laziness. Tu quoque.
Yes, it is a cult. In any language.
