I know that everything Republicans do and say is in bad faith, but if people are working they shouldn’t need assistance at all because they should be getting paid enough money to live.

This is an insane catch-22 where if you need assistance you’re disqualified, because you need to not need it in order to qualify.

For a Republican, if public assistance serves any purpose at all it is to subsidize companies for paying such a low wage that their employees would die if not for the assistance.

It’s not a word to throw around carelessly. Some Christians erroneously believe the Bible forbids the use of this word toward others and that we risk eternal damnation for addressing people this way. What the Bible actually teaches is to never call someone “racca,” which means “empty one” or “worthless.” The Bible also teaches that it is always wrong to call someone a fool if you are doing it out of sinful, unrighteous anger.'

Apropos of no one in particular, the continued trope of "no chuds can be convinced of anything ever" is absent data thus far.

And if we can not convince at least one chud through whatever means possible (punching may work too), then all is lost, and we are in the era of "nothing matters" for a long, long time.

I think what is true is that:
1) You have to acknowledge bad faith arguments and that chuds aren't just conservatism robots who you can make blow up with logic tricks like you're a progressive Captain Kirk
2) On a similar note the Jon Oliver fantasy of homeworking them into defeat also doesn't work
3) Actual change requires folks to realize that people are rarely going to change their stances in a single conversation, but that doesn't mean that challenging them has no impact.

42) Maybe keep trying anyway. Feel free to point out how trump and his nearby friends have hosed up you and them and yours.
43) Or give up trying.

Edit: We've all had the opportunity to work with friends and coworkers who complain. Constantly.

Democracy is nothing but extremely ritualized political violence. It is revolution without the blood. You can consider each vote as a side to pick and whoever has the bigger side (in theory) wins the revolution. The leader is ritualistically deposed and instead of them getting murdered, they get to retire and live a pretty kick-rear end life. The problem with this process is that when you strip the civilizing rituals away, it's still a revolution, but the rituals allowed us to have a peaceful revolution instead of a violent revolution.

If he loses, Trump will do everything he can to keep from leaving office because he will be prosecuted. He's too hated not to be and pardoning will not protect him from state crimes like how Ford pardoned Nixon.

He will call the elections rigged and will do his best to stay in power at the expense of literally everyone else around him. He knows that if he leaves office, this will leave him exposed. In his wild flailing, this will cause a rash of lone wolf terror attacks on racial minorities, trans people, colleges and universities and places of worship. So like now, but a lot worse. Think several times a day. Depending on who wins and how apocalyptic it feels for the right, the more people will die.

Trump will do everything he can to stay in power and he is going to hurt a shitload of people when he leaves office. But he will actually leave office because he won't have surrounded himself with people who will help him keep it. The talent has fled long ago and he inspires no loyalty in who is left. Further, his brain is failing and he won't be able to hang onto power. Depending on how much he loses by, this will probably determine how many people actually die. In a close election, he can make a case for it being rigged, though he'll make a case for it anyway. So I'd personally like about ten million votes as a good cushion, but I'll take whatever.

Most of the damage he'll do will be in the lame duck session and his behavior to save himself will infuriate a shitload of people. He'll excite his base with some really rabid, really horrible poo poo which will toast his legitimacy and he'll get very little backing from the political class because he'll soon be a nobody and they almost all hate him anyway and most of them are craven. He'll float angry tweets from his toilet that everything is rigged and everyone is against him and make very simple and easy to identify insinuations that the people attempting to get rid of him are THE ENEMY!!! and need to be killed with only the thinnest of fig leafs keeping him from being prosecuted and possibly not even that.

You'll see marches basically everywhere wanting to drag his rear end out of office and I'm pretty sure that you're going to see terrorist attacks on these marchers.

If there is anything positive about this event and the events that follow, it's that it will create enough will and activism to push the centrist block into letting some right wing blood, because they themselves will be under threat. And worse, their comfort will be under threat. However, for the political and monied class, I think that the lame duck session will be absolutely terrifying. If Trump tries to hold onto power, and I'm almost sure that he will, the popular protests that follow could very well morph into something else as they find solidarity in hating Donald J. Trump. The violence done against them not by the government, but by the chuds will harden their resolve and it could threaten political and economic stability.

Expect a few years of lone wolf style stochastic terrorist attacks as the right wing gets increasingly dire, but any threat that they pose will be somewhat negligible because the average age of the right wing is old as dirt. They can summon up some right wing militias, but most of them are still pretty old and they'll get absolutely stomped if they overreach.

Also, if we have an economic downturn before the election, Trump will lose by a landslide and the next person in charge will be able to remake the country. This will cause even more violence because this basically spells the end of the reupublican party's ability to win at the presidential level, but they'll still be powerful enough and well armed enough to do a lot of loving damage. Cultures don't just quietly die. If some shitlib gets put in charge they will once again attempt to neoliberalism back on life support like Obama did. If you get Bernie in charge, then with a disorganized right wing, this will put not only white supremacy on the chopping block as official state policy, but also neo-liberal dogma, and you'll see a lot of so called centrists break bread with fascists to keep from paying a single cent in taxes, as it has ever been when capital has ever been credibly been threatened.
