    But as a person online, all I can do is hold a mirror to their BS and hope one day they’ll understand.

    Either they are:

    • a troll (therefore nothing you do will sway them)

    • they are genuinely telling the truth and believe their actions just

    Even if it’s the second case, I don’t think you’ll ever convince them. The kind of person that hoses down a homeless person, and label then as undesirables is not one that can be swayed by internet comments. If it isn’t a larp, winter has previously stated they own 3 homes and IIRC used to be a cop. That’s not the type of person who has the capacity for empathy. And I pitty anyone who is so fundamentally broken like that.

    Winter is not somebody you can ever convince. A given passer-by, looking inquisitively into the community when it occasionally pops up when sorting by new, those are the fence sitters still possible to be convinced.

    I only wish this comment chain was front and center, so said passers-by can see how unabashed conservatism cruelty is.

        I full agree with everything you said here. But I think it is going way too far to think that they will ever understand. They clearly get off on the idea of opposing leftist values for the sake of it.

        I’ll do my part just as you to stop this place from being an echo chamber. But assuming they’re not a troll, winter is too far in the deep end. They could lose everything, become a drug addicted homeless person spat on by the rich, brutalized by the police, and thrown in jail for existing and they’d still find a way to blame anybody but themselves and conservatism.

        My best friend is trans. Maybe if you had stopped trolling, you would have realized that since I mentioned it. We hang out all the time with her friends, many of whom are trans.

        I have voted blue in the past. Had you paid attention, you would have known that. My favorite senator was a Conservative Democrat from Missouri. Ike Skelton. I also voted for Obama twice.

        Instead of trolling, try engaging in a conversation.
