For Blue Dots in Red Areas, or just ANYONE dealing with MAGATs,

name the Biden Administration's successes this term.

When they say "sleepy Joe" or try to imply he doesn't know where he is, I ask how it is he is so mentally defunct that he beat the living shit out of Trump with every debate they had.

He got us out of Afghanistan

Helping Ukraine

Covid relief and support

Name others that matter to you

They have their talking points to refute anything.

They will tell you that tfg won the debates, that the exit from Afghanistan was a messed up debacle, we should be spending our money here in this country and to heck with Ukraine, Covid is a hoax and the vaccines kill people, trumps policies were great for America even if he’s a “little rough around the edges”, etc. etc. I have right wing relatives so I have heard all this before.

This comment I quoted is from my 68 yr. old sibling who thinks $1200/mo is nothing more than pocket change. A pittance.

they'd have spent it.

Why is tax withholding done? Same idea. People would not manage that money properly in the meantime and wouldn't have the cash to pay on April 15.

They have so far gone down the rabbit hole of trumpism it is a waste of time. Every time I say something to them they react in shock and resort to name calling. They are unable to see how bad trump is. It is definitetly a cult.

I know better to debate with them because they will drag you down in the mud where they are the experts.

There are a few others on there that are not quite so cut and dried as people might like to think.

In theory you are correct on the surface about the war and rebuilding the south but after the war the administration instead of giving former slaves the same right they passed laws of suppressing those rights. Not just on the federal level but the southern states as well.
