    True Trump voters are the masters of double think. Nothing you'll post will own them unfortunately.

    In saying that, posting Epstein flight logs with Trump not highlighted saying 'locking up all celebs on this flight log' is praxis.

      You really shouldn't be looking to own them though? Yes they probably have a ton of shitty opinions but OPs in a positions to maybe push them away from a little of that by turning their brainworms against each other. If they think Trump is against more foreign wars as it wastes money and US troops lives then good, maybe you get a few people who are now indirectly less imperialistic. Or you could just post pigpoopballs I guess?

      I feel like the left is loosing the fight with a lot of the general public because we generally don't engage with people we feel are far gone, but you'd probably find more Trump supports you could turn towards the left due to similar anger against the current system than your average liberal obsessed with civility politics. A lot of these people would likely once have been the traditional union member working class which has massively shrunken over the last few decades. Generally not massively political and holding some reactionary views but at least organised and with some exposure to leftist ideas.

      Descentralization -> "Independence from big government and the other (((tyranical structures)))"

      Mutual aid -> "Helping your <<kin>> in these hard times" -> "We must secure the existence of our people and a future for our children"

      The pro-Trump/ anti-BLM FB group I am in already practices a lot of mutual aid. Made me kind of jealous and confused, to be honest.

    Push the military-industrial complex shit! Never a better time to do it, and maybe if they start thinking about the outsize role corporate money plays in military politics, they'll gain a little awareness. Maybe.

      overplayed imo but I have nothing to offer myself

      It would be hard to spin a picture of brown people holding guns as "conservative" but I like this picture. (Cuban revolutionaries, some with 16 gauge sawed off shotguns which apparently was a well-appreciated firearm of Che Guevara)

      "Fierce warriors from the Republican Spanish party against tyranical oppresion. Sadly they lost because the rest of Europe was allied directly or tacitly to the enemy."

    What about the Adam Smith quotes about how the rich should be expected to pay more in taxes or how landlords have their origin in robbery? Go in distraught that you would find such a quote.

    Is this a good bit or no?

      You could frame wars as mechanisms of the deep state to gather more resources.

    If you want to troll them you can always share a picture of Engels and claim it was your great grandfather who fought for the Confederates in the Civil War, like that guy once did on r/T_D and got upvoted.

    Lenin quote about how as long as the state exists there is no freedom

    Also bearded socialists like Marx or Kropotkin with "to our brave confederate veterans"

    Don't think this would be effective, but I'm curious what their response would be to the "Obama is a war criminal" angle.
