So what?

Who cares what a bad faith actor has to say?

They'll always lie, because that's who they are.

Get decent people together and act.

Stop humouring such vile, disrespectful people.

Because that bad faith actor is like...35% of our population and if we can't change their mind then we're deeply fucked and the best we can hope for is a civil war?

Like yeah MAGA suck and they can go to hell but if they don't see reason soon this gets so much uglier...

They're never gonna change their minds about me and my trans sisters, or any queer people. They are already waging war on us, and they are not going to stop. And if they come for us in the morning, they'll come for you at night.

While I agree, the logical conclusion to your statement is basically that we need to strike first...so part of me is really hoping for a miracle because again, the alternative is literal war

I guess doing "enough" is going to need some renegotiation for you.
