MAGA Suddenly Wants 'Common Ground' When Trump Hurts THEM?

[QueerDuck]

MAGA voters are suddenly talking about “finding common ground.” Now that the policies they supported are hitting their own lives, they want unity and cooperation. But let’s be honest about what actually happened. Millions of people voted for a candidate with felony convictions. They voted against women’s rights. They voted against gun reform. They voted against raising the minimum wage, universal healthcare, and taxing the wealthy.

Those votes had consequences.

Now that the same cruelty, dishonesty, and reckless leadership are starting to affect their own wallets, their own healthcare, and their own families, the call suddenly becomes “let’s come together.” But accountability matters. Political choices matter. You can’t spend years supporting policies that harm others and then ask for immediate forgiveness when the damage circles back.

This conversation is about responsibility. Democracy only works when voters own the outcomes of the leaders and policies they support. If the country is going to move forward, it starts with honesty about the choices that got us here.

1. To ask for forgiveness...

Before casting a vote against them
They may be Trump suckers but we're not

[intheozone]

2. I have no fucks left to give about them! nt

[Resistance1]

8. I do...

FUCK 'EM!! FUCK THEM ALL!!!

[TBF]

3. Yes - he touches at least briefly on a lot

women's rights/abortion
rape/pedophilia
poverty/homeless
health care
minimum wage
racism/bigotry
general costs such as gas


I would add that there's no common ground until we address both economic inequality and social equality. Nothing about homosexuality. Nothing about abuse towards transgendered folks. The racism/bigotry of MAGA voters is where we really have a deep recess. I'm having a very difficult time "finding common ground" with folks who want to build concentration camps. It has started with "illegal aliens". What happens when they decide all people who aren't white republican male straight Christians are "alien" to them?

It needs to stop and MAGA needs to be gone. Their leaders need to be impeached and tried, where applicable, for their war crimes. Then we can have a conversation about common ground and whether we can do another 250 years of this "experiment".

31. Arrest

Arrest them all until trial. I have lgbtq children and they don’t go to club anymore because they are scared of getting shot. FUCK THEM ALL

[TBF]

35. same -

my daughter is gay. I'm not into the "oh let bygones be bygones" after what they've done.

[CrispyQ]

4. And when he's gone, & the drama & chaos die down, & things seem better, who will they vote for?

A huge majority of them will go back to voting republican & you can take that to the bank.

[Justice matters.]

13. Yep. The professional liars at fox will circle their wagons 24/7

And they will all flock back in line like the gullible un-educated cretins they've always been.

[Scubamatt]

22. Unfortunately,

this is 150% true - unless the MAGA leaders in Dump's administration are actually held accountable for their wrongdoing. When we take back control, I do NOT want to hear about "looking forward" or "healing the country" or "reaching out to the other side" unless and until folks are held to account for their wrongdoing. If the rank and file MAGA voter sees and understands that there are actually consequences to being a treasonous grifter who only represents, at most, a third of this country, then they might think twice about associating with the movement.

[Grokenstein]

28. "Oooo, a tax break? SOLD!"

[CrispyQ]

37. Tax cuts don't matter when you don't have a job.

That was a bumper sticker I saw back in W's time. You'd think the dems would have hijacked it & used it during campaigns & tax cut legislation, but no. SMDH

[ProfessorGAC]

5. Simple Question For Those Folks

Will you vote for democrats now?
If the answer is no, I have no interest in hearing their problems.

[QueerDuck]

44. A sensible question. I'll warmly welcome there blue-vote... but I'm not going to be their friend, or their...

... counselor, or therapist, or advisor. They can very well fuck themselves.

[Vogon_Glory]

6. If you MAGAs out there want common ground with us "Dummy-crats" and "libs," you'll have to prove

Talk is cheap and your say-so has been cheapened below the value of soiled toilet paper. If you want some help, PROVE IT! Vote Democratic this fall and we might be willing to listen.

[c-rational]

7. K&R

[Vinca]

9. Here's your common ground: vote blue.

[ffr]

10. I think, in their honor, we should adopt the Hegseth policy of no quarter given.

Too bad. So sad, snowflakes.

Get back to us when you fully support Democrats and governmental norms. Until then, eat sh*t!

[yankee87]

32. Winner

You win the internet

[Gaugamela]

11. That's easy enough. They can simply stop trolling and start voting Democratic.

In the meantime just suck it up, buttercup.

[orangecrush]

12. Open Arms

This is not the time for purity tests.


?v=1751977409

[Volaris]

24. I wont speak for anyone else, but im not asking for a purity test, per se...

I WOULD like an acknowledgment from some of these clowns that the rest of us TOLD THEM 'ITS A FUCKING LEOPARD.' would go a long way...

[orangecrush]

41. Here

https://www.democraticunderground.com/100221099190

It turns out a couple of liberal YouTubers noticed the guys video and commented on it.

Here Belle of the Ranch" mentions the "Marine combat veteran 3 time Trump voter" in the video I posted.

[Mblaze]

14. Next year, after Dems crush the midterms,

They'll return to complaining that Dems don't fix it fast enough.

[BComplex]

30. I'm ready to vote for a PURE majority of dems that WILL ACTUALLY FIX IT!

I haven't seen that so far. Dems just seem to go back to business as usual, and that won't play anymore with me. This whole mess has proven that there are multiple systems that are TOTALLY broken, and we need fighters who will actually fight to fix the problems.

It's time that all elected Democrats WOKE up!

[chowder66]

15. The simple fact that they voted for an adjudicated rapist was all that I ever needed to know about those that support

him. Hell, the fact that they voted him in for a 2nd time is bad enough.

[gopiscrap]

16. fuck MAGA the only solution I can suggest for them is

to commit suicide

[Emile]

17. Great post QueerDuck, thanks for posting this!

[Cherrycheeks]

18. Kicked&Recommended!

[BattleRow]

19. Only thing bigger than their inflated egos is their chutzpah.

Reminds me of the old joke about what is chutzpah?

A son killing his mother and father,then throwing himself on the court's mercy because he is now an orphan....

Not really funny,but illustrative.

[FakeNoose]

20. All true, but our problem isn't the MAGA voters

As Democratic Party regulars, our problem was that we lost the independent and once-in-a-while voters who SHOULD HAVE SEEN all this, but instead they closed their eyes and voted for Chump.

And don't get me started on the huge number of Americans who didn't care enough to vote, and never gave it a 2nd thought. If we can get them to show up at the polls and vote D, it won't matter what the MAGAs are crying about.

[Hassler]

21. I would welcome them back to reality

As long as they know all of this was known and predicted by millions of us who were warning them. They dismissed our warnings, and often mocked us. So, as long as they can take a long look within to learn why they believed it and to then exorcise those grievances and beliefs, and going forward change their behavior, I am open to them.

A simple ask, but difficult for most. More likely they will simply look for the next guy offering the same thing and convince themselves this time will be different.

[ChicagoTeamster]

23. Especially not after laughing and saying "screw them, their libs, let their houses burn"

[Fil1957]

25. If they decide they want to vote blue 'cause of the leopard eating their face, I welcome them unconditionaly with open

arms. Anybody that wants to be part of the solution should be welcomed even if they helped cause the problem in the first place. Let bygones be bygones, this is an existential crisis and we need and should accept any and all the help we can get.

[QueerDuck]

27. Let them "vote blue" if that makes them feel better. But I'm not going to offer pity or support or friendship...

... to console or make them feel better. They've shit in their own bed... let them lay in it or clean it up themselves.

[Fil1957]

29. Fair enough.

[TBF]

33. Letting "bygones be bygones"

is easier when the results aren't so severe.

How many people have been killed since (and including) the Jan. 6th insurrection? Venezuela, Iran, Salvadorean prisons, the streets of Minneapolis with ICE literally shooting citizens?

Yes, we can have some ground rules and move forward after MAGA is removed, but "let bygones be bygones" is really not the stage we're at here.

It's not just a football game or something ...

[OldBaldy1701E]

26. Absolutely not.

Even with the voting against their own interests, these people were the scum of the earth when the time came in the past for 'coming together'. I know that even some here saw the vitriol and hate these people were spewing against the entire Democratic establishment.

And, now you want us to pretend that you were just 'being conservative' when you voted for a felon who instigated an insurrection and got away with it, a criminal who has been in court rooms his entire life, a sleezeball landlord who discriminated whenever it suited him and then tried to lie about it. You want us to just pretend all of this was just a 'political disagreement'?

How about 'NO'? Does 'NO' work for you? Because it works great for me.

[SergeStorms]

34. The only "common ground" remaining with them....

is the ground in which we'll be buried. Even then, I'd prefer to be buried with fellow human beings, not hateful, misogynistic, racist, criminal, pedophiles, if that's possible.

I was never, nor am I now, perfect, but I believe everyone has a right to human dignity, decency, and respect. None of those things are within the MAGA lexicon, so even in death I don't wish to be associated with them.

I'll have to find a "No MAGAs allowed" cemetery, I guess.

[Norrrm]

36. Common ground? Frankly...

[North Coast Lawyer]

38. Consequences are a bitch.

I'm so tired of conservatives droning on about personal responsibility for others but not for themselves. MAGA folks voted for this insanity. Liberals and conservatives need to suppress their instinct to comfort and help the afflicted. Conservatives need to learn some hard lessons.

I'm reserving my empathy and support for the people MAGA targeted.

[Warpy]

39. There is no common ground

with people who want to be ruled by a divine right king instead of the rule of law.

[snot]

40. ok, but

united we stand; divided we fall.

"I can hire one-half of the working class to kill the other half."

– Jason "Jay" Gould, per Philip Sheldon Foner, History of the Labor Movement in the United States Vol. 2: From the Founding of the A. F. of L. to the Emergence of American Imperialism, P. 51 (1998, 2d ed.).

Let's focus on the common ground – of which I believe there's plenty – and not be the tools of tyrants who use division to keep us powerless.

[Joinfortmill]

42. Amen!

[Jack Valentino]

43. If they want any 'help' now, they need to vote for Democrats!

This is your ONLY solution, MAGA! because

The Republicans aren't going to help you!

[returnee]

45. Here's an idea:

1) admit you were were completely intellectually and morally wrong for supporting TSF, your repub representatives, and all those fascist influencers.
2) start supporting current elected Democrats and Democratic candidates with your speech, your money, and your votes.

[Ruby the Liberal]

46. "You're going to find out racism is expensive"

This whole thing was genius.

[hoosierspud]

47. Comedian Steve Hofsteter said that

We should tell them that it's great that they realized they were wrong, then we need to ask them what they are going to do to help us fix things.
