People who still do not grasp the basic concept that MAGA Republicans control the entire government at this point.

I literally saw someone blame the cuts in food stamp benefits on the Democrats, and she meant it. She legitimately thinks that it's Democrats cutting a program Republicans have been trying to get rid of my entire life. I can't even set her straight, because she has me blocked. That's not even the worst part. You know what the worst part is?

This woman, who is ignoring the last five decades of American history, has exactly the same right to vote as I do.

From a psychology stand point, trying to point out the falsehoods of a person’s internalized belief system only serves to make them dig in deeper and defend it.
Don’t argue. Don’t accuse. Instead, gently encourage them to look at the voting records of the party in question and just leave it there. If they were ever capable of independent rational thought, they *might* eventually do it. If not, no amount of facts will sway them.

So true! Very good points you make!

Small point of order here. There is actually no such thing as a MAGA Republican. And further to that, the Republican Party no longer exists in principle in the USA.

The Republican Party when it existed in principle, was always a center-right leaning conservative Party, whereas Trump's MAGA Party (which rode into town on the back of the Republican ticket), is an extreme right-wing Party comprised of evangelical Conservatives and unemployed, uneducated White males and White females.

Therefore to your point, it is Trump's MAGA Party who controls the entire government at this point, not the Republican Party or any vestige of it.
