🖤 Resistance Survival Guide #20 🐾🧠
Not all MAGA followers are lost causes. Some are just lost — sucked into rage cults by fear, lies, and Fox News.
But flipping one? It takes more than facts. It takes strategy, empathy, and the emotional stamina of a war medic.
🎯 The Mission: Dismantle disinformation, rehumanize the radicalized, and know when to walk away with your dignity intact
🛠️ Today’s Battle Plan:
Start with the soft red
Not everyone is storming the Capitol. Many are low-key MAGA: your uncle, your ex, your coworker. Start there. They’re easier to reach because they haven’t yet built their whole identity around the cult.
Ask questions, not accusations
“How did you come to that belief?” works better than “How could you believe that garbage?” Curiosity disarms. Condescension confirms their narrative that the left is elitist.
Share stories, not stats
Data rarely deprograms. But a story — personal, emotional, and specific — can hit like a hammer. Talk about someone harmed by their policies, not just the policy itself.
Pick your windows
Holidays? Nope. Group settings? No way. The best time is a one-on-one moment when defenses are low and conversation is natural — not a public stage.
Set your line
Know your emotional limit. If they’re spewing racism or threats, shut it down. This is not “both sides.” This is triage. You are not obligated to bleed out trying to rescue someone who’s throwing fire.
Signal exits
Sometimes walking away is the seed. “I can’t stay close to someone who supports that” is a boundary that might stick in their brain longer than any debate.
Celebrate the cracks
If they ask questions, hesitate, stop parroting slogans — that’s a win. They might never admit the flip to you, but your conversation could be the one they remember.
🔥 Today’s To-Do List
- Think of one MAGA-adjacent person you know
- Review their specific pain points (jobs, health, fear) — not just politics
- Plan a calm, story-based entry into one topic
- Set your boundary: what’s your emotional limit if it goes south?
- Start the convo — and track any shift, no matter how small
💬 Final Scratch from Resistance Kitty
You’re not here to win arguments.
You’re here to win people — or walk away knowing you kept your soul intact.
The revolution needs empathy and armor. Bring both.
