Honestly I dont care if they divine it through the splash their shit made against the bowl this morning as long as they come to the conclusion.

So, Trump siding with Putin over the USA's own intelligence agencies wasn't a big enough red flag for these people?

Nothing is a big enough red flag, but the last thing we want to do is ridicule them when they are starting to see the truth of the matter.

We need to grow our ranks right now, new allies should be welcomed and embraced. Escaping a cult isn't easy

(Also, this example might not be the best, isn't the account a satirical one?)

No, unfortunately he's serious

In all seriousness, we’ve got to make room for folks to return to sanity. When they have these “ah ha” moments we should take those opportunities to walk them back to reality.

All the “leopards/faces” jokes, while cathartic, aren’t really helping and encourage people to turn their backs on sanity for comfort.

Is there actual concrete evidence of any MAGAs "returning to sanity" over this stuff? As much as I'd love to be wrong, I'm skeptical that anyone still in the MAGA camp after the past 10 years could see this administration do any kind of heinous shit and not immediately dismiss it as false or rationalize it in a way that conforms to the party narrative. I think they've all been irreversibly brainwashed by Fox News and weaponized social media.

Is there any evidence mocking them and alienating them from our views helps? People leave cults after being in them for years, so it’s not like profound change cannot occur at any time.

Plenty of regular people are rightfully very distrustful of certain 3 letter agencies because of the histories of those agencies. That alone is far from a red flag. Combined with his positions on things like the BLM protests though...
