But this is also why I find MAGAs to be far and away the weakest and most cowardly people in this country—because instead of voting for politicians who at least make a consistent effort to ensure they struggle less they wallow in self-pity by demanding to be lied to by charlatans — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

And this is where I do have some empathy for MAGAs, as I don’t want anyone to have a sad life But it’s also why I’m a Democrat The Democratic Party—profoundly imperfectly, I admit—does infinitely more than the GOP to try to *raise the standard of living* for those who struggle — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

The unresolved question is *why* MAGAs beg so hard to be lied to, and the answer is that most of them are fundamentally unhappy people who are looking for someone to provide them with a false narrative that briefly gives them a hit of dopamine and lets them forget their sad lives — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

The more you lie to MAGAs, the more they worship you, which is why the most unrepentant liars—Trump, Don Jr., Bannon, Posobiec, Alex Jones, Stone, Gaetz, Greene, Jordan, and their ilk—are their biggest heroes Democrats must understand that lying is a feature not a bug in the GOP — PolitiTweet.org

There must never be a national divorce in America (for too many reasons to enumerate), but there’s also no reason to engage with—or have respect for— MAGA cultists: their weak personalities and “lie to me harder daddy” ethos is killing America and they cannot be forgiven for that — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

So the reason Republican trolls always cite mental stability, courage, and temperamental superiority in their trolls of Democrats is because their entire political party only continues to function because of their own weak wills, cowardice, and meekness—and deep down they know it — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

And since we can’t do anything to change the character of our fellow Americans, the rot in the Republican Party will grow in perpetuity because the one thing that could stop it would be Republicans having the courage to refuse to be lied to, which clearly these cowards never will — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

There *are* Democrats who accept being lied to by their leaders and leading Democratic figures, but by and large the ethos in the Democratic Party is to not suffer BS In the GOP, the only way to prove your commitment is to let yourself be steamrolled by known liars and criminals — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

If you’ve ever been trolled en masse by MAGAs, you know their big thing is hating on women; calling their enemies effeminate is basically the first and only trick in their bag Meanwhile, these weak-willed marks desperately want to be lied to and disrespected by anyone with power — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

Democrats must understand that the response of MAGA voters to being lied to—whether it’s by Trump, Steve Bannon, Jack Posobiec, CPAC clowns, or FNC and OANN—is “lie to me harder, daddy” Democrats can’t force MAGAs to have self-respect; if they love being lied to, that’s forever — PolitiTweet.org

@brynadamson So I am not saying anything wrong happened. You introduced that word to the conversation. I used the word “unusual.” And it is. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

@brynadamson Whoa there! There’s nothing wrong with jurors having whatever opinion they have at the conclusion of a trial. It’s just usually the case that when three jurors are uncertain, and it’s a murder case, and there was 6 weeks of evidence, 45 minutes is not enough to resolve the issue. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

@PamAdam93582596 Yeah, I think that would have definitely gotten on my nerves if I had been paying attention to the trial. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

@supertech427 @mrsangiecox Yeah, honestly Netflix should not have done that and the lawyers should not have allowed it. This is the first I am hearing of that series (as I said, I really did not follow any of this). — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

@AdamG01UNC It’s almost always the job of the foreperson to underscore to their fellow jurors that an initial vote for conviction/acquittal doesn’t mean that the jury isn’t going to review the evidence. It’s almost unheard of for a jury to stop after the first vote. A judge wouldn’t have it. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

@brklynmind Sorry, maybe I wasn’t clear. What I’m saying is that any case where the initial jury vote is 25% for something *other* than conviction is not being treated as a “slam dunk” by the jury that heard the evidence, whatever folks at home watching on TV may be thinking about it all. — PolitiTweet.org

@CalZoniGalT Certainly possible. It’d just also be a very uncommon sort of occurrence to have happened to three jurors after so many weeks of evidence being presented and gone over ad nauseam. (Also that there would be just a single piece of evidence that would swing 3 jurors in <45 minutes.) — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

(In theory a juror might vote for acquittal in a first vote just to ensure there’s a full airing of the evidence, but after 6 weeks clearly there *was* going to be an airing out even if the initial vote was unanimous for conviction, so I struggle to think that that explains it.) — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

(Again, just to emphasize, I’ve no opinion on the verdict because I don’t know the facts of the case. It’s just highly unusual for three jurors to sit through six weeks of evidence in a murder trial, *not* be ready to convict, and then be convinced to a conviction in 45 minutes.) — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

I followed nothing about this case. But as someone who’s tried homicides, I turned to my wife—when I learned that the first jury vote was 25% for acquittal or “I don’t know” and became 100% for conviction in *45 minutes*—“Huh... that’s pretty unusual for a six-week murder trial.” — PolitiTweet.org
