    This is exactly who you voted for.

    It just didn‘t matter to you because he was shitting on poor people, minorities, foreigners, disabled people, smart people, etc. He on more than one occasion made offhand comments about how stupid he thought his voters were. He has repeatedly made financial deals to serve himself, and repeatedly made geopolitical moves that do nothing but harm America and its citizens.

    But you what…ignored that? You licked the boot and kissed the ring! He couldn‘t possibly be ignoring your particular needs?

      If the Democrats had any sense, they’d run that clip in ads for Democrats in every race later this summer.

      They won’t, but they should.

      I think it will over time and has. There are explicit examples of it. The problem is that the ones who will be moved against him are not doing it from a change of heart.

      They’re still selfish, hateful, and greedy. Its just eventually they reach a point where Trump doesn’t serve them in a way that sates those sociopathic traits. They’re upset that their shitty political project has hurt them, not that its hurt anyone at all.

    There is no waking up.

    They WANT a Christofascist nation. They want it bad enough that they are willing to deal with a born rich felon rapist pedophile who doesn’t care about them to get it.

    To them ALL MEANS JUSTIFY THE END.

    It’s not an issue of waking up. It’s an issue of wanting what they want no matter what. They’ll occasionally whine that they aren’t getting what they want the way they thought they’d get it, but they’re not going to deviate from the path they’ve chosen.

    These are not just confused people. These are BAD people.

      There’s a lot of takes on trumps supporters, but this one rings true for a large subset of them. It doesn’t matter what he does, “he’s an instrument of god”. They see past everything cause they’ve been told all of this has a purpose. The question remains how many of them are in this for selfish reasons and will turn on him and how many are in tits deep into the Maga Christian cult to bring back baby jebus.

    This is exactly what they voted for.

    They are just hurt that its affecting them.

    If everything happened the same way, without affecting them, they’d still be cheering it… because they cheer anything that hurts the “right” people… I.E. people that arent them.

      Nah, the unspoken truth is that they know he hates them and they like it. They hate themselves for being poor as much as they hate everyone else. That’s what MAGA is built on: For every rich prick that is prioritizing their own business interests, there are a hundred thousand myopic fucks who know that they have failed under the current socioeconomic system, and believe wholeheartedly that they would rise to the top if we could reset to a more violent system. The only reason he’s losing support now is that his supporters are finding out in real time that they still fucking suck in their preferred system, or at best they’re malding “NooOOoo, you were supposed to break it all in the way I fantasized myself succeeding, not like this!!!”

      He hasn’t changed a bit since before his first term. Anyone who payed any attention at all can see that. I’ve said it elsewhere, but this kind of post is just an attempt to jump off the sinking ship before history solidifies you on the wrong side of history and morality.

    Unfortunately, everything was organized behind the scenes, it seems that they may have a plan to recreate the events from revelation. I’m not even sure if this is the real Trump or his double.

      Heritage Foundation and co-fascists seem to believe that they can force a god to bring Jesus Christ back, and that he will return in the form of AI… or they just think that enough of the populace will believe it.

      And likely thrice, at that.

      At least when and if this is ever over, researchers will have a literal goldmine of data on mass psychosis and the effects of a nationwide death cult on society to research.

      It objectively is not, even on the issue of affordability. One good example is COVID aid, where the Republicans passed more aid at the federal level than Democrats. (And people didn’t forget when Biden did a rugpull with COVID checks after the two Georgia election wins either.)

      Though, with both parties being so eminently shitty on affordability, it really doesn’t matter. Biden gave lots of speeches about how much he cared about people’s cost of living but didn’t do anything meaningful to improve it, even with the cost of food becoming prohibitive.

      Donald’s dementia is clearly getting worse. I would attribute it to Donald’s fear of being outed for his crimes, which I imagine is extraordinarily stressful. Kind of a bummer that it’s rotting his brain but not giving him cardiac failure.

        I guess you are forgetting that Republicans blocked bills in the Senate and after 2022 in house where they got majority. The bills that Biden managed to get through (for example Build Back Better) were illegally destroyed by DOGE by cutting funding.

          After 2025 and 2026 you no longer get to argue that Biden had insufficient power. That simply isn’t true, as evidenced by Donald. Biden’s actions demonstrate that he did not care about his constituents.

          But feel free to lie to yourself. You can’t gaslight me.

            That’s because trump just decided to ignore every law and running he doesn’t like, and Republican controlled House and Senate and Republican controlled SCOTUS allow him to do it.

              So we agree then.

              I don’t care about civility and I’m not going to use it as an excuse for Joe Biden letting his constituents go homeless and starve. I’d think someone who actually cares about the things they say they care about would be willing to fight for it.

                The problem is that if Biden overstepped his authority, he would get barbecued by his own party. Trump does it and they fucking cheer.

                  No, he wouldn’t.

                  They’d cash in too. And I wouldn’t even mind it if Biden did what he actually promised and Americans weren’t going homeless at lightning speed.

                  Or, instead of that, you can remind me how little you care about egg prices. Because, I gotta say, that last presidential campaign where I was repeatedly told ‘it’s not that bad’ was a whole lot of fun to listen to when I had two elderly parents stuck working for DoorDash.
