    What if I told you that people who vote for Trump aren’t doing so for his fiscal policy? 🤔

      I’ve watched interviews of MAGAts being asked what specific Trump policy made their lives better and their answers are always “the economy”.

        They know that the real reason isn’t popular so they won’t say it most of the time.

        “He’s hurting the wrong people!”

        That’s all one needs to know, to determine that they are only about needless suffering, for needless suffering’s sake. They are not interested in helping anyone. They want to ensure that you have to suffer at least as much, and preferably more than they did.

        This particular ideology is literally counter to every previous ideology. They finally managed to create more than enough for everyone, and for the first time in human history a generation decided to be so greedy that their descendants are less well off than their parents.

        Welcome to late stage capitalism.

        I just saw a headline that most Republicans think he should be the candidate regardless of if he gets convicted of his various crimes.

        I didn’t actually read it so take it with a grain of salt lol.

          For real, he’s the icon of deregulation, I get the feeling they would be happier to vote for him if he was actually in prison.

            He’d just be the pariah they so desperately desire. “See?! He was locked up for being too cool!”

        They don’t care about facts. Their feelings are what makes their policy. That is specifically why they touted the “facts not feelings” meme. They don’t have to abide by it, and it restrics everyone else. They have no shame, they have no sense of hypocrisy. Every single accusation is nothing more than a confession, and we should start ignoring their bullshit red herrings.
