Conservatives are happy with what Trump's doing.
They are, until it happens to effect them directly.
"He was supposed to get rid of all the slackers and cut off people abusing the system, not fire my entire department!"
"He was supposed to put in tariffs to make China pay more, not to make the price of our goods go up!"
Classic leopards eating peoples faces party behaviour.
You're expecting more disastrous consequences than they are. Time will tell, but I think they'll find the tariff costs worth it for added manufacturing investment.
A lot of them aren't. And when more of them are negatively affected then they won't be either
But they will still vote Republican because nothing the Republicans have done over the last 45 years to ruin their lives has swayed them yet.
Maybe that's just how badly they want to own the libs
I mean that's true with any large group, yeah? Doesn't change the fact that he's doing what they voted for him to do.
They believe he'll still do it. Did you think he was supposed to just pray for it or send the military to Kraft?
He's firing people daily. If he ramps oil production he'll be fulfilling promises to these people. The media will keep reporting on it like firing people is bad and the conservatives will read it and smile.
I don't think you guys understand how they think at all. You've classed them as non human and think any compassion is weakness. Don't ruin yourself to hate on maga fucks.
A lot of them are beyond help. Brains too melted. But there are some people who might not have turned out to vote, due to apathy, or getting hung up on specific issues they were unhappy with Biden about, who are now realizing their mistake. I wish these people had been paying attention, and voted more proactively rather than reactively. Everything he's doing now was warned about.
And if democrats had pursued them with a tenth of the fervor with which they pursued republicans who were never going to vote for them, we wouldn't have trump now.
Bush v Gore was my first election I was eligible to vote. Aligning with a fucking Cheney might at well have been performing satanic rituals on stage. Let's find the biggest fucking ghouls imaginable. That'll help
I mean they're happy because right now it's just "owning the libs". When their social security checks don't show up or their Medicaid gets denied I like to think they'll learn. But the Republicans are already trying to line that up to be "corruption and immigrants". I also like to think that the Republicans will lose some of their propaganda power the longer they are in office. You can only hit the "blame DEI" button so many times before it doesn't work anymore.
