From Rs I know, it didn't matter what Trump said. He had an R next to his name and that's all they cared about. They could have put up a blow up doll and as long as Fox or any right wing media promoted it, they would vote for it. It's the tribalism. Context didn't matter.
But Kermit the Frog is not a fascist and believes all the kids on the playground should be happy, safe, fed, and educated. So he would have been infinitely better.
No idea. Ask the 30-year old, toothless meth addict whose selfie video of her crying because cutting HER welfare was “not what I voted for!!!” went viral.
lol. When he says and thinks dumb stuff I tell him he’s saying and thinking dumb stuff. No need to be nice. 🤣 And where I leave off, my niece picks up.
Well, they’re kind of racist so it’s this wink and nod kind of BS. They always thought it was about ‘the other.’ Now they get it’s about everyone. No one is safe. Not even white good ole boys.
The white good ol boys are the ones who will be hurting the most. They have nothing of value to offer to the world or its culture but have felt entitled to be taken care of by the govt for generations. Shit’s about to get real for Jimbo.
After being a NASA contractor for 20 years, this is so true. So many useless people. If DOGE could ever remove people based on how much they don't contribute, it would be the greatest justice ever.
I worked for a federal agency before I had kids. When I was bright-eyed and bushy tailed, and believed in people. What an eye opener. I was dumbfounded by how much waste I saw my first year. Not only support staff doing nothing all day (besides printing 20-page Bible stories on the color printer)..
but they would come in at 9, turn down tasks I asked for help with (literally their job) bc they didn’t want to start something too close to the time their 3pm train came. And the “rules of how we generally do things” meant waiting weeks for inter office mail to request and receive a signature.
Unreal. It seemed to me that some parts of the federal govt were just giant payroll offices for complacent people who wouldn’t be able to keep a job in any sort of competitive environment. There was not a lot of critical thought happening. (I’m a bleeding heart liberal, but come on!!)
For those of us who are engaged it's hard to believe but there are many people who didn't know Trump was impeached, didn't know who Jack Smith was, believed January 6th was just a riot (if they knew about it) and made their decision based on 60 second sound online, #LowIinformation #voters
These “Trump voters slowly realizing Trump isn’t out to help them” stories make much more sense when you look at them through the prism of people realizing that they’re in a cult.
Keep this in mind when they say they recognize that Trump is hurting them while still, for now, swearing their support.
To have all this make sense, we need to remove the assumption that they are intelligent people, and use the premise that they are not inteliigent people.

It's just, it's not like any of this was ever subtle.
