Put me in a Trump run death camp. Me and all my new pals will be living better than most Americans in the new order within a week. For sure would rather be there than a part of Gilead.
Fascism is great for the supporters, at first. They get to steal tooth gold.
On one hand, I wonder what would make someone so disillusioned to believe Trump would be good for America. On the other hand, I read comments like yours and realize a lot of people are this dumb.
Oh? What did I say that is so dumb?
If you have to ask...
If you can't say...
The same exact things that made them disillusioned 6 years ago? Their life is getting worse at an accelerated pace and have been for many decades now. The "System" does not work for them and they are tired of pretending it does.
Despite 'Bidenomics' - we, the working class, are poorer now than we have ever been. Trump is still a hand grenade to throw at the establishment.
They don't believe the Democrats have their best interests, and a substantial number don't believe Republicans have their best interests at heart - which is why it's Trump or Bust. Trump represents to them what Bernie represented to Democrats - actual change.
But it doesn't really matter what I, or anyone else, says. You've already decided what you think about all of these people.

This is fallacy. It may work to attract a certain type a voter but in practice Trump bends over backwards to appease the GOP. He lines his cabinet and campaign with GOP old guard and is set out to accomplish GOP policy goals. Not once in my interactions with any Trump supporters have they hinted at doing anything that wouldn't be aligned with typical conservative ideology. Trump is the GOPs creation. Nothing more. Nothing less.
Under his orange eye, brother.
