“You can’t fool your base.”
Why not? It’s worked for more than a decade.
It should read “You’re hurting us now and not just the people who disagree with us, so that makes us mad! And only about the issues that hurt us, everyone else getting screwed is fine!”
Being fooled is like, their whole thing lmao
It should read “You’re hurting us now and not just the people who are brown, so that makes us mad!”
Let's be real US voting behavior has always leaned towards fucking over any one not light, bright, and white. No other group has consistently voted republican as white ppl. Hating liberals is incredibly recent. Liberals loved Clinton when he was cutting off social benefits because the idea was black ppl were the primary users.
Fooling your base is literally every maga policy
fool me 234,720 times, same on you, fool me.....
They have a saying at Maralago?
no no, that's "please don't get me addicted to smack and sell me into sex slavery"
"You can't fool your base."
Nope but you can discard them when you are done.
Yes you can and yes you can discard them when you're done
Having said that, these are the types that have a short temper and a lot of gums, so I'm unsure of it's a good idea to piss them off
These rubes were followed twice, years apart. These guys are perpetual marks.
Cute. Obviously he can fool his base, but I'm up for anything that makes them turn on him.
Trump attempted an actual insurrection, yet this here is a bridge too far for his base?
No, FTA, it's not too far enough. They're mad he's talking and not bombing them flat and/or glowing.
“You can’t fool your base,” they say without even a hint of irony.
We're unfoolable!
*get fooled by their sweater while trying to get in
"I can't wait to receive my new high quality, US-made Trump phone!"
-- The same fools
You fool me once...You fool me. The point is you can't get fooled again.
-George W. Bush
Fool me once . . . Shame on . . Shame on you . .
Fool me twice . . . Y- . . You can’t get fooled again.
The base is taking about Iran and not the Epstein files. I'd say Trump's done a fine job fooling his base.
He's been doing exactly that for over a decade.
Bullshit. His base still has over 80% approval rating on him. Fuck off with these headlines. His supporters are not "turning on him" for fucks sakes.
You cannot trust anything that Iran signs
Can't believe we got to this, but at this moment I trust the word of Iran over that of the usa.
I'm in the US and I agree.
It's not even that Iran is trustworthy. It's that they are a country that does things, good and bad.
But this US government, their vibe is a worst case combination of weapons-grade incompetence and reveling in how evil they can get away with being. I would expect announcements from the US government to either be market manipulation, a distraction from something else, or a straight up case of lying to the world because they can. These are people who will fuck children to prove to themselves that there is no forbidden fruit out of their reach.
Oh good grief. So some of them don't like his Iran deal, that's not 'turning on him'. They would all still 100% vote for him and will vote for whoever he tells them to, as we've been seeing in the repub primaries. They'll still fall for any scam he throws at them and are perfectly happy to have their taxpayer dollars go to billionaires and grifters while their own benefits are dismantled and their rights taken away.
I’ll believe it when I see it. They’ve been “turning” on him for ages and always keep coming back for the racism.
