    If you thought Trump was ever going to help you or keep his word on anything, you are just aggressively, ferociously stupid. You knew EXACTLY what he was and was warned 1000 times what he was. You got told.

    Conservatism is, as always, a complete failure of empathy, a lack of ability to recognise that if you don’t care about other people and you choose to put people who also don’t care about other people in charge, the people in charge simply and absolutely don’t care about you or your friends or your family.

    Conservatives don’t understand that “them” and “us” are actually all just us.

      These idiots really don’t understand how it works, do they? “trans the kids”

      nobody was transing the kids, idiot Austin. That’s not how anything worked.

      I didn’t vote for this

      Didn’t you know what you were voting for?

      Yes.

      Well, he’s a liar, an idiot, or both. I’m going with both.

        They have to. Their world view is so fragile that accepting they’re wrong about even the smallest thing risks shattering the whole.

          So I am someone who used to get defensive when I was wrong about something, until I heard a great trick. Think of being corrected as knowing the truth, then spin it in your head that now that you know the truth you are now right. It’s selfish as hell, but it works for me. Less defensiveness, less arguing, better mentality.

      So he clearly shows he knows next to nothing butwhat he’s been shovel fed. He’s using trans in a verb form, which shows his ignorance very clearly. Maybe if he learned more or met some trans individuals (you see, it’s an adjective in this sentence), he might understand more. But empathy is a sin, so can’t do that. That Bible he knows 4 words from says so, he was told it said that, along with hating homosexuals and immigrants… jfc, I’m so sick of blatant stupidity. I can forgive ignorance, but wanton idiocy just flabbergasts me. We as humans crave knowledge and are by nature curious. Why some people are content to just sit like automatons and refuse to learn anything I just cannot comprehend.

      it’ll never cease to be hilariously ironic that conservatives love to call others naïve, as they themselves fail to realize that people will tell blatant lies in order to get votes

        It’s all projection. Poorly educated people cannot comprehend that people smarter than them exist.

        Anyone who think they are smarter must be an idiot and must be more naive than a them to believe they are actually smarter.

          While I agree, education and intelligence are not equivalent. Be careful when calling well-educated people “smart”

            I use poorly educated to mean people who do not pick up the education skills to keep themselves educated.

            One can graduate from an Ivy League and be poorly educated, we’ve had presidents that prove this to be the case.

            There is a difference between being given and education and becoming educated. One can become educated by sheer personal will as well as reject education despite all external efforts.

            Good does not equal well.

            Bad does not equal poor.

    Notice that they voted for “Trump” but that it’s “government” that damaged their business. Curious.

      It’s a genuine mistake (/s), they thought that pro-business/anti-regulations would help their small business.

      As with everything, they lied. It’s about billionaires making more billions, at the expense of EVERYONE else - workers, but also other businesses. I’m convinced that all the rest, including the racism, xenophobia, transphobia, misogyny and overall bigotry are just tools to convince people to act against their own interests.

        They didn’t even lie. They said this is what they were going to do. He chose to believe that plan would only hurt people he disliked.

      people picked wealth over human rights and healthcare.

      Let’s not pretend that either human rights or healthcare were on the ballot in 2024.

        The republicans came within a vote of defunding Obamacare in 2018 and have talked about kicking out immigrants for a generation. To say that neither of those things were on the ballot is incredibly naive.

          Sorry, I thought you meant universal healthcare, not a half measure from a decade and a half ago.

          Democrats already adopted republican border policy last year.

          Neither was on the ballot. Neither candidate wanted universal healthcare, and neither was going to protect civil rights.

        that is what the de minimis loophole is though, and it is ideologically consistent with tariffs and trumps economic view so it is what he voted for
