Hurting brown people and "communists" is more important than anything else to that 1/3.
btw "communists" are just any people who think the health insurance industry is fucked and way too expensive, and that all people deserve to be treated equally, and that the ultra wealthy shouldn't have as much power as they do.
Has nothing to do with actual communism but the far right propaganda machine is trying to poison any of these ideas with a radioactive word to anyone who remembers the red scare in the 1950s (which, btw, was also a complete bullshit witch hunt because workers were getting too many rights at that point and starting to cut into potential profits of the ultra wealthy cancerous tumors).
I have seen two different people recently with a trump 2028 yard sign, and wearing a trump 2028 shirt. People are evil morons.
It's a cult. Most will never stop believing.
They’re locked in a decades-long cycle of abusive extraction.
American religion, politics, economics, and ecology are reaching the limits of an unsustainable system that only knows how to extract wealth and power. The Soviet Union collapsed for similar reasons. Above all, that form of government collapsed under the weight of propping up The Party’s false reality and its debts to the truth. Real operating principles flow from hard-learned evidence, experience, and wisdom. Societies simply cannot operate indefinitely from convoluted principals engineered to benefit only the few. This is the flaw in the philosophy behind modern conservatism - it’s fundamentally abusive.
People stick with the devils they know. When long-term planning is negated by the cognitive load of navigating abuse, it can be almost impossible to adapt to new sustainable modes of thinking and living. When the house of cards collapses, those unable to adapt cannot be saved.
Turns out the people who are quickest to say something is unamerican are also the same people who will ignore American values like the Pledge of Allegiance and the US Constitution just to "win."
The Pledge began as a marketing gimmick:
As branding expert John Gorman outlines, the pledge began with an initiative from The Youth’s Companion, a Boston-based magazine looking to expand beyond its religious roots. To reach a broader audience, the editors launched a nationwide effort to place American flags in public schools, offering them as incentives for new subscriptions.
Not such a great example of "American values", or perhaps since it started as a corporate marketing gimmick it's a perfect example.
Because he wears a red tie or whatever the team colors are
He "triggers the libs"
Because 1/3 of Americans what to rape children.
It's probably those that think it's liberal media lies (I was going to use slander but they probably don't know the meaning of the word) and he's doing a good job at sticking it to the Democrats.
matching his post-Jan. 6 trough
WTF happened in the interim? Fucking bird brains forgot about all the impossibly stupid shit he did and said?
Nothing has actually moved his approval more than a few percentage points up or down since mid-2016. He had slight bumps in approval at the start of both terms in office, but otherwise his approval hovered at or close to the low 40s.
They would have to know it to forget it. Our news sources had poor and little coverage of it all long term. Their news sources praised and cheerleaded it. They don't live in reality.
He continued in a similar, ranty vein, “Don’t believe the Radical Left’s Fake Poll numbers. They are Crooked and Corrupt, just like the Country Destroying Dumocrats are Crooked and Corrupt. VOTE REPUBLICAN FOR GREATNESS IN AMERICA!”
I realize a lot of Americans hate the radical left, but could they really be any worse than these shit-for-brains Republicans? And I'm not talking about violent Stalin apologists, who are essentially non-existent offline, but democratic socialists.
"Everything that doesn't agree with me doesn't exist"
Okay, so the media is ownsd by the right wing, as is the administration and supreme court, and all the tech billionaires, BUT for some reason the polls are owned by the leftwing?
Facism 101: the enemy is both strong enough to be feared and weak enough to ignore at the same time.
Good. I hope it gives that pedo rapist high blood pressure and keeps his sorry ass up at night.
Trump sublimates when the wrong numbers go up
