Signs of strain are emerging for President Donald Trump, even among supporters who once backed him without hesitation. On Runaway Country, host Alex Wagner highlighted a moment from a congressional hearing that underscored the growing sense of regret, featuring a veteran who said he deeply regretted voting for Trump after his wife — who had lived in the United States…
All the warnings fell on deaf ears, huh? Must be service-related hearing-loss.
Also I have to remind myself that a hundred “leopards ate my face” stories still only represent a tiny drop in the ocean of assholes who are cheering on the fourth reich
I’m now of the opinion that most of the “trump voters” (which, again, not the majority of the country, and I’m not 100% convinced the election wasn’t bought or stolen) are either ignorant but generally well-meaning people who probably thought Reagan was fine and just want this admin to be over with while keeping everything they have and, ideally, “getting more” - OR - are the racist bigoted garbage people we mostly assume them all to be on here.
The difference is enormous, and it is absolutely controlled and maintained by traditional media. (Which now includes the trainwrecks of facepals and the nazi twits.)
Totally preventable, absolutely foreseen, and fwiw explained 1,000 different times in as many ways. But here we are either preaching to the choir or fighting with leftists because they’re the only other ones smart and/or savvy enough to be here.
TL;DR it’s not going to get better without a popular Democrat.
It’s not going to get better even with a popular democrat. Over and over again, even as the leopards are ripping their faces off, they announce that they’re sad about getting eaten, but they would totally vote for the Orange Felon again.
Politics for them isn’t about choosing a good government, or getting someone to represent them properly. It’s team sports, and you have to vote for your team so your side wins.
I think that’s partially true but not completely. A popular Democrat shifted things to the better in 92 and 2008. They did so amongst most of the same Fox “News” and Limbaugh followers that had sewn up everything before.
Yes, there are ‘sports fan’ politics that will never vote for a woman, god forbid a black woman, or a gay man, probably for our foreseeable lifetimes. Right now, they tip the scales.
So when the Democrats put forth a white man next (or, possibly, a black man) let’s not be shocked. I mean, this place will go up in flames and our ‘leftist’ compatriots will work overtime to defeat them again, but - that’s why we’re here (again). Because the majority of voters can’t imagine a better world that isn’t very much like the one we live in now. And imo that’s true across most if not all democracies.
Radical progressivism has no allies. Radical conservatism has immediate history, allies, and a very, very low bar to entry. So if we don’t move forward from the middle, it’s probably not going to move forward. That’s not ideal, but it’s likely the reality.
You know, I never liked Jackass, or reality tv. I’m not even a big fan of The Office, because I just don’t find pain very funny. But at this point there’s just no excuse.
the problem is that someone else is suffering the day he voted for, he is just upset the government took his property

Or thought half of what Trump said was just to “trigger the libs”.
so they weren’t just evil, but stupid and evil
She married a MAGA Republican so I doubt she was amazing either.
she’s fits in “leopards ate my face” for the guy it’s “leopards took my property”.
And she chose to be with a racist piece of shit, and now she suffers the consequences of her actions. Pardon me while I make a fucking sandwich.
I dont mind the petty schadenfreude,

Because jackass is just someone getting hurt, here? The world is a better place because leopards ate their faces
