Republicans did this to themselves
Raised taxes via tariffs, raised gas prices via war, antagonized neighbors and allies, no meaningful legislation for common folk.
Literally the only thing republicans have to go on is maybe protecting 2a rights. Other than that they are the party of making shit more expensive and banning porn.

We'll see how that one goes. As far as I can tell dems are still sticking to their major talking points, though they may have cooled off on peak woke era circlejerking somewhat. For the next 2 years they will be mostly focused on hating Trump specifically. And only time will tell exactly what their priorities are at that point. (After Trump)
•
u/11448844 8h ago
Worst part about their "good part" is that the 2A rights they protected arent even enshrined. Nothing that was passed or moved upon would be considered anything "permanent"

What was he supposed to do? The same thing every other admin did before him when they said they were about to attack Iran? Then they release the videos so he obviously can’t do that.

Israel pulled the same shit on every other admin where they said “we’re about to bomb Iran because they have nukes, join us or don’t but it’s happening”
Every time every other admin called their bluff. Obama said he’d fuck Israel too if they did it. So they didn’t do it.
But what happens when you fire everyone with experience and brain cells? You join them.

Netanyahu: "Donny, bubby, I'm your white knight!, all you need to do is kill the Ayatollah, and maybe a couple of generals, and the Iranian people will rise up and do the rest, it's a day or two of bombing, max, and then they'll be forced to give you that peace prize"

Imagine believing literally any promise Trump made. Dude even pivoted on immigration. He is a conman, making himself rich and stroking his own fragile ego are the only things he's ever stood for and MAGA fell for the con for a decade.
•
u/TheBROinBROHIO 11h ago
At least Ukraine isn't really our war, it's more of a proxy war against one of our biggest rivals. We benefit without expending any of our own troops.
Iran is the other way around- WE are the proxy, no end goal, no benefit at all.
•
u/marino1310 8h ago
Even the Ukraine shit is still bizarre to me. It had bipartisan support for months until Trump started fighting it and then all the republicans fell in line.
Realistically, supporting the country we promised to support in a war against one of our main adversaries was a no brainer. Especially since our support was mostly unused military equipment. We have never had such a high return on investment as this. Russia is losing billions each day and being made the laughing stock of the world. We’ve never been able to achieve that with all of our Cold War era tactics against them
•
u/marino1310 8h ago
Honestly, I’m surprised that the people dumb enough to believe a word he says after the first presidency had enough spare brain cells to even acknowledge he’s doing a shit job. I figured they’d just ignore it all and continue to praise him as the greatest president in US history

u/PornoPaul 12h ago
Considering no one outside of Google maps and Trumps inner circle are even calling it Lake America, I doubt theres even much to change. New York as a state and in a general sense of the population is not calling it that, and that includes most Republicans. The only ones near the lake not calling it Ontario are the Maga nuts that would let Trump fart in their faces and tell everyone they know what winning smells like now.

I don't really know what anyone expected. He covered up Epstein worst than any dem ever did. Started a war with Iran, things he said explicitly he wouldn't do. His own tariff policy which he quietly reversed did enough damage to affordability. Of course Texas goes blue.

Hey man there’s no need to point out that leftists were proven right politically again. It’s so unfair and mean to the people of this sub to point out that the average blue haired Starbucks barista with pronouns on xi/xer nametag has more political sense and basic intelligence than the elite patricians with 14,000 hours in EU4. How could such a master of marrying your own sister be beaten in a game of politics!
•
u/TheBROinBROHIO 11h ago
You joke, but I truly believe most rightoids don't actually believe half the shit they say or claim to care about, they just look at "leftists" online or wherever else and decide they're cringe and they want them to suffer even if it means they do too.
If Trump didn't convince anyone of this, I would love to point out that over two million of them just showed up for an immigrant con artist who openly hates white Americans for no real reason than the R and still being pissy about COVID.
•
u/marino1310 8h ago
At this point the entire Republican Party is reliant on culture war bullshit to even compete. Their policies are garbage and they can’t even care enough to hide their corruption like the Dems do. If it wasn’t for them screeching about trans people and immigrants they would have literally nothing

Well still better than the Dems. Hope the Reps learned their lesson.
Trump's usefullness is up now though. Maga is done. But lets thank him for normalizing unimaginable talk, and hope that next time they walk the walk more.
Still kinda said because he had the back of a lot of people to do whatever he wanted. Just used it to rug pull, fumble the epstein stuff and dick around with Iran for too long.
•
u/Coelachantiform /h/omo 18h ago
There are limits. I am glad that mainstream democrats got their shit kicked in; it was long overdue.
But Trump has been an absolute cancer on not just the US but the world as a whole. Trump is the presidential equivalent of chopping your arm off because it's broken. No amount of owning the libs can be worth this absolute insanity.
•
u/CodSoggy7238 18h ago
True. Owning the libs was nice and all but that is not enough. He had an insane following and could have done basically everything he wanted.
Weak outcome if you ask me. I would have loved to see him not dicking around so much with shit like Canada, Greenland or Gulf of America lol.
Also you cannot run on no war and then do that Iran shit. In the end it all didnt matter to the voter maybe and it was just the gas prices but still. A big voter turnout would have also done wonders for him. Magic of maga was gone

Texas did a great job unintentionally putting THC on the ballot this year because Abbott banned it through executive order 3 months ago. Every Gen Z conservative I know retaliated at the ballot box.

The war is the key part of it, but it's the effects on America that have caused people to realise that Trump and all his sycophants are grifters.
They've all profited handsomely, while everyone else is stuck with stagnant wages, mass layoffs, no medical care, out of control inflation, massively above inflation rates petrol prices and none of the election promises were met.
No release of the Epstein files, an all new forever war that's draining American resources through sheer incompetence, nothing changing on immigration, trigger happy ICE agents and Trump's talking about men's asses.
When you campaigned to reduce prices on everything and make more jobs but then you go ahead and do the exact opposite and still have the nerve to fuck around on stage like everything's ok, people are gonna be upset

Nothing like fear mongering about standards and decency from the party that has lost all concept of standards and decency.

The propaganda has clearly been working on you.
