At least that was 3rd grade. I had an *8th* grade teacher of *American History* teach the War of Northern Aggression and she referred to the Confederacy as “we”. As in, “We never lost a battle within the borders of Texas”.
So I was talking with my dad and some other Trump voters in individual conversations over the weekend and my conclusion is that many Trump 2024 voters simply don’t believe the campaign’s policies will be executed.
When I brought up across the board tariffs, and how that’s not going to help food prices go down, the response was “that’s not going to happen”. Instead he believes some responsible “targeted tariffs” will be what happens- despite all evidence to the contrary.
Same for Obamacare. “He won’t get rid of protections for pre-existing conditions”. And Medicare changes? “he won’t touch Medicare”
lol ok. There’s no point in arguing policy because I think a lot of Trump voters are similar. Thinking they were just voting for a change at the White House, but not actually believing that Trump will pursue the few policies he ran on.
I will be watching this thread.
Goodbye federal funding for special needs kids. This is another policy that people have no understanding of the real impact - especially in rural communities
Somebody please explain to me how 7 million people will be deported. Let’s forget that no one ever asked Trump how he’s going to pay for his policies, let’s just start with who will be making arrests. The military? Local police? The FBI? And how is this going to work- SWAT teams roll into an immigrant rich neighborhood with cops demanding to see proof of citizenship or visa papers for every brown person on the street?
Next, I’d like to hear about how our backlogged immigration courts are going to hear and process 7 million deportation orders.
Where is the government going to house and feed these 7 million people while their cases are decided?
My prediction is that they will make as much progress with these deportations as they did on building the fucking wall
The GOP candidate for governor in NC (the self proclaimed Black Nazi who wanted to bring back slavery and take votes from women) won 40% of the vote. 40%!!! This election isn’t about sober policy choices. Something is rotten in this country
Terrible 2nd half from the offense. Just dumb penalties all over the field, including the roughing call to erase the game clinching pick 6.
After hearing the entire broadcast crew openly cheering for Vandy, I can’t wait to never hear about Pavia again
Because money. If you were attorney general of the US, you could immediately get a job as a partner with profit sharing at a major firm where you make between $2-8M a year, plus undisclosed fees for speaking engagements at Fed Soc events and the like as a private individual.
I’m not convinced anything will end his campaign other than death. His chief of staff came out with how he wants Hitler’s generals and that hasn’t made anyone bat an eyelash
[smelling like whiskey, corn dogs, and trash] “Hi young woman- I’m over 40 and wearing a cartoon dick on my shirt, will you take a picture? … why are you waiving over the police- no no you don’t get it… it’s for the internet! I HAVE RIZZ”
