I don't think it would have made a difference at all. Looking at the shift, it looks a lot like people were mad at the incumbents, the information environment is oriented to the right wing and Trump is a name people know even if he's a shell of what he was even in 2020. That's about all there is to it.

No I think he's just an a**hole who toes the party line from his side.

This idea is especially wild given that we just witnessed an election that was decided entirely on people's vibes and feelings. Trump's promises are unrealistic and often contradictory but he told people what they wanted to hear, facts and logic aren't in the picture. The only thing I got wrong was that half of Americans are nazis and fascists and garbage. It's actually closer to 51%

Oh so you're being a pro Russia, pro Putin stooge doesn't involve a personal stake? That's much worse.

It's quite remarkable how you are so politically engaged and yet so completely ignorant of what your party represents and what they plan to do. I suppose it's a team sport for you.

You literally advertise that fact here. Is your Russian mail order bride making you type this dumb shit?

I guess it's easier for you to avoid the issue than deal with the cognitive dissonance involved with supporting a party that wants to hand Ukraine to Russia.

Stupid people think there are simple solutions to complex problems and a guy who can't string a sentence together is going to be the one to solve them. You are one of those stupid people.

Go have another heart attack you fat f(ck.

Yes we know your preference is to end the existence of Ukraine as a sovereign democracy.

This is rich coming from a newspaper that did its absolute best to ensure Trump was presented as a normal candidate/politician and downplayed his erratic and deteriorating mental state.

No I'm doing this thing where I take the people who say they will dismantle the administrative state entirely at their word. Anyway i have no idea why you, a Trump supporter, would care about honesty anyway.

I laid it out for you. The GOP wants to end aid to Ukraine. Trump is pals with Putin and said he will end the war. How you can't put two and two together here is simply shocking, but if you were smart you wouldn't be a Trump supporter.

I remember when you were arguing that Republicans don't think the other side are bad people like it was yesterday. Oh wait it was yesterday.

Yeah who needs clean drinking water or childhood vaccines anyway.

Your reading comprehension is as shitty as your critical thinking skills if you think that's what that thread was about. Again, if the GOP gets its wish and pulls aid from Ukraine, why would Russia settle for the eastern bits instead of the whole damn thing? The point of this invasion was to end Ukraine's existence as a sovereign state, no reason to think that's changed. But again, you're a Putin dickrider so that's a great outcome for you.

lmao, pulling Ukraine funding has been the Republican Party's stated policy preference for ages. Trump himself has refused to commit to maintaining support. Just what the hell do you think is gonna happen here?

That didn't happen. You're probably thinking of the rioting when he lost in 2020.

No one ever said trump wouldn't be good for the rich.

JD Vance and other prominent Republicans have been vocal about cutting aid to Ukraine. Trump said he would end the war but didn't say how (a Ukrainian defeat would end the war after all). Read between the lines. Of course you know this is true, but you want Russia to win because you love authoritarian regimes.

What do you think will happen if Trump pulls support from Ukraine as promised? How long do you think they will hold out? Why would Russia come to the table for a negotiated settlement when they could get everything they want on the battlefield?

Your talent for not being able to exceed even the lowest expectations is the only impressive thing about you.

This simply isn't true. Every poll and media outlet predicted a tight contest and that's what it was.

What does that have to do with the glaring contradictions of his promises? Don't worry: I don't expect an intelligent response from you.
