But Trump cons the "Deplorables" to make them think he's on their side. When it's clear that Trump's only in it for Trump. Complete nonsense. An all of the above energy policy is being on the side of American people. So is slowing immigration, particularly work visas. So are better trade deals, etc, etc. Your assertions are complete projection. Quote
Shady Posted January 4, 2021 Report Posted January 4, 2021 Some much needed logic and reason from a constitutional law professor who didn’t vote for Trump. Quote

Ultimately removal of regulations, especially in regards to environmental ones, help the large corporations the populists are raging against right now in light of COVID-19. Quote

A devoted core of people who somehow see this two-bit conman as a saviour. It does speak to the end of the Republican party as a "Conservative" party. It's a populist part who's devoted to one man. Again...old news...the so called Tea Party fractured the GOP long before Trump. But the Trump haters have amnesia. Quote How else can you describe Ted Cruz playing along with the Fraud scheme five years after Trump accused him of the exact same thing? ? Wow...what a surprise...American politics was so pure and moral before Trump, right ? Quote Economics trumps Virtue.

They are totally consumed by their hatred of anything Trump, regardless of any merit or previous administration's policies. How dare Trump file lawsuits ! Quote Economics trumps Virtue.

It seems you're the one that assumes how the opposing side is framing an argument. I can totally criticize Trump based on the merit of previous governments or other policies. For example, why is it that what's left of the Tea Party is quiet in the face of rampant deficit spending by Trump? Edited January 4, 2021 by Boges Quote

You would think Trump Haters would be more curious as to why counties that voted for Obama twice, voted for Trump. But nah, it’s either because they’re racist or were conned. Quote

You have yet to consider Trump mainly as another American administration, preferring to focus on his personal and political antics, with so much butt-hurt for "allies". President Obama just used better lubricant. Quote For example, why is it that what's left of the Tea Party is quiet in the face of rampant deficit spending by Trump? Oh, so now you suddenly remember the Tea Party. They are not so quiet as much as they reached the end of their political life cycle started more than a decade ago, culminating with opposition to President Obama. Quote Economics trumps Virtue.

Well, the Trump haters clearly do not want to deal with American political reality, because that would mean there are 75,000,000 voters who do not agree with them or their ideology. Easier to just explain to themselves that such people are "poor/ignorant", and easily "conned". Quote Economics trumps Virtue.

You'd think they would come around at some point, because the mid-terms are going to be a "f-ing blood bath" to quote a moderate democrat barely winning in 2020. Quote

There are now counties that voted for Trump in 2020 that voted for Hillary in 2016. He got 10 million new voters, and his share of votes from minorities went up. Democrats may want to find out why, and calling them duped or racists isn't going to cut it. The mid-terms are going to be a blood bath for them if they remain this toxic. It's why they lost a bunch of house seats and won zero state legislatures in a year with a all-time record turnout. If Trump had shown just a bit more compassion and concern over covid, he wouldn't cake walked to a victory. Shouldn't Democrats wonder why? I don't really care if they do though, I'd rather them keep their head in the sand. It's going to be fun to have veto proof majorities in the house and senate in 2022. 1 Quote

That was an excellent post mortem that was done after 2016. You ignore that Biden was able to achieve the largest margin of victory since Reagan. Or are you just calling it all fraud? You think the GOP will resonate with the public, going forward, if they just assume that 2020 was stolen from them? Quote
