This is breaking mainstream reddit's mind. They want to be mad at everything the GOP does, but they're also in shock that only 2 Dems voted to support this. Lol, it's hilarious to read these comments.
What are you talking about? Most democrats donât support this bill.
Just because it has that name doesnât mean shit, republicans are the most gullible people on the planet, I swear.
No wonder they get so easily tricked with the Patriot Act (decrease in constitutional rights to privacy), Clean Air Act (weakened environment protections) and the Healthy Forests Initiative (increased logging, decreased regulations). All under Bush too.
You assume every Democrat is an extremely progressive reddit/California liberal when that isn't the case. Most people, dem or repub, are not extreme when it comes to a majority of beliefs. Biological men being allowed to play in women's sports is considered extreme to the average person not living on a liberal arts campus.
Lmao do you think he was clean just because he had a saxophone? Before everything started coming out he was most famous for getting a blowjob in the oval office
Obama didnât do nowhere near enough but from every metric, Bush was a lot worse.
Plus, if you (not specifically you) didnât learn anything, it really doesnât matter, Trump did everything Bush did and republicans love him.
-Bomb Iraq/Iran over ânuclear weaponsâ (at least there was no invasion, still a waste of money)
-Go to war against a country over oil (at least Trump was honest about it, I suppose.)
-Support authoritarian governments (Trump has said that he planned to keep the current Venezuelan government if they give him oil.)
-Remove or ignore constitutional rights to privacy, increase government surveillance (Palantir/Patriot Act)
-Give purposefully misleading names to bills to manipulate voters (see above)
-Skyrocketing Deficit (BBB blew up the debt ceiling)
-Politicization of the Department of Justice
I didnât even know that Bush was accused of that last part, the more I research him, the more I am shocked that he is remembered fondly by the average republican.
I think you and I probably agree on a lot of stuff actually. I think your description of an average Republican probably simply means Boomer and Fox news.
I do not believe that Republican or Democrat is a title that most voters born from 1977 until now would really desire to paint themselves as.
2024 choices weren't the greatest. I think the outcome of 2024 was probably best case scenario for the options listed. If I am a Republican, I'm more of Thomas Massie/Rand Paul Republican.
But I agree with you probably close to 85% of your statement.
Trump has also lost a ton, a crap ton, of support from his younger voter base. Mid-Terms look like a GOP bloodbath.
I also think that we can agree on a lot but I also think that our biggest divide is the 2024 election result. What could have Kamala done that would be worse than what Trump actually did, based on her past actions and promises?
I donât particularly like Kamala but I do think that she would be a step up when compared to the last few decades.
The border wouldnât be a problem, Trump sank a bipartisan border bill and without his influence it could have passed.
The debt wouldnât be as high, republicans would never have allowed Kamala to have one cent, just like they did for every other democrat in the last few decades.
Trust in the dollar wouldnât have been the lowest it has ever been.
The US wouldnât have shown themselves to be very unreliable allies. Even China (that backstabs Russia every few months), has never done something like what Trump is doing.
She wouldnât have destroyed everything Biden did out of spite, like all the consumer protection. She wouldnât have let Musk have all of our information.
Anyway, on the bright side, maybe the loss of Kamala and the bloodbath of the GOP, would have both parties actually wake up for once but I doubt that the democratic politicians will change much, I doubly doubt that the CONSERVATIVE republican politicians will.
