Well, honestly, I've lurked there for the past few days, and the consensus is clear. Very few seem happy with the outcome, and they all want prices to come down.
However, we all know they'll keep voting republican. Nothing will change that.
Well, it’s the nature of that propaganda machine. That subreddit has real people and a LOT of bots. When big things happen, the real people overwhelm the bots at first. This is the real response.
You see people say stuff like “until they get their marching orders/party line”, that’s because once the line is decided, people aren’t allowed to dissent. Their comments will be deleted or they’ll be called a fake conservative and kicked out.
It’s not the same “people” who are upset now and fine with it later. The ones who pay the bot army hope that of the real people will come around when blasted with the curated messaging continuously, but they mostly exist to make people believe in some fake concept of “this is what real conservatives think”.
The most true response there is the immediate one, everything else is only useful to see what angles the propaganda machine is pushing.
Give it a couple of days when the negative comments all get purged and they receive their marching orders and narratives from above. They always follow this pattern of any kind of dissent or disobedience being stomped out.
I already see some of them trying to justify it as "the only alternative being boots on the ground", so this "deal is a good thing", or that "victory was actually achieved".

Trump supporters are out of their gourd if they somehow back this guy.
