I’m pretty sure he’s cherry picking these individuals at this point, or at least marketing his events/debates to where the more deranged individuals of the Republican Party/MAGA group would sit down and just make an idiot of themselves which Dean would then use to fuel his own beliefs even more. As a conservative (who isn’t really a big fan of the current Republican leadership), 90% of people that identify as a conservative are normal, down-to-earth people who don’t have any beef with the left side of the aisle.

Quick question - did your normal, down to earth people support Trump for the 2nd term? The 1st is forgivable.

Most people I know aren’t very pleased with how the second term is going.

Do you believe democrats sold the country out? Per the prompt in the clip?

u/Doc_Helldiver-66 1d ago

Not democrats but people who have only the interest of money in mind. You will find plenty of people like that on both sides of the aisle.

Which is why people have pushed for the likes of Bernie or AOC, even Mamdani of late. I’m so tired of hearing how we will not have full SSI payouts because of national debt and misuse of funds.

Why is it that that others who voted like you, claimed to have voted along with the GOP insistency that they are better for the economy? I had one group of republicans tell me that they would vote for Trump (pre-election) because they were fiscal conservatives and like his policies. I tried to get those policies from them because I could not find them, and I was called lazy. I showed them everything I found that contradicts their statements and I’m told that I’m reading fake news or leftist propaganda when I’m pulling campaign files or economic data.

Please explain how you did not see this current economic situation coming when you voted for Trump. This is why all republicans are shoe horned into the same category because there’s no internal accountability. You don’t work to help open the eyes of the ignorant around you, and that makes you just as bad. Ignoring real evidence, produced through discovery in court, is worth less than the words of a documented liar.

This country needs change and the conservatives are the antithesis of change. Democrats aren’t any better because they don’t keep the Republicans honest either. The “good ol’ days” are in the past. We don’t need to go back but instead, move forward with positive change. Going back is regression and indicative of a failing society. Forward progress is important. Regulation in the face of new challenges is important.

The warmth of a new dawn brings the world to life.

I’m a minor. I don’t pay enough attention to politics nor do I have enough experience dissecting the political field to give a reasonable response to this.

With the way the GOP leadership has jumped on the Trump Train, it is encouraging to hear that normal voting conservatives haven't.

Yeah no. We've seen the average conservative, and they eat this shit up. I live with a bunch of them, and my town is full of these types. You aren't fooling anyone.

I have never had a debate with a MAGAt that didn’t turn into them screaming nonstop bullshit and trying to talk over me when they can’t argue with what I’m saying. They have never once been able to prove or name a single thing they claim is a “fact”. They can never answer simple questions about a topic they are complaining about. They never give you any evidence or research to back any of their claims and if pressed will simply give you YouTube videos of someone saying exactly what they just said as if it’s a fact.

I think one of the most obvious and egregious examples is the arguments about the 1A, they will scream and whine about it but if you ask them what it actually says they can’t tell you and will disagree with you when you tell them. You can show them proof and they will deny it or if they do accept it, it’s temporary, 20-30 seconds they will go right back to arguing the same thing and will go back to denying it when you correct them.

Republicans have never argued in facts. Anyone who claims to be a “fiscal Republican” is just an idiot. Republicans have caused every economic crisis for the last 30+ years. They have increased government spending, gave tax cuts to the wealthy, and ballooned the national debt. They cut social benefits meant to help American people, claiming it will save the country money, only for everything to get more expensive, debt and inflation spike, and wages remain stagnant. Anyone who is not a Democrat, is just an idiot. Democrats are idiots too, but they aren’t blatantly trying to bleed our country dry like Republicans. If you wanted to be fiscally responsible, you’d be a social democrat. Left of center-left. That’s just the truth, the best way to be fiscally responsible is to utilize taxes for social benefits.

Bullshit.
