American is an idea, a thought, a promise, not a skin color or origin story.
I have empathy for the MAGAs. They dont really know any better because many of them have never encountered a con man. They assumed he had their values just like he said... before they knew he had none. I give them a hard time here but honestly I feel for them/you.
You seem like someone who doesnt know about
half the food stamps go to children and about 11 million children are born into poverty and nearly 40% live in low income homes. There are 2 choices. Help or do nothing. Fraud and waste is about 1%.
Trump's approval has fallen from 50% down to sub-30%. If you typed the name of everyone whose support he lost it would take about 70m seconds or 3 years of typing for you with no breaks.
Trump ran on:
- Cutting the cost of energy in half within a year (its up +12%)
- Lowering gas prices (up 30%+)
- Lowering grocery bills (continue to rise over +3%)
- Lowering housing costs (homes up another $6,000 this year)
- A booming economy (GDP is anemic around 1%)
- Avoiding wars and no new entanglements (We've been threating people since he came into office and we are in a war)
- Ending the Ukraine war in 24 hours (We are approaching 24 months)
- Cutting the deficit (He submitted a record deficit budget)
- Cutting taxes for the wealthy and corporations (he did that)
- Cutting waste (Ballroom, Arch, $100m on golf, Money to Venezuela, his kids selling to the government)

nflation was 2.9% when passed to Trump. You picked a covid high point because you lack honesty.
Trump's unemployment was 15% once. Lets just say its always 15% unemployment with him. I dont know you but all indications are that
you lack the honesty to look at issues with discernment.
I'll give maga credit here. I assumed there was nothing in the files and that the cops would have charged any crimes with prosecutable evidence. I was half right. Seemingly there is not charge worthy evidence in there but there are tons of people who ought to be embarrassed and shunned. Maga is the one who was pushing for the embarrassment and shunning... until it turned out that Orange Jesus was the one who should be shunned and embarrassed.
I dont do conspiracy theories.
I dont know Rich but he recognizes he was conned. That is really step one. i dont expect conservatives to become liberals, just to open their eyes at how they are being conned, used, and abused. Its easy. Just open your eyes and know there is support.
