Poll for Trump Supporters: Will you push back if he goes full fascist?

[otto105]

Nice fantasy, here is the reality:

Trump greatly expanded ICE spending and increased millitary spending - thats not reducing.

This regime is adding debt just like the first time.

 

[AntonToo]

This regime is adding debt just like the first time.

And he wants to buy Greenland for 700 billion and increase millitary spending by another $500 billion.

Conservatives that are talking about him supposedly cutting taxes and reducing spending are daydreaming fools.

 

[HikerGuy83]

he wants

So what?

 

[JGalt]

Hmmm.....over 50%, barely, said they would pull support if he goes full fascist. Including me.

Now, what is the definition of full fascist?

You know: Taking over the streets, waving signs and banners, chanting in unison, beating up people, breaking stuff, starting fires...

Oh wait.....isn't that what Democrats are doing now?

No, I quit drugs 18 years ago.

sooo.....Conservatives that are talking about him supposedly cutting taxes and reducing spending are daydreaming fools.

The guy has zero interest in dealing with debt or making government smaller, his agenda is not formed by any ideology, but self-serving crony imperialism. He gets high on power use and abuse.

trump has already given every indication that if not for the guardrails still protecting our republic, the ones he hasn't destroyed yet, we would be living in a fascist state.

Tarriffs are being called out as the reason the deficit is slowing (smaller month to month than last year....for 3 months so far....which I realize isn't a great deal of data).

So, whether or not he reduces spending (and BTW our clown car congress....the ones we want to put in charge of health care......are doing what?) or not, the deficit is slowing this year so far. That is a fact. The gap is currently at 100 billion.

Tariffs increase revenues by increasing cost of imports (read more inflation).

But Trump has also cut taxes in BBB which decrease revenues and do so at even higher rate than tariff income after 2025 - so overall effect is higher inflation which disproportionately hurts low and middle income people to give more tax cuts to well off and corps.

You forgot murders, assassinations, storming churches during services, harassing regular folks on the streets of Minneapolis to make sure they're not ICE and insisting one chants with them or else, etc., like this right here, this is true fascism:

Tariffs don't cause inflation.

Okay, you convinced me. I will NOT vote for TRUMP! in 2028.

 

[AntonToo]

Okay, you convinced me.

Great.

 

[hadit]

Great.

Right, I will NOT be voting for Donald TRUMP! in 2028. Did you forget that part?

Tell that nonsense to the Fed that explicitly cites tariffs as inflationary risk in their projections.

That is correct. The highest tariffs in almost a century haven't caused the massive surge in inflation many on the left were predicting. Economists at the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco combed through data from 1886 to 2017 and found that previous tariff increases usually didn't lead to higher inflation. On the contrary, they slowed down price growth.

So inflation is up, but because it's not yet massively up, then therefore tariffs don't cause inflation.

Did I capture the entire elegance of your argument?
