The Republican leadership just instructed the DOJ to put LGBTQ+ activist groups on a fuckin’ watch-list like they’re goddamn terrorists (and they’re gonna fuckin’ do it). The Trump Administration is doing everything possible to break the US Constitution when it comes to the freedom of expression, the freedom of and from religion, the Presidential Term Limit, and birthright citizenship which regardless how you personally feel about it is baked into the US Constitution.
So why don’t you tell me what they’re doing that you find so goddamn appealing. Because I just don’t get it. Maybe I’m too fucking stupid, but I just don’t see it.
I agree with you what is being done to freedom of expression is outrageous. I’m not aware of changes with freedom of religion, nor presidential term limits. There’s a case for arguing birthright citizenship doesn’t apply to people born here with illegal parents, it will be debated in court.
To answer your question, Trump during his first term passed legislation to enhance protection of animals. Recently he brokered a ceasefire deal in Gaza. A reasonable person can oppose most of his actions and also acknowledge when he does good ones.
Yes, the rich fucking love no-income-tax schemes. Because that’s always followed by more-sales-tax-to-replace-lost-revenue schemes, which is demonstrably proven to move the tax burden from the obscenely wealthy to the other end of the economic spectrum.
Our $800 billion war machine isn’t going to stop just because 80% of Americans don’t pay taxes anymore.
Look at the distribution of income tax paid within that 1%. It catches the professionals getting salaries and commissions that exceed $400k/yr (that’s the approximate breakpoint for 99th percentile), but towards the high end of that 1%, most income is of non-salary origin (options and capital gains).
Anyone looking seriously/hopefully/longingly at those pitiful distractions is simply missing the bigger MAGAt picture/goal of entirely subverting US democracy.
You asked for good policies, I gave you good policies. You want to pretend everything MAGA does is bad? Go for it, I’m not stopping you if you don’t care about being accurate.
Yes, it’s not all black and white, but the MAGA agenda is a big bucket of black paint with a couple tiny drops of white mixed in. You can split hairs about how that technically makes it a very dark shade of charcoal grey, but for all practical purposes it’s fucking black.
Republicans have joined Democrats to vote many bipartisan bills under president Biden.
That is absolutely not why Trump is president now. Trump is president now because the Biden Harris administration has been unapologetically providing military, financial and diplomatic support to Israel while it committed a genocide, and also because it refused to conduct an open primary.
Nobody but people deeply interested in politics gave a shit about how the primary was conducted, and anyone who thought that bringing Trump in would make the genocide go away was incapable of seeing what was right in front of their faces.
Trump got in because the media and social media have been corrupted into non-stop propaganda outlets, and most voters are pig-ignorant and believe whatever lies get repeated most loudly.
I don’t think that was the sole reason, or even a major part. It was inflation lies by the GOP, sexism and racism that got trump in. Foreign policy isn’t as significant as domestic issues in an election. The only voting population that was concerned was Muslims
Trump has brokered a ceasefire deal in a matter of a couple weeks, whereas Biden refused to do so in over a year.
Yes, let’s wait and see. The crazy talks about forcing the people of Gaza to relocate are just that, crazy talks. Let’s focus on actions rather than words.
Well no, when MAGA wants something that’s actually good, there’s no reason to oppose it.

Yo, I need sources on that first sentence. Asking for a friend.

And just when do you truly think any MAGAt will propose something “good”…???
Don’t be daft.
🙄
No income tax on people earning less than $150k for example.
Trump has also passed animal protection laws during his first term.
Yes, the rich fucking love no-income-tax schemes. Because that’s always followed by more-sales-tax-to-replace-lost-revenue schemes, which is demonstrably proven to move the tax burden from the obscenely wealthy to the other end of the economic spectrum.

You realize the rich would still be paying income taxes, as they make more than $150k… and they would be paying those sales taxes too.
The rich don’t pay income taxes already.
The top 1% pay 40% of all federal income taxes.
Look at the distribution of income tax paid within that 1%. It catches the professionals getting salaries and commissions that exceed $400k/yr (that’s the approximate breakpoint for 99th percentile), but towards the high end of that 1%, most income is of non-salary origin (options and capital gains).
Pfft…
Anyone looking seriously/hopefully/longingly at those pitiful distractions is simply missing the bigger MAGAt picture/goal of entirely subverting US democracy.
That’s just bread and circuses.

Yes.
In my world, the preponderance of MAGAt goals are bad so they are ultimately and entirely bad.
You’re simply attempting: “Look, here’s a couple of good things in a big bucket of bad. So obviously they can’t be all bad”.
Definition of bread and circuses.
You might want to leave your world and join the real world back, where not everything is black and white.
Yes, it’s not all black and white, but the MAGA agenda is a big bucket of black paint with a couple tiny drops of white mixed in. You can split hairs about how that technically makes it a very dark shade of charcoal grey, but for all practical purposes it’s fucking black.
You’re trying too hard.
Bye.
Bye

It was definitely a major part. It’s not about “foreign policy” is about committing a genocide.
Man, if you think that was genocide. Just wait till you see what happens with forced relocation. Gaza will be stained with blood for years.

Yes, let’s wait and see. The crazy talks about forcing the people of Gaza to relocate are just that, crazy talks. Let’s focus on actions rather than words.
And how long did that ceasefire last, and who broke it?
“Crazy talk” repeated loudly and often by Trump and Netanyahu as well as members of Netanyahu’s cabinet.
Trump didn’t broker shit and Israel broke the ceasefire on day fucking one.
Don’t bother, they’re a propagandist.
Actually, DO bother. Can’t change their minds but the bullshit deserves to be challenged.
Steve Witkoff, Trump’s envoy, is the one who brokered the ceasefire deal. It’s not perfect but it’s magnitudes better than under Biden.
