Why are Trump supporters especially receptive to conspiracy theories ?

I dont know. Why do the democrats want to take our guns and tax us to death?

@NeuroticByNature Deflection noted 🤭 Also, people like you need to have their guns taken away. Orange Baby supporters cannot be trusted with them.

@SW-User sure but first lets stop taxing people so government officials can give themselves pay raises. Do you really think the dumocrats have your best interest in mind? Youre the most delusional of all of them if you do.
SW-User
@NeuroticByNature Yes, I do. Unlike the Orange Baby who was in it purely for himself and to a lesser extent his family.
@NeuroticByNature But Obama already took all your guns🤣

@SW-User youre absolutely right. We would rather vote for someone focused of himself that someone focused on taking our money of crippling us financially. Maybe the Democrat half likes to be dependent on daddy government but the Republicans do not.

@NeuroticByNature How interesting. You were happy to elect someone who essentially let you get on with it (with a virus raging out of control) while enriching himself at the expense of the American people. Oh well, lucky I'm not American :)

@SW-User tell that guy that blocked that I cant read his comment. I see from the notification that it was about obama. I voted for obama twice. I was disappointed.

@SW-User what new plan does the new guy have? I haven't heard anything new coming out of washington. He supposedly had this amazing plan. Where is it?
SW-User
@NeuroticByNature I'm not surprised you were disappointed by Obama. He couldn't get anything done because of a deliberately obstructionist and racially motivated Senate. And the comment was, and I quote,
but Obama already took all your guns🤣
SW-User
@NeuroticByNature A plan for what, exactly?
NeuroticByNature · 41-45, F
@SW-User well he didnt but ok. I really did have high hopes for obama.

@SW-User a plan to get rid of covid. I dont see him doing anything Trump wasnt doing.
SW-User
@NeuroticByNature Hmm except for the executive orders requiring mask-wearing on federal property, public transport and interstate travel; ramping up the pace of manufacturing and testing; forming better data collection systems; establishing a health equity task force; and establishing a federal rather than state response.
And of course the huge relief package that has just been put through Congress.

Let's not forget that the Orange Baby gave up on the pandemic, and the presidency, after he lost.

@SW-User this was fun. We should do this again sometime.
SW-User
@NeuroticByNature I'd be delighted :) I'm sure we could talk about all kinds of things as well as politics :) Just a pity we can't really meet up with anyone atm. :(

@SW-User maybe if we all behave and wash our hands we can get rid of this covid so we can go outside and play..

@NeuroticByNature It's interesting that you think the Republicans don't want to steal your money. They do. They just don't want government to have it. They want their corporate interests to have it.

And trust me, corporations are FAR more effective at finding ways to get money out of you than the government.

Donnie pardoned quite a few people who deserved to be pardoned. But he also pardoned white collar criminals who have a history of taking money from the little guy.

His daughter and son-in-law have been sued dozens of times for using the law to steal money from working class folks using slumlord techniques.

The Republicans are (generally) against raising the minimum wage and labor unions, just two examples where they weaken the ability of the working class to make a decent wage.

All the puff and bluster about tax cuts is a red-herring technique. The Republicans love tax shelters for the rich, which quite literally directs more money to them and therefore less money to you.

If you are against unfair taxation, you'll find a lot of friends on that topic that are both Republican and Democrat. But if you think a selfish faux-Republican is better for you, you are kidding yourself.

What you posted here makes all the rich Republicans and the lobbyists that pay their actual salaries happy that you buy into their messaging.
