@kittee I get it , and you don't have to like him . I'm not lying either .
@kittee If Hamas would surrender and stop hiding among civilians, Israel would be able to end the war. Unless, of course, you support Hamas in its own genocidal mission.

The biggest con man ever!

Isn't y'all successful in profits, asset prices and killing socialism? Did the uniparty offer anything different, ever?
They're not.

According to polls, Trump's popularity has gone way down since his election. His support among his base hasn't changed; these people's identity is completely wrapped up in him and as far as they're concerned, he can do no wrong, but they're at most 30-32% of the electorate. Trump wouldn't have been elected with just those voters. He also enjoyed the support of other conservative Republicans who voted for him based on party affiliation and general agreement with his stated policies - reducing immigration, lowering prices, staying out of foreign wars, etc. It's these people who have become disillusioned over his blatant corruption and self-dealing, his gross incompetence, the Epstein files, starting the Iran war for no apparent reason (and losing it), and failing to address inflation.

Trump isn't on the ballot this November, but some Republicans have asked him to not campaign with them as this may do them more harm than good. The complete failure of Republicans in Congress to rein him in is leading some conservative voters to either support centrist Democrats when possible, or not vote at all due to lack of enthusiasm. I live in Georgia, which not long ago was a solid Republican state, but today Democrat Jon Ossoff is leading his Republican Senate challenger by double digits, and Democrat Keisha Lance Bottoms stands a good chance of being elected governor.

This pattern is being duplicated elsewhere, where Democrats are leading in swing states. Texas may elect its first Democratic Senator since Lloyd Bentsen in 1988, a year before James Talarico, the current Democratic candidate, was even born. Granted, part of this has to do with Talarico being a very gifted speaker, while his opponent, Ken Paxton, is a terrible candidate with a background of corruption and criminality, who may have been hurt more than he was helped by Trump's endorsement.

Tribalism, belonging, being part of a group for better or for worse and because they don't like the 'others'. That's my shot at that question.
@supersnipe i see,in europe we have football/soccer teams for our tribalism, more fun day out, somebody wins,

@kittee I'm in England, and I'm in my late 60s. I've watced the whole thing degrade from somwthing resembling civility to something more primitive...
@supersnipe its always been like that,look at 70's and80's bloody awful it was, so much better now,

nothing? He got rid of the healthcare fee for me and there's just the fact him occupying the seat keeps the left out of power. I give no 💩s about his promises, what a politician promises has never been worth much.
@Jackaloftheazuresand So basically, you support Trump because he's not a Democrat.
Jackaloftheazuresand · 31-35, M
@LeopoldBloom he's also not a leftist which is more important to me than not being democrat.

There are other things but the post didn't require much to contradict so I didn't include more than I had to.

The point of Trump is that he hurts those they hate and puffs up the ego of his base who gain a false sense of power vicariously through him.

A lot of MAGA don't vote "for" something. They vote against their political and cultural enemies and rationalize it however they like.

@kittee The UK follows all of America's rules like a pawn, and look at where that has gotten you lot.
@GeistInTheMachine do we have guns ,no, do we drive on the right side of road no, do we spell colour,color, no, i fail to see what we do, also do we eat crap fast food,no are we all very fat, no, do we drive every where, no, face it america is dying
@kittee Actually, they have had regime change in Iran, just not what anyone had in mind. Before, the mullahs were in power, while now it's the IRGC. Supposedly, Khamanei's son Mojtaba is Supreme Leader, but it's not known if he's still in a coma since the war started.

Aimen Dean, who probably has inside knowledge, has said that Mojtaba lost his arms and legs and was fit with prostheses, lost the skin on his head and must wear a protective helmet, and can only breath through a portable respirator. Wait, never mind, that's Darth Vader.

If you've never heard of Aimen Dean, he's a former al Qaeda official who handled the group's finances and religious training for recruits, later becoming disillusioned with the group and worked as a double agent for MI6. He now co-hosts the Conflicted podcast with Thomas Small, which covers Middle Eastern affairs.
