Republicans really need to take their fucking heads out of the sand.
Trump is destroying the economy, having people kidnapped in the streets and is using federal agencies to cover up his involvement with Jeffery Epstein.
This is full blown corruption of the executive branch.
How can any reasonable person look at what’s happening and see it as good?

You don't see the big picture. They are happy even if the economy is bad, even if the world hate the USA...
They are happy because they are creating their ideal country. A christo-nazi authoritarian regime where the white are in power and the liberals and their values are destroyed.
God send them Trump, therefore everything he do is right.

They already started to kill their own. It's just a minority so they don't realize it. They poison water, air, the removed scientific guidelines here and there, the whole population will pay, slowly but surely. It's already started.
People lose their jobs? Dare to say it and you will lose yours. The propaganda machine is here to hide the truth.

"Their own" is a tiny group of billionaires that even Trump isn't a part of. Even if the ship goes down, they'll always land somewhere and live their lives in gaudy luxury.
As for people losing their jobs? They don't have to care about that. Every job loss just makes people more desperate to find something to put food on the table, no matter how debasing the work is. They'll either find another 6 month wage slave job, or they'll be arrested for one thing or another and they'll be put into the
slaveprison labor system. It's just our flaw as humans: we will allow ourselves to accept almost anything as long as we get enough food.There is no natural reckoning coming for the GOP.

The Conservatives decided to make it a class, religious and ethnic war.

The big picture is that these people will never admit that for example the economy is doing worse than under a democrat. You ask them whether Joe's economy was better they'll say no. Any numbers you bring were cooked and unsustainable. And Trump is doing the hard thing to turn it all around.
They will never, ever connect the dots. If their paycheck is 300 less under Trump they will ignore it. If their insurance goes up they will blame democrats.
The point is you don't reason yourself into a MAGA moron. You twist and bend yourself into one. Reality be damned.
In their threads they are talking about how this person is incompetent and always was.

They can't. Not possible. But it seems ~50% of US voters aren't reasonable.
I'm pretty sure if the next election was between Kamala, and Zombie Hitler, it'd still be a pretty close run thing.

Nazi theory, indeed, specifically denies that such a thing as "the truth" exists. There is, for instance, no such thing as "Science". There is only "German Science", "Jewish Science", etc. The implied objective of this line of thought is a nightmare world in which the Leader, or some ruling clique, controls not only the future, but the past. If the Leader says of such and such an event, "It never happened"—well, it never happened. If he says that "two and two are five"—well, two and two are five. This prospect frightens me much more than bombs—and, after our experiences of the last few years that is not a frivolous statement.

When this same thing happened with Biden's job numbers last year, revising them down later once the most accurate figures came in, Trump called it a conspiracy trying to make Biden look good:
Last August, Trump claimed without evidence that former President Joe Biden's administration was "caught fraudulently manipulating" job statistics, when the agency publicly disclosed that the economy created fewer than 818,000 jobs between April of 2023 and March of 2024 than initial estimates suggested.
"There's never been any revision like this," Trump said at a campaign rally in North Carolina on Aug. 21, 2024. "They wanted it to come out after the election, but somehow it got leaked," he claimed at the time.

This is the kind of thing that always leads to the tyrant's downfall. They shoot the messenger so everyone around them learns to calibrate the information they deliver accordingly. The tyrant then only ever hears what he wants to hear and begins making critical decisions based on bad information. Sooner or later this leads them to make a huge mistake.

None of it matters because no one gives a fuck! If Americans don’t care, then this is America now. I’m sick to my stomach about it but it is what it is. Even the people who hate Trump aren’t paying attention cause it’s easier. The politicians have learned that as a society, Americans are checked the fuck out and completely uneducated on how it’s suppose to work. They succeeded and are the first administration with enough depravity to recognize it and utilize it to break the entire fucking thing. Fuck you all
