What? So there still gonna vote R regardless so what's the loving point appealing to them?


🤔

There isn't a point in appealing to them. You can't use logic and policy to woo somebody that uses neither. They are pretty dumb though so maybe just run the next Liberal as a Republican?

They do exist. In my anecdotal experience I've come across several "conservatives" who know he's a big idiot pissbaby and hate him but still act like it's justified because team R "won".

Yup, this is my anecdotal experience as well. Half a decade of the GOP yelling 'TAXES' in between dog whistles has worked, no matter how much they hate Trump people like this will never turn to the dems because they will steal all their money and give it to (???)

Like, one of the few people I know who voted for Trump is a man with a hispanic husband, most of his party would gun him down in the street if they could, but TAXES so it's GOP all the way down.

2 months in, everything seems possible

In his speech to an energized CPAC crowd, Trump repeated his often-made promise to put Americans first, and to keep fighting for them. His “historic” November victory, Trump said, represented a win for freedom and the rule of law.

Trump’s administration is just entering its second month, or as Bannon expressed it, “the top of the first inning,” and there will be resistance every inch of the way. Months of tough fights lay ahead, but during the three-day CPAC conference, everything Trump says seems possible.

Like who are these mythical "moderate republican" rear end holes that somehow never vote for Dems who suck them off at the expense of actual good leftist policies? Where do these people even exist? Did they ever exist?

My grandparents. Pro-LGBT and Pro-Choice but Anti-Gun Control and Anti-Tax. They've voted Republican since Nixon (1960), with the exceptions having voted for Bill Clinton (both times), Obama (both times for my Nana, the second time for my Grandfather), and Hillary Clinton/Gary Johnson in the most recent election.
