i personally know two idiots whose stated policy is to always vote for the candidate who they believe will lower their taxes, full stop. both voted trump and are now deeply worried that his idiocy will be bad for the stock market :kiddo:

I hope it tanks the stock market and they are forced to send their kids to public school

It's not like the stock market tanking has any impact on the people actually creating the wealth of the country, beyond retirement accounts disappearing I guess but who SERIOUSLY believes they're going to retire anymore who doesn't already have the money in cash? 2008 was a lesson in what a scam 401ks are

I've found a lot of people anxious to move on from Obamaism than I ever saw Republicans anxious to move on from Dubbyaism in 2008, so far

I think he's generally well regarded but it's plain as day to everybody that his approach is not the way forward and, in fact, was not the correct approach even then

Any wholesale death of the GOP electorate for the sake of profits will more than be made up for by vote suppression and dumpstering boxes of ballots in "at risk" districts because they're all fraudulent

With the VRA gutted we're pretty much right back to the mid-50s in that regard. Nobody will be voting in 2018 that the GOP doesn't want to vote

i thought trump made bigly promises about the VRA lol

VA maybe

Nobody in the last 40 years has gained any amount of power in the GOP who hasn't first agreed to help undermine the VRA, especially section 5

It was the big target whose destruction would ensure they wouldn't have to moderate or appeal to non-loonies, and they succeeded and were right

look im not saying you are off-base about the shenanigans the GOP pulls, but this kind of cynical defeatist attitude is doing their voter suppression work for them

with politics so polarized, elections generally come down to base turnout. the party that doesn't have the presidency tends to be pissed that they're out of power, therefore more motivated. this is why midterms are dangerous for the party that has the presidency.

when democrats have the presidency long enough they get too complacent and start infighting and defecting to novelty green party candidates. republicans have better party discipline but they get demoralized when their leader is weak and embarrassing. obama is a great politician, but he is also a black dude named hussein. you can't really explain the scope of his victory in 2008 without the utter disaster of the bush administration, that even republicans were acknowledging by the end.

my point is, the republicans have the power, and their leader is historically unpopular for an incoming president; deeply embarrassing and childish on a daily basis; goes against GOP orthodoxy on several key issues; and appears to be letting the GOP push through their most unpopular legislative priorities, like repealing the ACA and Dodd-Frank. even with all the bullshit the GOP does to tilt the scales, the democrats have a big opportunity in 2018, and we should not dismiss this.

lol I'm fighting this all the time I'm not being a cynical defeatist like someone who seems to think it'll all just work out on its own with time, it's just all part of a cycle man

Ask these fuckers who are now suuuuuper sad about Trump delivering on his promises about Voter ID or BLM

The nice thing is that even if it's not even really a possible thing, Brown could just TELL Trump that he's going to claim all the tax revenue in the state for himself and Trump would just react as though that's a thing that could happen automatically

Jenner is a whole lot of different things. She is an empty shell unthinking FYGM Republican who will vote for the world to die if it earns her a dollar and whose wealth and relatively politically obscure status will insulate her from any consequences of any negative actions she ever does, be it supporting a POTUS who oversees a renewed attack on LGBT (with an emphasis on T) people resulting a hundreds of deaths directly at minumum, or any consequence at all because of literally killing a man because she was driving like a goddamned shithead moron

Also she is trans, but this is largely secondary.

The only way trump gets ousted is if he quits, the only way that happens is if Dems win the House in 2018 and make his life loving hell

The GOP loves the guy and doesn't care that he does a new impeachable thing every day. They are beneath contempt, none will help us or do anything useful ever, and the only falsehoods they're putting out is that they are anxious about Trump

This is how Republicans are reacting to Trump:


They're perfectly happy with him and have no reason whatsoever to get rid of him.

Exactly. We have no allies on the right right now, nor will we for the near future if ever again. Every one of them are jackals that need a kicking, and their supporters and everybody with a positive view of them or Trump deserve the same.

Don't be fooled with this fake or passing concerns about whatever Trump does. There's a reason he and the rest of the GOP are ignoring them, it's because they'll vote for them no matter what. These are the same people who called bipartsan bank-loving centrist Dem Obama a super liberal Muslim Kenyan destroyer of America and bringer of darkness and antichrist

Why are people saying the GOP likes Trump? They like a Republican appointing SCOTUS justices and nothing more. Trump is just as much of a disgrace to the Republican Party as he is to the country.

5 out of 6 living GOP presidential nominees didn't endorse him and told people not to vote for him. This is something that actually happened before the election.

He's got an 80%+ approval rating among Republicans

Just lmao

You think these people are guided by ethical concerns or have any standards that they apply to both Dems and Reps?

Trumps lovely polling is a result of 95% of non republicans hating him. The modern GOP has never been a part of anything good and they sure as hell aren't starting now

90% of what is attributed to generation is actually an issue of racial divisions

White Millennials voted for Trump by a comfortable margin. Pretty much the only subset of white people in modern history to ever not vote majority Republican were 18-29 in 2008

Every other division you care to find - educated, dumb as poo poo, government job, old, young, all of them - have always voted majority Republican

The reason young people seem more liberal is because we're more diverse than the boomers were and our white bloc can't literally string up black people from trees and take Christmas card pictures in front of it to intimidate them into being inactive anymore (though voterID laws are making ground)

yeah a lot of white young people voted for Trump on the assumption that "let's just continue Obama's approach" was somehow anti-weed despite seeing multiple states legalize it entirely. Surely they won't take *MY* weed away right? lmao. I guess if you never recognize that the whole point of it is to get free labor out of minorities and strip them of their ability to represent their interests by voting you probably could, if you squint just right, imagine that a Republican would ignore states legalizing or decriminalizing it lmao
