what is really ironic, is that if trump had actually been and supported the policies he campaigned on, i might actually support him, or at least i support some of those causes. he promised no cuts the medicare, medicade or social security, he promised cheaper healthcare that covered everyone, he said rich bankers were not taxed high enough, he said he was going to drain out the swamp of business lobbyists, set term limits for congress, he said he was for gay marriage and protecting LGBT folks, i mean basically besides the wall, and the racism and sexism, on policies ... candidate trump was actually a guy that might have had some reasonable policy positions.Originally Posted by ironyusa
but only an idiot would have believed a word he said on the campaign trail would actually mean anything, most of it was ludicrously impossible. ie you can't cover everyone cheaply without single payer etc etc. sadly, he hasn't lived up to any of those promises, and actually is on track to do the exact opposite of every single one of them. and is lock step in combining massive giveaways to the rich, corporations and the powerful, with racism, sexism, anti-LGBT, and somehow evangelical Christians. how an admitted sexual assaulter, with 3 wives, who openly has talked sexually about dating 17-20 year olds while being over 50, somehow, christians of all people thought this guy was a-ok ....
pretty much a perfect storm of bad policy and a total idiot at the same time. only a complete fucking moron could manage to loose us the cold war 30 years after we won it AND tweet his way to the brink of nuclear war at the same time.
i asked a question of most trump supporters after he was elected, is there anything that trump could do to loose your support? most said there was nothing. i said even if he colluded with russia? they said no. even if the pee tape is real? nope. most said that nothing could convince them to stop supporting trump.
then they asked me, you hate trump and most republicans, is there something he could do to gain your support ... i said all sorts of things, here is the list.
