10 million illegals in 4 years was Bidens # by Biden's count. In reality it was probably half again more. We would have another 5-10 million right now under Kamala. That is what sealed the election. Turns out completely unchecked mass illegal immigration is wildly unpopular with the electorate. Giving temporary immigration status to tens of thousands of people from Somalia and Haiti is wildly unpopular as well.
Right? Kamala Harris was warning about Project 2025 which basically spelled out the Tarrifs, Doge and ICE. Everything thing Trump is doing was the crazy stuff he wanted to do the first time around. The fact that anyone voted for him after the Jan 6th incident still boggles my mind. Anyone that expected a different Trump is a moron. 1/3 of the population voted Trump and 1/3 didn't even bother voting. It just seems like Americans don't give a lick about democracy anymore.
Don't get hung up on non voters. Every dem non voter in every state that went blue caused no problem. It's only the dem non voters in states that went red that caused a problem and those are fewer.
Someone should run both of those numbers.
So true. The swing voters that a presidential candidate might reach are⦠very strange voters.
Itās basically just turnout.
The people who genuinely canāt decide between a candidate like Harris and Trump are some of the lowest information voters out there, so itās tricky to figure out what will sway them.
How?Ā Ā You got everything thing wanted.Ā Ā You wanted no food regulations, now you got that, and so you get the honor of playing Russian roulette with every bite of bacon.Ā Ā
The only way "socialism" is even a remotely correct word to use if he meant socialism for the rich! Otherwise, Mr. 906backroads is simply doing the tiresome right wing thing of misusing one of a number of buzzwords to mean "anything I don't like." I'd say it's very likely that he's unhappy that he somehow hasn't gotten any wealthier despite fucking up the same way three times in a row since the 2016 election! Once again, I'm among many real patriots that have gotten fed up with this behavior/mentality along with being done trying to explain facts to people like him that refuse to accept them! They proved their annoying behavior to me back in the 2016 election and Mr. 906backroads, as well as his friends, still try to avoid owning up to their fuck up of ever being Trump supporters?!
Do you have Medicare? Medicaid? Social Security? Pension? Paying in? Tax cuts? A military? Use the post office? Public schools? Public transportation? Farm subsidies? Public roads? Municipal services? Labor laws? SNAP? Are you a US citizen? Or just brain dead...or worse, MAGA?
āWhy are you so upset about me voting for what you call an extremist just to stick it to people politically opposite of me? Is it because you think you own it?ā
I saw a farmer crying because he got a letter from the bank saying he lost his farm. And in the same video, he assured everyone he would vote republican in the midterms.
What's not a joke? We drove across Wisconsin yesterday and the vast majority of signs we saw for the Republican gubernatorial candidate were on the lawns of farms.
We are in the top 10 for beef producing states and forclosers increased 700% in 2025, yet these farmers still support Republicans.
We could have seen the same video. My version was a farmer holding his hat that had light green in it. And then it was stitched with another dude, saying that people abducted by ice didn't get the chance to say no or wait.
Met a guy like that at the Red Desiel line filling up for farm vehicles. He engaged me about fuel prices and said didn't blame Trump for that or war. And then said, he and his son were going to lose farm if it kept up for a few more weeks. That was 2 months ago. Alabama. I believe you suffer from TDS. Good luck with that š¤£š
Yeah, if you go to the original account youāll see heās just trolling. The video ends with him saying that what he did wrong was to put ketchup on steak, or something like that.
Yeah if a Trump voter imagines back to when they creamed their pants with joy over Trumpās racist birther lies in 2015, thatās how long every kind intelligent person has wanted to be rid of Trump.
This reminds me of a kid who you tell the stove is hot and demonstrate that it's hot by tossing water at it and watching it sizzle. Then you tell the kid "Don't touch it because you will get burned." You walk away thinking you warned them, only to hear them yelp five seconds later because they had to touch it. You then repeat this but standby and catch them before they burn their hands a second time and tell them "Look, you saw what happened the first time and I stopped you this time but don't do it again." Walk away and then hear another yelp after they have been burned a second time. Now the kid looks at you confused asking why they got burned.
Define conservatism however you like but to me it basically means willfully unobservant and immune to facts that contradicts their beliefs. These people will not learn anything and will vote for the next maga like person that pops up because they are fully invested. Hell, I doubt that knowing everything they now know, they would bother even changing the previous vote because they are just that broken.
Losing ground against socialism??
The guy just announced that the Pentagon will now be in the oil business. Taking tens of billions of taxpayer dollars to partner with the Venezuelan dictatorship to pump their oil.
These same people had shit-eating grins when they were āowning the libsā, now the check comes due and all of a sudden itās a problem. Fuck these people in the ass with pineapples.
You know that scene in The Green Mile where Percy deliberately doesnāt wet the sponge, causing the execution to become a horrific scene, resulting in the witnesses throwing up left right and centre, and Percy tries to look away but a senior guard grabs him and forces him to look at what he created?
Making you tired is the whole point of constant bullshit arguments. At some point you get tired of even just simple reasoning. Tired because you constantly need new reasons and arguments, for a constant stream of ne bullshit arguments.
When you are tired, you stop arguing, debating, raising your voice, connecting. You drop most of your social and political defense.
You get tired of even just thinking, so you ignore them, so they can do all bullshit they want, with no consequence.
I think the problem with America is right here in this guy's post. Americans seen to feel the need to put their political alliance in everything. Like they're damned sports teams. Why?
The "sports teams" complaint always feels backwards to me. We're tribal about everything here - Coke vs Pepsi, college football rivalries, truck brands, music choices, etc. If politics is the one place it's a problem that's not because Americans are uniquely bad at politics. It's because we're a tribal culture in general and politics happens to be the highest-stakes arena for it. "Propaganda" explains why people land on a side, not why the tribalism shows up in every other part of American life too.
Coke vs Pepsi, band via band, Nike vs Adidas all that is not the same as politics and sports. No one has rioted over Nikes. People have not been viciously assaulted over drinking coke and had the hundreds of people saying they deserved it. That's preference and contractual obligation to sell a drink. Politics and sports however are actual tribalism down to the colour and emblems being targeted.
I hope Trump keeps going. Time for these idiot three-time Trumpers to feel pain. Trump said he was going to do this. Why are the three-timers upset or shocked.
My fatigue is from all these conservatives sitting around whining. They know who & what they voted for. The rest of the us rejected rape, pedophilia & cons to make their own family rich while American suffers. And no doubt theyāll vote for him again!
First, f this guy. He heard the pitch, the policies, the warnings from just about everyone, did the research about his failed business ventures, his grift and graft of everyone from contractors to consumers who went to his Trump University. He also saw what he did during his first term. He voted for him 3 times. Maybe he should look at his priorities.
Second, heās worried about socialism. Heās apparently not worried about socialism for corporations, or the wealthy. Just worried about socialism for people that need it. A little socialism brought us the new deal. A little socialism kept us from having our own communist revolution in the 1930s during the Great Depression. That was what on the table and FDR responded to it.
So basically, f whatever the worldview this guy has that makes him vote against all provided evidence and experience.
And the important issues like lack of a livable minimum wage, affordable healthcare and education!???
Yes, those other issue are quite wrong and embarrassing but quality of American's lives has gone down for the 99%
Idjits. T is doing exactly what he did to businesses all his life. Hyping and conning, grabbing cash up front, then leaving and letting the suckers clean up the mess or close the doors.
It has been his rinse and repeat formula for years and these keen minds could not see it? Just in this case it is on a way more horrific level.
Grover Norquist's statement "Hillary Clinton is a survivable event" rings even truer now than it did in 2016.
Next time, accept the fact that there are people in the world who are smarter and more educated than you are, and that things will go a lot better if you listen to the advice they were sharing with you for free since the very beginning.
if you voted for him the first time, you get pass. If you voted for him the second time, okay, you can be forgiven. If you voted for him the third time, you can go f yourself
Breaking point should have been when he bragged about Trump Tower being the tallest building in Manhattan literally hours after 9/11. 25 years ago.
Funny how a decade or so later, Americaās best nā brightest called Obama a Muslim terrorist for being a person of color with an odd sounding name (despite him being an incredible and inspiring public speaker and a qualified, educated lawmaker), but donāt mind if their favorite rich, white, elderly yuppie fail-son is a total melty-brained sociopath who has had a long, well-documented history of saying the stupidest, most tactless word soup imaginable in any situation.
I stg the last few years itās been like Chris-Chan is President.
I was sort of conservative- independent. I never liked Hilary or Trump. I wanted people to have representation. I wanted the corporations to be taxed and regulated. I wanted the majority of us to live like we did in the 80's and 90's like when domestic abuse was actually really criminalized, and women could have their own bank accounts. ( finally)
Nowadays I must be a totally radical hippee.
Our Congress needs to represent us. I don't care what shape color or gender humans are, they are humans and need to be taken care of. We need Medicare for all. Decent wages, less subscriptions, clean water, better regulated infrastructure, more housing, and a cleaner environment.
We need sit-ins,walk outs, phone calls, and unions.
How could anyone have thought Trump was āconservative?ā The people who supposedly gathered with OP to bemoan Trumpās incompetence, vanity and graft all watched as he bumbled through his first term doing idiotic and destructive things.
They knew he was not āconservativeā in the least. He added massively to the deficit. He actively tried to destroy our alliances while cozying up to enemies like Putin and Kim.
Then they watched him try to steal the 2020 election after he lost by the same electoral college margin he called a ālandslideā four years earlier.
Was it āconservativeā to try to intimidate Pence, Raffensperger and others to change the vote? Was it āconservativeā to put up slates of fake electors to deprive citizens of their choice of candidates?
How was it āconservativeā to incite and encourage a mob to attack the Capitol in an attempt to stop the ceremonial counting of electoral votes?
These people are not conservatives at all. Voting for DJT in 2024 was a radical act of belligerent racism and anti-Americanism.
Theyāre just mad that others are now pushing back against the slide into chaos and corruption their own votes caused. The āsocialismā they see on the rise is the success of progressive candidates who want to stop people like OP from further destroying our democracy.
OP and his traitorous friends donāt want their (and our) tax dollars to go towards making citizensā lives better. They want to continue handing over control and benefits to billionaires and the corporations they own, to continue growing the gap in wealth, income and opportunity so that only the very wealthy have any voice at all.
And if you pointed any of this out in their heavily guarded forum, you would be banned. Censorship (along with hypocrisy, lying, racism and willful ignorance) is a core Republican value these days.
I donāt think I can ever understand how polarized the left and right are in America, like you are all in this terrible predicament now together, but all you do is still argue over who did it worse, or how so-and-so would have been worse. Itās like this one thing divides you so much you canāt see the million things that unite you and make you the same.
If you voted for him the first time after that ridiculous, racist, hateful speech he made after coming down the escalator and the release of the Access Hollywood tape, then I have to believe you couldn't get over having a black president for eight years and just couldn't vote for a woman.Ā
If you voted for him the second time,Ā after the chaos and incompetence of his first four years I have no words for your willingness to continue to follow a man who did so much to trash this country over four years.
If you voted for him a third time, I do have words for you. You willingly voted for the destruction of our country, the restoration of racist and misogynistic policies of the past and a rapid descent into authoritarianism.
I'm not interested in your dismay, regrets, concerns or whatever is on your minds. This is your fault. You don't get to act surprised. He's the same crazy, racist asshole today that he was (and openly said he was) eleven years ago. You have no excuses.Ā
someone ask him to define conservatives? I mean, they will say, fiscal responsibility, smaller government, state rights etc.. But over more than 3 decades they have gone along with the complete opposite, plus the attacks on this nation. It's a scam/grift/con, a term they use, much like being religious to keep a hold of power. They don't actually believe in any of that shit and folks need to pull their heads out of their asses, because while it's been firmly implanted up there, we have losing our country, we HAVE lost our standing in the world, which gave us so many benefits.. Come on. What lying trash that entire group must be!!
How could you have possibly ever thought it was a good idea to vote for that egotistical, self centered, spoiled child.
Thank you very much for what you did to this country.
what does conservative friends mean? what's conservative about voting for a pdf phile r@pist that's driven our debt up exponentially. honestly you should say you met with your maga Christian nationalist friends... the ones that are pro genocide... that makes more sense.
You know he got us out of the Middle East in Afghanistan or we'd still be there and every President since they took over Iran has wanted to get rid of the regime who's actively trying to get a nuke and will use it. I don't like how he's handling it but it needed to get done.
There is nothing wrong with socialism, in fact it's widespread among the western world as everyone with a brain knows. And every one of those countries is superior to the US. But of course Americans don't really know what socialism actually is, and how it would benefit them. It's just a bad word. Americans are the stupidest people on the planet.
If only there had been some kind of process early on in 2024 that would have allowed these people to choose a different candidate actually suited for the presidency instead of someone who had already demonstrated how incompetent he was and was 100% going to do the types of things they are now complaining about.
Yeah, I get it. Most people are short-sighted and canāt see past the end of their noses. Future Presidents and generations will benefit from what heās doing. Thatās what you guys want, right? More forward planning unlike the boomers who screwed it all up.

Really? Just now? Now is when you finally, finally start to realize, āhey, maybe this idiot is a problemā?
REALLY?!
