When he said 47% are automatic Ds no matter what. The only question is if it is still 47% or higher

Point being, is at least or close to half the country just does not care about any of the political back and forth and whether Trump made the Ds look bad or some viral X clip where the Ds look stupid or got owned

They simply vote D because the Ds take shite from R voters and give it it back to their patronage network. They just vote for their shite (unlimited welfare state, open borders, and amnesty)

There is no amount of “debate” , facts, or logic that will persuade them away from their shite they want.

It’s important to understand that our political tradition is a very Western and Euro/White way of doing things. All the new immigrants don’t look at politics the same way and are not wired the same way. Much more tribal and focused on acquiring as many resources for themselves in the fastest, most unrestricted way possible with not a single thought on downstream or long term cause and effect consequences of these policies.

I remember when Mittens said that. Then he panicked and retreated when the press freaked out. That’s when I knew he was worthless. He should have stood his ground.

Why should this be important for us to know?

They need to know the rules here and understand it’s not 13bc

You come here you adapt to this country. We don’t adapt to you. Ridiculous people think like this.

Yup. I mean, all you have to do is watch the video of the college kids saying Trump’s speech was terrible, before it even happened. They don’t care about the truth

What's our national debt at today?

Maybe they will fit in just fine with the white way after all.

He was talking about the 47% that effectively pay no taxes and are net takers.

What is 14% of 47%? That's likely the percentage of illegals voting. What's 9% of 47%? That's likely the percentage of dead people voting?

I could go on and on. It's up to the R Party to stop this. Apparently they don't want to.

If you look at the debt versus what we've spent in social programs on the 47% that pay no taxes, the numbers aren't far off. We are essentially borrowing the $ the left buys votes with.

It might be higher now with illegals and Dem fraud, but the historical bedrock number for Dem POTUS voting is around 40%.

The changes since that statement include an increase of unmarried white women who vote D as a husband substitute, industrial union workers who realize that the Ds aren’t their home anymore, illegals voting D, black men beginning to understand that Ds and black women do not respect them, and men of all races beginning to understand that the D’s emotional governance fails, and they are searching the Rs for an intellectually rational home.

I have no idea what the percentage is now, but different groups are stepping in and out.

Hence why GOP shouldn't even acknowledge them. They are pure obstructionists.

We have an agenda we need to be pushed without interference. Anyone who doesn't think this ends up in civil war is missing a few brain cells because it's only ramping up.

Get rid of the voter fraud and illegals and that 47% drops to 30%. Mittens was to much of a bitch to call that out.

Mittens also got attacked for saying Russia was a problem. Obama told him "the 1980s called and they want their foreign policy back."

4 years later, Hilary and Obama were talking about Russia interference and it comes to light that it was they and the Russians.

Mittens was too much of a p@ssy to go after them for that because he and his family were wrapped up in Ukraine with Biden.

I think it’s way higher than 47% at this point. But motivation to vote remains a problem on both sides. Almost half of self-proclaimed conservative Christians don't even vote. Get that demographic alone into the voting booth, and the US would be permanently deep red.

The Right has to effectively and ethically demoralize the Left and keep them sitting at home when the polls open. I think the SAVE Act would greatly help that, since the majority of them know damn well that they're only actually winning because of fraud.

I think it’s a good bit lower than 47% - but agree with the point that we have a lot of shitbag people that vote for a paycheck

That number increased during the Biden years.

Two things gs will get it back down.
1. Save Act
2. Deportations


And heck maybe add this: Republicans to stop obstructing DONALD TRUMP.

People would actually see how good policy works.

I may be misremembering, but I believe the sound bite in question was after the election. Regardless, it is a great example of mittens’ loserness.

This is always the case for both parties. It's all about getting those 47% actually off their asses and into the voting booths and winning over the undecideds in swing states.

He also said that Russia was the biggest threat to international security and he was proven right on that as well
