Its ridiculous to think folks that voted for Trump and his ideas would do complete 180 and vote for Marxist Dems. Isn't gonna happen over a couple of dollars increase in gas prices.
Don't believe the Marxist propaganda......

Yeah, it’ll be the same people who stayed home in 2024, to make their big statement. Which clearly no one cared one bit about. Lol

Trying to pretend the reason people aren't supporting republicans is because of high gas prices rather than increasing government spending, starting foreign wars, trying to block the Epstein files and attacking the most conservative members of congress demonstrates the disconnect going on right now.

They didn't vote "For Trump". They voted for the campaign promises of draining the swamp, not starting foreign wars, getting rid of corruption, secure elections etc.

Instead they got a 180 from Trump including attacking and spending millions to primary the most conservative members of congress.

I have no idea what will happen in the election, but the way you guys are framing things is just wrong.

They literally voted for Trump at the voting booth, and for too many potential individual reasons for you to know.

Gas station by my house - I'm friends with the owner.. not like hangout friends but cordial friendly because I'm in there almost everyday and he said after the election he will be under 3 based off all of the info he is seeing. He's an Indian and he hates Democrats lol

Here are the 3 reasons conservatives were attacked:

1. Voted against the BBB and the trillion dollar increase in deficit spending and an economical policy of inflation.

2. Voted against starting a foreign war.

3. Voted in favor of letting the public know about the pedophiles in positions of influence and who was behind it.

I support them on all 3.

Then the GOP has nothing to worry about.

I don't know who is going to win, I'm just explaining why people are upset with the GOP.

Getting my vote is easy.

Step 1: Nominate a conservative.

That's it, that's the list.

Most Americans have no clue what's happening in Brazil much less care to know so this point doesn't really do much

The GOP base will still vote republican

The key to winning elections in this country is two fold:

1. Energizing your base (this requires not sucking)
2. Grabbing swing voters or flipping voters

This is why republicans will get their clock cleaned. It's not rocket science.

Sweet. Have fun with a total Democrat government in 2028.

Think they’ll give a damn about the Epstein files?

Nah, they’ll continue the war on fossil fuels and letting millions of migrants into the country. All while raising your taxes to pay for social welfare programs for the millions of migrants coming into the country.

I won’t feel sorry for you then.

Are said purity testers early voters? Doesn’t appear to be based on the #’s I’m seeing

Right, so you have nothing to worry about and the GOP will get as many votes as before.
