Correction: greatlakes is cosplaying as a "principled conservative"

AKA Democrat posing as a "libertarian"

Rapid political change is normally violent. Peaceful change takes time. Exactly what did you expect to be accomplished in less than 2 years in office?

I'm against doing dumb stuff and I'm also against $5 gasoline, $7 Diesel, 7% mortgage rates, out of control wasteful spending, War, and a whole bunch of other things you no longer care about since Trump is the one doing it instead of Biden. I'm against both of them causing such things.

They probably feel like they took control of the discussion. Not by making their case, but instead causing reasonable people to leave the discussion and everyone else becomes distracted by the nonsense. Basically, they strive to create chaos when they think it will prevent harm to their ideology. It’s very mid level intellectual stuff but it works. It works to stifle productive discussions that do not help their ideology.

Modern democrats are dishonest bold faced liars by default. They have to be because they can never admit their ultimate goal. Most of them probably do not even know the goal is evil but they are assured they are intelligent and good people by repeating the lies ad nauseam. (AKA useful idiots)

Then there are contradictory types who always try to argue any point being made. They don’t really care about anything, other than winning/engaging in an argument. They will twist the narrative to something they can argue against. Some of them are quite intelligent but you’ll never see them contribute to a discussion because that goes against their nature.

Nope. You’re a cultist because you continue to support Trump while he implements democrat spending, debt, monetary stimulus, and other policies that would make Bernie blush.

Ultimately, what you are saying is that it is not possible for a conservative voter to find fault with anything trump has done.

and you are saying they are crazy?

The blatant grifting is new.

He might have done it his first term, too, but if he did, he kept it on the down-low.

This term he's flaunting it.

I consider myself one of those people and he continues to F up. A good 60-70% of us on this board are in agreement now. I still like him but he's been an average president.

The reason this even comes up is the nature of populism.

Those of you who argued with me over the one and only underlying, foundational principle of populism, please pay attention.

To a normal, reasonable human being, it's self evident that if a political candidate you previously supported disappoints you for some reason, you might stop supporting him/her.

To a populist, it's unthinkable. To the point that they can't even believe it, so they have to claim that you're lying about having ever supported the politician in the first place.

The only reason the populist thinks that way is because to them, you are violating the one and only underlying, foundational principle of populism.

Us vs Them.

If Trump doesn't have your full, blind, unquestioning support anymore, that has to mean you'd rather have Harris.

To a normal human, that's obviously fallacious. To a populist, that's just the logical conclusion of the one principle they live by.

I’m against high gas with Trump, like I was with the Biden administration when it was higher. It’s more understandable now with the Iran affair. Do I agree with everything Trump says or does, not even close. But will I vote for a Democrat who has no better idea of how to deal with Iran, not even close. Especially with all the democrats are trying to pack in their tent, open borders, boys in women’s sports. Trans surgeries for minors, potential political lawsuits against conservatives and so much more. . I didn’t like seeing Obama unload tons of cash to Iran as a solution either.

Ok. Let’s play a game. What would you call someone that:
-ignores the deficit and wants to add another $750 billion to annual spending
-permanently wants the debt ceiling suspended
-outspent the previous administration
-racks up more debt than all other presidents
-wants government run drug stores
-wants government ownership of companies
-supports price controls
-wants ownership condition in the housing market
-wants 50 year mortgages to belt the “middle class
-wants enact Elizabeth Warrens credit card interest caps
-backs monetary stimulus that would make Paul Keugman orgasm
-praises socialist Mayor Mandami as a “great mayor”
-wants government manipulation of trade to set prices
-wants to pass out government checks to every adult in america to buy votes

What would political alignment would call that person?

I’ve said plenty of positive things. But there has been les and less to be positive about. We are not the same.

I don't believe it's a matter of threatening to stay home, I think it's more a fatigue situation where voters become apathetic

Well, we all know his first attempt at running for President was with the far left Freedom Party with running mate Jesse Ventura.

Populists never want to admit that.
