re: Why is it unpopular to say I’m tired of Trump’s stupid comments and he looks low energy?

For the serious dumbasses here you can’t criticize either. You discuss Trump, they discuss you. It’s boringly predictable.
The Desantis group definitely attacks Trump supporters more than the Trump group attacks Desantis supporters.

We saw what side of the ousting of McCarthy you were on. That type of fight is necessary to get spending under control.
And you warned people they were siding with democrats. You double down and say that group wants big government.
Tell us more about projection, please.

My support/lack of support for Trump has nothing to do with his followers. My evaluation of Trump has to do with Trump.
My evaluation of his followers has nothing to do with Trump. It has everything to do with each individual and his/her behavior.
The fact that you're trying to combine these concepts is showing your true colors.

criticism of Trump is most often a veiled criticism of the people that support him,
Doubling down on the in/out group dynamic. Not shocking.
You know who also does this, right?

Y'all have a tough time understanding objective commentary doesn't require subjective preferences. Again, in/out group dynamic at work.

Who voted to oust McCarthy? What was the party split?

Yes. Did you ignore 2016-2020? Spending went way up. Government did not decreased, even when Trump was given the option to veto renewals of Patriot Act bullshite.

"The Desantis group" is becoming less defined that other catchphrases like "globalist"
I have been included in "the Desantis group" when I publicly announced I didn't support him months ago

Like Trump.
Again that's why people were looking for other options who are more likely to actually accomplish this goal

Cult is a term, in most contexts pejorative, for a relatively small group which is typically led by a charismatic and self-appointed leader, who excessively controls its members, requiring unwavering devotion to a set of beliefs and practices which are considered deviant (outside the norms of society).[1

He didn't say population. He said belief.
North Korea is a cult. Russia is largely going that way.
Look up "cult of personality". It's extremely popular in authoritarian societies/dictatorships.

Trump is the most criticized person in the world. Even today. He is criticized more than the current president. Their permission is quite obviously meaningless.

This is discussing his opponents.
We're discussing the population of putative support.

You saying the same thing as one of the more prominent leaders of the democrat spin machine, while trying to demonstrate how conservative you are, is irrelevant. That’s funny.

You wouldn’t withhold your personal opinion on anything

“Matt Gaetz is just grandstanding” is not objective commentary. That was your opinion, and it was incorrect.

More objective commentary?

Keep up man. Maybe read posts before you respond. The group he was referring to was isolated by Trump. If the other options are currently in the federal government, please explain what they are doing to fight for “small government”. Which options exactly?

That specific point was to show I'm not a caricature of a "conservative", but I'm glad you clearly understood the simple point.
I never said I was "conservative", either. You filled that gap in yourself.
quote:

This isn't true. I largely don't discuss my personal opinion on here, but it doesn't stop people from imputing their perception of it in response to my posts all the
time.

I should have used better words.
He was just grandstanding *with his current Republican support.
Without the DEMs making it their move, he would still be grandstanding. If you look at my comments, they're always specific to his support within the GOP. I did not comment on the DEMs making a move because I didn't think he'd ever join in with a united DEM front.
quote:
More objective commentary?
Yes. Objective analysis. There aren't the votes to get those through the Senate and they won't survive Biden.
That's objective analysis.
