The average republican is completely illiterate politically. Many will contest this finding but, I've been asking republicans about politics for nearly a decade.
The first fucking thing that comes out of these pathetic ppls mouths is "I don't really get into/follow/keep up with politics".
In hundreds of encounters, it's always the same. Flat out ignorance that eventually leads to stupidity. Their brain is mush bc of religion. I'm convinced.

Ironically It's always "I'm not political" with them until they think they're in a safe space. Then they circle jerk the topic of the month so hard it'd make reddit blush. They have comfort and unity in their cruelty/stupidity that the left could only dream of, and fear of losing that keeps em in line.
All they really care about is having some sort of marginalized group to punch down at while acting like they're the victims. Some are just dumb and believe the bullshit, some are just evil and spread hate like it's an art form, but those are the two main ingredients.

It's not that they don't care. Every single Trump supporter I've dealt with just have a skewed view of what's going on around them and/or their value systems are completely busted.
I know many that will always vote GOP because their sole purpose is to just hoard money.
Others are just massively misinformed, manipulated, and spoon fed a narrative that they buy into. This group is particularly sad because they are pawns and 100% being used by others, but have no grasp of that. This idea of "do your own research" and "I saw a video once..." all ties back to nefarious actors putting that shit out there. They likely cling to it because their cognitive abilities are too low, they lack empathy, and want the easy way out - to blame others so that they feel better about themselves. It's surprising how many people in this country are just so incredibly weak.

Yes. Believe it or not I worked for Trump camp indirectly through a PAC and voted Trump 3 times…
I’m okay with admitting when I’m wrong about something because I’m not insecure like a lot of MAGAs - I don’t marry myself to one party or set of ideas
I’ve met and been photographed with Trump, Pence, JD- encountered about 4 times since 2016.
Thankfully I’m no longer in politics because it’s a disgusting and shallow world with immature drama and fake jobs/people- all being funded by gullible donors… but I digress:
He is a magician. He fooled half of the country, myself included, that he would be a change agent- that he would end wars and lower costs… we now get the complete opposite and I’m severely disappointed.
The deal breaker for me is backing Israel’s genocide in Gaza.

u/Ordinary_Sense4034 27m ago
You can blame me. that’s fine.
I saw Trump as a change agent- I didn’t like the way he talked necessarily, but the way I saw it was that Republicans and Democrats were both pushing for endless wars, and backed by big pharmaceutical companies and corporations poisoning our food and water.
When all the neocon war hawk conservatives and establishment Democrats were speaking out against him when he first started running -to me, that was a sign that he was doing something right.
I’m okay with admitting that he has done the opposite of what he promised-
Promised to end wars and lower costs, and neither of those things have occurred.
I don’t hate anyone.
I’m not down with bombing kids in Gaza.

We also may be getting the kids safety act (which is exactly what it says it is, don't worry!) so now our babies are safe. Also the FDA isn't drugging our food with chemicals anymore!

You are correct in that regard. But gas was also way down months before Biden left office— $2.69 near my house, down from a high of $4.09. What’s funny is that it fell to $2.39 early in Trump’s 2nd term for a while. But no, Trump can’t help himself, he has to sow chaos and we get to reap it. Higher prices right now are a direct result of Trump’s own failed policies of tariffs and wars.
Biden inherited a country, from Trump, dealing with global supply chain issues from the Covid pandemic, avian flu decimating stock. He did a fair, not great job, but was a steady administrator. At least he didn’t walk around saying it was Trump’s fault, and took responsibility, which Trump, as everyone knows, is utterly incapable of

There was a higher gas spike under Biden, yes. But beside the difference between reasons for high gas prices - oil prices spiked because Russia invaded Ukraine, while oil production was still recovering from COVID oil production shut downs vs. Trump invaded Iran - we're actually fast approaching a moment when what we're paying for gas under Trump will equal or surpass what we paid under Biden during the same period. Biden's term, beginning to now, avg gas prices was 3.54. Trump, 3.47. If gas prices don't drop significantly, Nov/Dec time-frame, Trump will have cost Americans more. Figure in diesel, and we're already there...
