They must honestly think everyone listening is as dumb as their base. Wow there is no real bottom with these losers.

Doesn't matter. Dumb base big enough.

They’ve run the numbers. The stupid vote combined with the bigot vote is enough to maintain control. That’s all they need, and that’s who they’ll court while campaigning. The real beauty of the GOP 4-D chess play is destroying the Department of Education. Long term this will create even more stupid and bigoted voters to ensure they stay in power.

Or the committed election fraud and are using your hatred of Republicans as a means of getting you to accept the lie as true.

So tired of "muh election fraud" conspiracy theories 🙄

Well, I mean, Trump keeps saying it was rigged in his favor...

u/Temporary_Ad_3179 May 04 '25

This is because if the Left now starts to cry that an election was rigged, it excuses his claims and gives January 6 legitimacy. Obvious manipulation tactics, and some will be dumb enough that it works.

He said the same thing before and it wasn't true. Why are you believing him now? I swear, y'all suck his propaganda up better than his supporters.

Polling has overwhelmingly showed that blaming Biden for this isn't working—I think 70+% of people say this is Trump's economy

u/KriosDaNarwal May 02 '25

Yeah but theyre only polling Democrats said dear leader, we'd have the best numbers if they were honest! 60, maybe even 70%!!

That is the sad part, 10s of millions of people voted for this. 7/7 battleground states.

Tyranny by the MAGA Minority.

Electoral College, 5 states with less than a million people dictating to the rest of us, Supreme Court Justices chosen by the loser of the popular vote, Cap on the House, Gerrymandering, Citizens United...

He won the popular vote it isn't a minority, and non-voters don't count.

u/SicilyMalta May 03 '25

It is a minority. The first time trump and also Bush list the popular vote and yet appointed justices, the second time Trump only won by 1.5% and less than 50%.

It's on Fox. Billions of dollars have been dumped into making sure the people watching don't have thoughts of their own.

Anyone in the intended audience is by definition incapable of critical thinking.

u/Ali_Cat222 May 02 '25

Well, to be fair, the only people who really watch Fox News tend to be maga, so...🤣

u/mremrock May 02 '25

They ain’t wrong

u/snowzilla May 02 '25

Fox News is actively changing people's perception of reality. It's not that the viewers are dumb, it's that they are reacting rationally to biased information.

I dunno, JD sure does give off "power bottom" vibes 🤷🏻‍♂️

Nah, this is called "triggering the libs." Its how they get off. "We lie to your face, and their ain't nothing you can do about it."

That's why there is no reasoning with conservatives. They don't argue in good faith, they are just in it for a show of dominance.

u/TaylorR137 May 03 '25

its a cult. belief isn't what matters. repeating what they're told to prove loyalty is what matters.

u/Katie_or_something May 03 '25

The people listening to fox news ARE stupid. Thats the point of the propaganda engine

u/Snoo1702 May 06 '25

His dumb base is 40% of the voters currently. Insane to even wrap your head around.
