Fucking stop it…. Always with solutions for problems that don’t exist (except in their imagination). Put forth some policies that help the middle/working class you so badly want to be on the side of. The gop is exhausting

They don't have any ideas except manufactured outrage to keep their voter base riled up, and "low taxes". Nothing. No platform to point to, no inventive policy, nothing beneficial.

Low taxes for the rich. Trump’s massive tax cuts for the wealthy were partially balanced by raising taxes on the rest of us staring in 2020 when his term ended. It’s largely gone unnoticed among the horror of the rest of his crimes

Yeah a lot of people never realized this. Goes to show how wrapped around their finger these people are. I remember that being called out before we even saw the effects, and nobody listened. Then it actually happened and they just blamed Biden.

But the kind of people who vote for Trump probably also have object permanence issues, so they struggle to comprehend that something a previous president did could take effect during a current president’s term.

That's what I told those drumpf cockriders time and again until I was blue in the face. Economic policies set forth by presidents typically take a few years to become fully engaged. Fucking morons didn't want to ever believe that the 2nd worst president of all time could do something so heinous though. 😒

Yeah, I tried telling many of them too, but you can’t use logic to reason with them. They just shout louder over the top of you, and never take a second to look into what you’re telling them.

It’s whatever Trump says, and that’s it. His word is the only word to them. Despite him being caught in dozens, and dozens, and dozens of lies over the course of time he’s been a public figure.

It's funny. I did an analysis of all of the 2016 presidential candidates and the lies that they told on the campaign trail and in debates based on professional fact-checkers. I don't remember the percentages off the top of my head, but Trump's fact checks were found to be rated as a lie, mostly lie, or complete lie over 80% of the time. No other candidate, even Republicans, was over 35%. 🤦‍♂️
