Is anyone else depressed about MAGA?

Trump had an OK first year or two but completely collapsed under the crisis of COVID.

All his stupid policies will decimate the economy. The rich will be happy for awhile, until their daughters start dying from pregnancy complications and the stock market crashes with Trump's erratic behaviors.

Project 2025 will start kicking in and the rural Trump dummies will get kicked good and hard in the teeth when all their benefits are slashed.

The 2026 elections will be a bloodbath for Republicans.


Enjoy it, MAGA MORONS!

You need to get away from this place for a while. it's affecting your mental health.

You're afraid of PP because she's speaking the truth. Perhaps you're the one who needs a break?

I disagree with PP that suggested this is a modern phenomenon….history has always had periods like this — think of the Salem Witxh Trials or the Know Nothjng Party, the kKK or the Nazi party. My conclusion is that, although I don’t ageee with HRC on a lot, she was right that there is a small percentage of people who are just deplorable. 10-15% is probably right. And in periods of time, they are able to gather other more reasonable people into a coalition with them, sometimes due to very reasonable things like high inflation (which is what drove the rise of the Nazi party in Germany) and then those people rationalize some really dumb or awful things based on their perception of who will help them on those issues. It is depressing because most of these people are very misguided.

I don’t think I still know any Trump voters—I knew several in 2016 but only one in 2020 after I became clear that Trump’s policy goals are always overridden by his narcissism and chaos., and lack of any real ability to run anything. The one person I know who is still a Trump voter is very highly educated (scientist) but from an old southern rich family and has really always been low key racist and crazy opposed to government regulation — she’s just generally a difficult person who has some good points (she’s always the first to jump in with helping clean up after dinner, loves her dogs), but is the kind of person everyone avoids talking to because she’s argumentative and just mean, even to family.

This is not new. We’ve always had a minority of fascists who hate America here. Listen to Rachel Maddow’s Ultra podcast about senators in the 30s and 40s who were actively working with Nazis to spread propaganda to the US and our military. Read about a group called America First from that period.

Same traitors, different generation. Some of them are willingly deplorable. Some have been conned.

Then why is OP complaining? She’s had Democrat presidents vast majority of past two decades.

Only democrats are allowed to be elected president. Otherwise democracy will die in darkness.

Maga is not Republican. I'd be ok with any of the candidates the GOP has floated before. But now serious politicians like Romney, Bush are too whatever for magas. The magas are a fascist cult of personality. It's depressing, I agree with OP.

Bush was Hitler, now Trump is Hitler. Republicans are all Hitlers.

This exactly. Some of you may be too young to realize that this is a pattern. Bush was a moron and Trump is a racist or facist. Romney was called a racist and also derided by Obama for considering that Russia was still a threat. Every single Republican is characterized by their opponent and the water carrying media and Hollywood as somehow fatally flawed. So those of use who pay attention and are old enough to see the pattern immediately ignore all the hyperbole leveled at EVERY single Republican. We know. We are all racists and all hate women and we all carry guns and sleep with our siblings and live in trailers. Yeah yeah. We get it. Meanwhile, I’m a middle aged women who is a lawyer, has had an abortion, comes from a family or educated people none of whom own guns or trailers and I will vote for Trump. He is a better choice for the economy and for the future of our country geopolitically. For those of us who aren’t lemmings and aren’t afraid to be called names, it’s really an easy call. Kamala is a thinly veiled communist.

Same here. Middle aged suburban mom who is a regular poster. Frequently called a troll, Boris, etc whenever I express conservative opinions.

Some of the people here have never left their insulated bubble. I’ve voted for both Dems and Republicans. I don’t agree with everything Trump says, but I support vast majority of his policies.

You want millions of people to be rounded up and put into camps or deported? It's about 5% of the work force - who will do those jobs?
You want an across-the-board tariff on all imports, which will cause prices to go up and start a trade war which will hurt American exporting companies?
You want tens of thousands of civil servants to be fired and replaced by unqualified, inexperienced Trump loyalists?
You want Trump to order the DOJ to investigate, arrest and prosecute his enemies? While at the same time ordering them to drop the cases against himself, amd pardoning all those who participated in January 6, including the Proud Boys who were convicted of insurrection.

I’m fine with all those policies. Especially the first.

People who are in America illegally should be out processed at any available facility and deported.

Trump doesn’t want illegal immigrants confined in camps inside the US, because our taxpayers are still responsible for their upkeep. Trump has not proposed or ever said he is going to put people in camps and hold them prisoner.

He’s going to deport people who don’t legally belong in America.

He won’t do it because Republicans, including Trump himself, are ones hiring all the undocumented workers. All the sectors that hire them are dominated by right-wing employers. They are conning you with this. They know how to play suckers for votes, but then vote against a Republican-led border bill because it’s a better politically to do nothing and scare you with imaginary caravans.

Nobody buys that any longer as reps are the party that want everify.

So you want an authoritarian dictatorship? Because that's what you're supporting.
And please don't complain when your fellow Americans use their Constitutional rights to protest against this. Or when our economy collapses from the combination of civil unrest, inflation and shortages of goods from the tariffs and mass deportations, and governmental incompetence.
And you think we're on the brink of WW3 now? Just wait til Trump lets Putin have Ukraine, and China takes the hint and goes into Taiwan.

Hope your kids aren't draft age.

My son is a military officer and voting for Trump.

You need to seek therapy.

Such a canned response. Get new material.

Yeah this thread really brought out the trolls.

Every poster who isn’t a democrat and is not voting for Harris is a troll. All of them.

+ Russian
+ Deplorable

Oopsie.

All republicans are:

trolls
russian trolls
deplorable
racist
bigoted
stupid/ignorant
Hitler

All of them.

All democrats are:

definitely not ever trolls
kind
caring
peaceful
not racist
not bigoted
intelligent, intellectual


This is just reality. Accept it and preach it. Anyone who disagrees is likely Hitler.

Yes, all republicans are Hitler worshipping Nazis.

Bush II was the return of Hitler. Trump is Hitler 2.0.

Same here. I've been called a troll and called names/cursed at for my posts. Ironically, it's only the LWNJ Dems who use foul language on DCUM.

You and this way of thinking are what's wrong with our society. You want an autocratic society where everyone blindly follows everything you believe in. You are living in lala land. So I will proudly denounce both parties because you've both lost your freaking minds.

Well....MAGA didn't just show up out of nowhere....it's been brewing for a long time.

But don't confuse MAGA with either Republican or Conservative which everyone seems to do. Also...make American great again...means different things to different people.

I feel more and more politically homeless nowadays. There are fringe extremists who have taken over both parties. I was never an extremist and find extremism deplorable. I also can't stand hypocrisy.

We as a society have become too focused on extremism - everything has to be black or white. Well....that's not how real life works. There are many shades of gray!! And until both sides are willing to accept that, I'm honestly thinking about sitting this election out. Repeat..."thinking about" -- I look forward to watching the debates. Let's see how they go. I'm a conservative leaning on voting for Harris but there's only 1 single issue making me vote for Harris. I hate voting based on only 1 issue.
