[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Besides skyrocketing consumer costs and the constant chipping away at the institutions that (kind of) kept civil society operating (prosecuting corporate crime, vaccinating kids against diseases, etc.), it's mostly a creeping sense that the bad guys (even if you like the bad guys, because it rattles people you don't like) are in charge... and that takes a toll.

Even if you like him, everyone knows (or can see that) Trump is a life-long liar, bullshitter, and cheat (as in not paying carpenters/plumbers/electricians, etc. in his career as a bankrupt "developer".) His sons are comically horrible douchebags, and the people he's surrounded by are people who would associate themselves with a life-long liar, bullshitter, and cheat for whatever gains they think they can extract for themselves. There's a lot of ick happening in that Administration.

It's just a general malaise. Owning the libs (with all their be-nice-to-the-poor-people lecturing) is incredibly satisfying to a certain kind of voter, but then the buzz wears off.[/quote]
Does it wear off? I feel like it’s the only thing that keeps them supporting Trump. [/quote]

Well, true. The feeling of owning the libs is so gratifying for many (most?) Republican voters that some of them end up paying for it in ways they regret. (Check out the FAFO section for some examples.) Many of them blame the owned-libs (now renamed "the system" or "the gubmit") for their suffering.

As has been mentioned, if Trump told them that wiping was woke, you can be damned sure that magaland would get really smelly.

It’s pathetic.[/quote]

Y'all cain't take away mah freedom.[/quote]
