What makes you think they still aren't underperforming him?

Humans are complicated. We can’t deduce a person down to one vote. But yesterday, millions of Americans came out to show their disapproval. And look at the images. These aren’t “radical, socialist, Democrats.”

I’m sure MAGA will try to spin some fanciful tale, but we all saw the pitiful fascist parade vs. the MILLIONS of everyday people, from small “red” towns to big “blue” cities coming together to show their love of country(lots of 🇺🇸) and their opposition to MAGA.

You are wrong. It wasn’t only a vote against the incumbent party. They could have rejected MAGA and picked a different republican candidate in the primaries. They didn’t.

Americans wanted MAGA. That’s what they voted for. They had 8 full years to learn about the MAGA agenda. Nothing that is happening now is surprising.

This is not like an politician who says all the nice things to be elected and once in power does something completely different.

I’m OP. And this is a false narrative. Until you understand what really happened we cannot correct it. Walking around thinking that half the country vote voted MAGA hatered helps no one. It is obvious by yesterday‘s turn out which America people want to live in.

This is a simple as who decided to come out and show support for Trump versus who decided to take a stand with their neighbors for a different America. It wasn’t about policy. It was just about the fact that we do not want to live in authoritarianism.

You are still in denial. Wake up.
Voters knew that Trump was an authoritarian. He showed authoritarian behaviors during his first term. He orchestrated the assault on the Capitol on Jan 6.

You aren’t going to tell me that half the country who voted for him didn’t know that by putting an authoritarian in power, they would be living in authoritarianism.

The voters are not dumb. They knew exactly who they were putting in charge.

Mind you, I’m not opposed to breaking things. I’d break our corporate shareholder-prioritizated healthcare system and replace it with Medicare for All in faster than you can say “our formulary no longer covers that.” But this corrupt, ignorant, mendacious, taxpayer-funded free-for-all? Massive overreach.

Of course. You democrats invite in 10 million people with no background checks, but Trump deporting 100,000 criminals is overreach. Uh huh.

F your party "ethics".

He overreached. Look at his poll #s

Context is everything. His numbers are way higher than democrat numbers.

Which is why the GOP and reasonable Trump voters should be furious with him. He had a chance to actually do some things that could make a real and meaningful difference in people’s lives. That’s not what he prioritized.

You still don’t get it so you? This IS what we voted for.

Have a nice day, progressives. :wink:

Swing state Trump voter here. Who voted for Obama twice. I know people on DCUM claim we don't exist but the numbers clearly show otherwise. And besides, how dare anyone challenge my "lived experience."

Trump may be a esthetically unpalatable but the other choice started out being someone who is literally dead. Then they installed someone who spoke like her brain chip was glitching.

So by default I'm MAGA.

You voted for masked stormtoopers snatching people off the streets?

Lovely.

They also voted for having their personal data including bank account numbers taken by individuals - some with questionable backgrounds- representing a private entity.

Trump’s goals are 1) stay out of jail 2) grift as much money as possible 3) receive adulation 4) play golf. To achieve these, he’ll tell people whatever they want to hear. I don’t believe he has any deep core principles. He’s a blank slate onto which MAGA projects their own fears and desires, and which his advisors use to advance their own darker agenda.

A peek into the mind of MAGA: ”I like the lies he tells, but not the reality I observe."

So how would you improve deportations to make it faster?
