The Left is trying really really hard to separate Trump from his base
This makes probably 6 or 7 pieces from the Leftwing media I’ve seen today
Please don’t take the bait
*** The Left is trying really really hard to separate Trump from his base.***
The Left didn’t separate me from Trump. His own actions on Assange, Syria, and abandoning the January 6th protestors did.
“Please don’t take the bait”
Like a bunch of flies to a pile of cow dung.
Trump recommending vaccines, which he has done before, and saying, sure, I got a booster, isn’t a statement that would separate him from his base. 52% of voters over 65 voted for Trump- the most likely to be vaccinated, and boosted, themselves. Trump had an issue with 30-and under who wanted more free stuff that Biden promised instead of the hard work towards prosperity that Trump offered. If they’re turned off by a single issue, oh well. They’re not Deplorables or even a MAGA.
Why would people who refuse vaccines and literally demand acceptance of their viewpoint, turn their back on someone who simply asks acceptance of different choice for themselves? Very linear thinking that completely contradicts ‘free choice’
The true debate was always personal choice, but people had to go nuts and many felt alienating other conservatives for their own extremism was a better persuasion tactic than the basic point of personal freedom.
May they have many years to stew and reflect on the damage they have done to the conservative movement.
You can’t fix stupid.
It exists at FR, too.
You can be for the vaccines and anti-mandate.
