“Many trumpsters drank the Donald’s kool-aid.”
No way- it’s the exact opposite.
For decades, conservatives drank the GOP Kool-Aid. So dumb, so gullible. The GOP has always talked about free market, smaller government and cutting spending, taxes and regulations in order to get elected, but it’s all lies.
They play this game in congress where they work out behind closed doors which of them can vote against a spending bill, against raising the debt ceiling, against a new tax, regulation or entitlement - and still make sure it gets passed!
It’s all for show - they’re even called “show votes”. There are usually enough Republicans with safe seats who can afford to vote with the Dems and make sure the leftist agenda is carried out, while the Republicans facing a tough primary challenge are permitted to vote conservative so they can go back and tell the voters at home how conservative they are. It’s all rigged - they’re mostly swamp creatures.
Except for Trump, who you are calling a Democrat!
Trump is the most genuine conservative we’ve had as POTUS since Calvin Coolidge, and that includes RR.
Reagan was far better than Trump at promoting conservative principles and I liked it when he called the USSR an evil empire and when he fired the air traffic controllers - but Trump usually does something like that every day before breakfast.
All those 18 republican candidates he ran against in the primaries, he beat them by going to the right of them not the left, Ted Cruz who was supposed to be the true conservative. Then, everyone said Trump will now shift his platform to the center for the general election, like every republican. Instead he doubled down and went full conservative.
Now, fast forward to present day; the GOP’s favorite “show vote” of all time is when they make a big show about voting against raising the debt ceiling. It’s all for show - obviously the debt ceiling will get raised, they are just using the issue to pad their “conservative credentials” - all Trump did was ruin their little Kabuki theatre.
I say, good for him. Why should he let these GOPe fakers put on this farcical show vote each year just to fool conservative voters? I’m glad Trump short circuited the whole charade and blew their cover.
Trump supporters aren’t the ones drinking the Kool-Aid here.
I 1000% agree w/ you on the GOP “conservative” lie. And Trump is a manifestation of that to the T. What exactly makes Trump “conservative”? Cutting down regulations — OK, awesome. But what other than that? Specifics, please.
