Planning to fuck with every aspect of their lives?
they are planning to turn everything upside down and inside out. I find it hard to believe that your average dimwit wants all this crazy shit instead of being left the hell alone.

(120,281 posts)free range eggs at natural grocers for 2.50. Admittedly, they are on markdown, but who cares. People who can spend 10.00 per dozen on eggs are welcome to, but there are options.

(4,381 posts)Note: NOT gender issues... SEX issues. They've been taught in their churches and from early childhood sex=bad, sex=evil. BUT they WANT sex and it feels so good!
So, we have 50% of the country that are avowed Sado-Masochists who have no idea how to release the pent up repression, except in what is now the "politically correct" way.

(2,449 posts)The full quote is "I thought he was going to do good things. He's not hurting the people he needs to be hurting!", which came from an interview in the NYT. A MAGA chud was complaining that Trump's policies weren't attacking the brown people enough, and were in fact harming nice white people like her.

slightlv
(4,381 posts)That's what I've been yelling about for quite a few months now, since they started trying to get mestopristol (sp) off the market. That drug is used for more than just abortions! Not only that, but there are other drugs which could be used as abortifacients which are likely to be pulled off the market, as well. If it CAN be used, they'll see to it that it's not available for use any longer. That idiot that wondered why we "old" women would care about abortions knows nothing about HRT, reproductive health AFTER menopause, or anything else. And neither does any other damned republican. Heck, I love my husband and he's damned intelligent... but I've even surprised him with pieces of knowledge at times... and he used to work at a free clinic!

(2 posts)to get him off of the political stage? Once he's elected, he can't run for office again.
Just a thought. Although it doesn't explain the down ballot wins.
subterranean
(3,539 posts)Not re-electing him would also have gotten him off the political stage, without putting him at the center of the political stage for the next four years. He wouldn't be nominated again anyway, since he'll be 82 in 2028.

(11,147 posts)They never considered Trump doesn't give a fuck about them and would love to see those who voted for him suffer as well. Trump will grin and celebrate knowing he is smarter than his gullible non-critical thinking voters.
liberalmediaaddict
(938 posts)That he wouldn't do all the horrible things he said repeatedly he would do.
A lot of his voters think they can just pick one or 2 items off his menu of promises and threats and pretend the rest won't effect them personally. Like cheaper gas and groceries. Or mass deportations of brown skinned immigrants.
They believed him when he said he knew nothing about Project 2025.
Unfortunately the rest of us our also going to suffer because of their willful ignorance.
