(8,419 posts)In 2015/2016 I kept waiting for them to take the multiple off ramps, they never did. His base support barely takes a hit, and only short term, for outrageous policies and tweets. Cage some kids, take a short term one or two percent hit. Then I thought back to 2008, the Repukes had trashed the economy, blew up Iraq, EPIC FAILURES! They were in a free fall for a very short time. Then they threw Palin at us and rallied around her hate. Obama is a militant Christian/Muslim, he is using Chicago Thug techniques on the bankers, on and on. Clinton takes them down a notch after Papa Bush, then they threw Newt at us and rallied around the hate.
They have no core belief other than hate of liberals. Hell the same people who were outraged over Kap taking a knee, said it was disrespectful of the military (a standard they have been using for years) have said squat about tRump tweeting a go ahead for the Turks and Russia to over run our base in Syria. tRump put US troops in danger, the Russians rip down our flag, the ultimate disrespect to our Military, yet silence. tRump claims wounded warriors had a headache, again silence.
A recent poll had 43% of Repukes supporting tRump if he shutdown media that was critical of him and his policies. Now he has insinuated such, but hasn't tried it. I guarantee you that if he did it, Repuke support would shoot up to close to 70%. Imprison political foes, jail Libs for being Anti-American, the majority of Repubs, close to 75% would support him. And here is a hint, the 25% who don't have the fucking guts to state their support, they are just like Mitch, Collins, Murkowski, they would find some lame ass reason to support the position while feigning mild outrage.
One good thing, it appears that most here have come to the understanding of how deep the hate runs. If we make it through 2020 we must always remember how low they will go.
