Frozenbeernuts 2,114 Posted February 4 The left has been filled with nothing but hate, and it's only getting worse. They have no idea what they are creating right now. They blame their own hateful emotions on Trump. So many people playing the victim card. I can't stand Biden, but I would never blame him for my own emotional state. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You would be included in that group. Again, your lack of self-awareness is astounding. In a thread where you described Trump supporters as "ignorant, bitter, hateful and downright nasty," you are accusing me of being in a cult. Pseuds like you have have never tried to understand why people like Trump. Maybe you can't. It's easier for your simple minds to just use dehumanizing descriptors like above.

I understand exactly why people like Trump. He was a voice for the people that felt like government forgot them. The swaths of people that lost manufacturing jobs during the Clinton years. The people who felt left out of the club. People who felt like the elites looked down their nose at them, called them deplorables. He was a big F you to the man, to the machine, to the people that thought they were better than all of them. I know all about it. But here's the thing Jerry, it was all a con. Trump is exactly who he they hate. He IS the guy who looks down on the working class and who wants nothing but money and power. These people were all duped. You were duped. Many of them had enough in 2020 which is why he lost. And he was gonna lose again until he pivoted to the "bros", tech bros, cyrpto bros, he told them all how rich he could make them, and here we are. The maga base was there on Jan 6 and they were pissed. They attacked cops at the behest of their father. He has told them all how he's a victim and how he will fight for them. Weak beaten down people see a leader in him, someone who they never could be. A strong no nonsense guy but again it's all a con. He's weak. So don't tell me I don't know anything about Trump. I know exactly who he is and who his followers are. I've lived it. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CaptainObvious1 323 Posted February 4 2 hours ago, TrailGuy said: Yes I'm specifically talking about the Maga folks. The ones who voted for Trump because they were frustrated with the border and groceries and inflation, I can understand that and do not wish ill on them. I know many of them. Some are family and their eyes have been opened the past month. But those maga folks can eat sh1t for all I care. You're worse than any MAGA person I've ever encountered.

What happens when there is a legitimate environmental disaster and Trump's corporate cronies and lobbyists have no clue about how to mitigate it because they fired all the experts? What will happen? What always happens. Trump and the folks that support him will take no responsibility, and find someone or something else to blame: it was caused by DEI or trannies or an undocumented immigrant, take your pick, there’s plenty of choices. If the disaster is severe it will help the Democrats come into power again, and they will restore the EPA and all the other agencies. And then pretty soon there will be overreach and too much red tape and conservatives will start complaining again and then a few years later the public having forgotten all about the disaster will elect conservatives again who will promptly begin deregulating and the whole thing will start over again.

jerryskids 6,557 Posted February 5 Hey @Fnord, I appreciate you bumping this thread. I had planned to do so but have been kinda busy, and my intention with it was very much to track things as we entered the Trump era. Your concern is noted. If Trump dismantles the EPA, that would be a very valid concern. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not talking about advocacy, I'm talking about expertise. Vance can put on a good show, but he's a politician. He doesn't know any more about the logistical steps or the realities of what needs to be done than you or I. But he's ready to support shutting down the government agency that is charged with knowing what needs to be done. The intense disdain from MAGA for expertise is among the most alarming aspects of the movement. It shows a lack of curiosity, deep mistrust, and ultimately will compound problems when shlt hits the fan and the government finds itself with no answers because those that may have had them were deemed "deep state" and were fired.
