Why are Trump supporters so unwilling to criticize even some of his policies?

[spidermike007]

it seems like he's hellbent upon bringing chaos down upon the US and world economies. Which makes him very dangerous too. Overall he's a stain on the face and the history of America. 

 

Saint Donald. Total revisionist history, a complete reformation of his entire career, and a total erasure of his past crimes, moral terpitude, and a total and complete willingness to overlook a lifetime of moral bankruptcy. 

 

I do have some friends that will come right out and say the man is a butthead, he's an idiot, and he's an absolute clown, but I like his policies. Those are the Republicans I admire. 

 

With many people, once they got attached to a theory, it was hard to get them detached. They’d screen out unhelpful facts, invent favorable ones, and ignore contradictions in their own claims. Look at those Sandy Hook, multiple fraud convictions, and Jan. 6th truthers, babbling about false flags and crisis actors and all the rest. When people were motivated enough to believe something, they were going to believe it no matter what. There was no such thing as a bridge too far.

Read the book.

Sorry, you clearly do not understand the book.

It's no different than a religion.  They worship him like God.  It would be like a Christian criticizing Jesus.

That's a very good point and a very good argument, he has more or less positioned himself as a savior and some of his followers actually consider him to be a saint, and some even make the mistake of presuming that he's truly Christian and spiritual in nature, which could not be further from the truth.

 

If anything the man appears to be a devotee of Satan.

Which doesn't prove or indicate the claim to be correct. Au contraire, since in hardly any country the right wingers have a majority it contradicts the claim.

The OP claims that Fox News brainwashes Trump voters.  If you assume all viewers of Fox News vote for Trump, only 3.88% of Trump voters watch Fox News. 

Wrong!

Who would have guessed, MAGA Mike, your logic is flawed.

Fox News’ 3 million primetime viewers is a nightly average, not the total number of unique viewers per hour, day, month, or year.

The real unique viewership over the election cycle is likely 40–70 million—making your ‘3.88%’ stat utterly meaningless.

You owe the poster an apology—a large percentage of Trump voters possibly could be Fox viewers.

"You are not an intelligent person" is obviously a projection.
 

NB: Based on past data, Fox News’ annual unique audience has ranged from 60M to over 100M, making 40–70M for the election period a fair estimate.

One very telling action thats not getting much press are the pardons he's granting convicted felons. The Jan 6th crowd got some press but people should be looking at the other pardons he continues to issue. He rails against illegal immigrants and how they are dangerous criminals yet he pardons some pretty dangerous and scummy people that have already shown how they abuse people.

That's the claim i replied to, to which you said i had to look at recent elections. 

But the receipt elections i should look at are not supporting the claim the poster made, they're disproving it.

So why are you replying to this when you're only deflecting. Rhetorical, i won't answer your trolling anymore.

I'm mot trolling, you're not worth the effort. If you want to deny reports in your godly MSM or deny a thread that was started here recently that's up to you. 

As I already said there has been a 'rise' not a 'majority'.

Glad you won't be replying, its very boring.

To make you happy, glad you agree this statement is not supported by facts.

I am a lifelong Democrat and during the 20 years that Clinton, Obama, and Biden were in office I regularly criticized some of their policies that I did not agree with. We are never going to agree with everything that a president does. Having said that I am wondering why Republicans are so unwilling to criticize anything that Trump does.

 

It seems like the even the most ignorant things that he does are not open to criticism from his supporters. I hear a few people here and there saying they're unhappy about this they're unhappy about that, but it appears to be very tiny numbers of people. 

 

Where is the courage in that? How does independent thinking come into an equation where no criticism seems to be acceptable? 

 

I understand his administration members lying over things like classified information to try to cover him, but I don't understand his supporters accepting the mistakes that he's making, and they appear to be quite numerous, to a reasonable mind. 

 

 

 

 

 

I support Trump, as the lesser of two evils, I suppose.  Harris would have been a tragedy, and so the alternative was Trump. 

 

Do I like all of his policies? Not by a long shot, but I don't have much to say about it, at this point.

That sums it up. The Democrat apologists can spew their vile hatred with their lies and misrepresentations, at least Trump is getting good work done and keeping his word as much as he can. Even if not all his policies are spot on a good 70% are superb.

Ah yes, the classic 'vile hatred' accusation—because pointing out the truth is apparently too much for you to handle.

Does that 'superb 70%' include making the world more affordable and secure? Or just the part where he racked up debt, hiked tariffs, and cozied up to dictators?

[simple1]

My conclusion after being unable to ascertain any logic other than them unknowingly supporting paleo conservatism is they simple enjoy being truly irritating.

It looks like the truth is too much for you to handle, or are you seriously denying the vile hatred, lies and misrepresentations that Democrat apologists spew on here every day? Just read this thread.

 

Trump is definitely making the world more secure, without him Ukraine and Russia would not be talking about ending their war. A magnificient achievement that took some doing and has to be wholly credited to Trump.

 

He has also removed all the infrastructure that suggests to minors that they are born into the wrong body and this fallacy is being extirpated without mercy. Again, much safer for all the children in America.

 

He has tackled criminal immigration into the US, deported murderers and gang members. You think this does not make the US a more secure place? Only because you are wearing blinkers and cannot see reality. Your vile hatred is blinding you to reality.

 

 And yes, egg prices are falling, and becoming more affordable, so are restaurant prices, so good news. The economy is being adjusted, if the dollar loses value this will help the US greatly. 

 

Of course the greatest achievement is to tackle the bloated government bureaucracy and corruption and eliminating countless useless eaters in government will eventually lighten the burden on the US taxpayer and make life affordable again. Again, great policies.

This is like saying that Neville Chamberlain made the world more secure. Without him, Germany and Czechoslovakia would not have come to an agreement about ending their war. That worked wonders in appeasing Germany.

People seem to forget what he did not accomplish in his first term. He is a guy who promises alot, and delivers very little. 

 

Only 13 Presidents failed to get re-elected. Only 5 Presidents failed to win the popular vote. Only 4 Presidents have been impeached or resigned. Only 1 President has ever been criminally indicted. And only ONE President has done ALL FOUR. -

 

DJT didn't lower taxes (He deferred them) -

He didn't get Americans that healthcare coverage -

He did not unite the USA, he divided it -

He didn't lower prescription drug prices -

He didn't get roads or bridges built He didn't decrease the deficit -

He didn't end the opioid crisis -

He made over 250 visits to his golf clubs costing us taxpayers $150 million -

He didn't revive the coal industry -

He didn't make covid-19 'disappear' He didn't make Mexico pay for the wall 

He is ranked the worst President in history 

He added $2 Billion a month in tariff costs to the American consumer

He has a net-negative jobs creations for his administration 

He decreased corporate taxes, passing the tax burden to the workers 

He added $ 7.8 Trillion to the deficit - a full 25% of the total deficit 

He incited an insurrection against our government 

He is the only president to never achieve 50% approval. 

He didn't put "America first" and he sure didn't "Drain the Swamp... 

He left office with the worst job numbers of any President since the Great Depression with a net job loss over his term 

He is the first former president to be a CONVICTED FELON (34 times). 

The presidency is very much about character.  Trump is a lowlife convicted felon.

As for getting reelected, once the cheating was stopped he did get reelected.
