Maybe some evidence would suffice, but thank you for playing. Just look at literacy rates and the red states, or fundamentalist religion and the red states.

The lowest literacy rate is CA.

Funny. You give a good rational reply about the use of anecdotal evidence. And then you fall into the trap of motivated thinking.

When?  Be specific

I believe I ask you and seems you cant tell, right?  I'm not a leftie so using typical trumpette cliche's are  just showing your ignorance for what it is.

You claim that my answer told you what you needed to know even though my answer simply pointed out that yours was a forbidden question.  Why is it relevant to know whether a member of aseannow.com is an American or not. Are there not people whom you know are Americans who share my views? Why should knowing my nationality make any difference as to their validity?

You could answer if you wanted

Having said that I am wondering why Republicans are so unwilling to criticize anything that Trump does.

They're cowed into submission for fear of having the social media StormTrumpers set on them and their family. For the most part they're spineless cowards, fearful of losing their place at the trough.

Yes I could. But even if I did, how to know if I'm telling the truth? You just pointed out how anecdotal evidence is worthless, but what about unverifiable testimony? What's the value of that?

Because of the ESLs. The states along the Gulf of Mexico are just stupid. Trump loves the poorly educated for a reason.

As I read that chart, the market doubled from 2020 to 2024 and the Trump trend is conveniently excluded. They are not making a very strong argument.

Actually, the ups and downs of the stock market don't really signify much. Paul Samuelson, the eminent economist, remarked something to the effect of The stock market has predicted 9 of the last 5 recessions.

In answer to your question as I am a huge supporter of President Trump, because we realize that someone even as great and patriotic as Trump sometimes enacts polices that we would not normally adhere to. Now, I certainly am not a politician and I do not have access to the information that Trump has so I will just trust and assume that Trump is making the correct decision and continue to support him. Trump's life was spared for a reason and the best is yet to come. Learn to love the Trump.

What the market wants is stability. Unfortunately stability is not Trumps strong suit.

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

 

Something a lot of people who live outside the MAGA bubble don't understand:  the DT fans don't pay attention to issues, plans, jackleg executive orders, etc.  They live off of his latest sound bites, insults, and promises.  Policies?  You mean like insurance policies?  What the hell are you talking about?  

But it looks like some may be coming out of the trance.

No its you that has no answer or you would have given it since you are so quick to post that graph and make implications. But you don't answers do you? Nice try at trying to flip the question though. 

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. 

 

t tells the story of a group of anthropomorphic farm animals who rebel against their human farmer, hoping to create a society where the animals can be equal, free, and happy.

Sorry, you clearly do not understand the book.
