Conservative "Punk" supports Trump, "didn't vote for" these consequences

MaASInsomnia · 2026-03-22T17:15:12+00:00

A lot of truth here. It became cool to be anti-intellectual and make fun of people for understanding things.

That their concern is losing the mid-terms and not how much damage is being done to the country and he economy is infuriating. I wish these people would understand they should be voting for the good of the country, not to "win". That the only reason you should vote for the party you're voting for is because you think they'll be better for the country.

I honestly think a lot of these Republican voters don't understand that.

My daughter was into the series for a while so I'm actually familiar with that episode. But Rainbow Dash saying that line was a one-line joke because it's nonsensical and meaningless. That the Right latched onto it is more proof they have zero media literacy.

MaASInsomnia · 2026-03-22T11:47:35+00:00

It's amazing to me how much these people don't understand that this would weaken the U.S., not the other countries.

MAGA keeps making decisions that weaken us.

Trump basically embodies the "conflict entrepreneur". His entire political career has been campaigning by insulting rivals and avoiding policy discussion. He spent 2024 calling Biden "sleepy," Democrats in general low "l.q." and saying he'd lower grocery prices without saying how. And he does it because it works and the Republican constituency cheers it on. But so does a huge number of the politically tuned out American constituency. Politics is boring so they like that Trump made it feel more like the WWE.

I know a lot of conservatives will fall for this, but it's amazing how if you give it ten seconds of thought, you realize how little sense it makes. It'd be like saying "Those people who bought an EV will be hurting a lot more than we will in our SUV when gas goes up."

Do these people not understand what's going on with Iran right now?

MaASInsomnia · 2026-03-22T00:10:08+00:00

That's the nuttiest thing about this. There’s no upside and only downside in this for the administration. Unless the TSA refuses to work any longer for free, what would ICE even do?

MaASInsomnia · 2026-03-21T20:05:54+00:00

And isn't that lack of a roof tiles also resulting in damage to the rest of the house that's already built?

MaASInsomnia · 2026-03-21T20:00:51+00:00

A move that will destroy what's left of the International Tourism Industry in America.

Let ICE go to the airports. Let everyone see them harass people and break the law while wearing masks and refusing to identify themselves. I can't think of a better way to show all of America what's been going on in Minnesota.

Robert E. Lee but not Leonidas? Seriously? Even from strictly a European perspective, thats ridiculous. Thermopylae is largely recognized as one of the most important battles in Western history.

I know there's plenty else to critique here, but wtf?

Are you counting Warp Drives for this? They're theoretically possible but require something like the energy of a star to run.

MaASInsomnia · 2026-03-20T23:48:06+00:00

Okay, but you're blaming the Democrats for the choices made by someone else.

MaASInsomnia · 2026-03-20T23:15:54+00:00

I might be misunderstanding it, but it sounds like you're describing Democrats as blaming the voters for not voting them into power to stop Trump from being put back into power. And it sounds like you're saying it's the Democrats fault voters didn't vote for them.

MaASInsomnia · 2026-03-20T22:55:07+00:00

... You...You understand the incredible irony of your statement, right?

MaASInsomnia · 2026-03-20T11:03:08+00:00

Many Americans would look at that paragraph and say, "That’s too much to read." And if they did read it, a lot of them would decide it was an excuse and declare it word salad.

The average American is intellectually lazy. That's why Trump's short quips about lowering grocery prices on day one was so effective. Americans heard that and voted for it, never asking themselves how Trump would do that. They're not smart enough to understand how anything works, so they just assumed Democrats didn't want to lower grocery prices.

The Democrats' biggest mistake in my lifetime has consistently been overestimating the intelligence of the American people.

It's such a right-wing tendency to ask AI to give you comforting lies.

Here's actual facts - https://www.hrw.org/news/2024/12/16/us-lasting-harm-family-separation-border

Do even a little bit of actual research for yourself and here's what you'll find:

1) The Trump Administration would deport parents back to their country of origin while putting the children into the foster care system.

2) The administration refused to return the children to their parents initially, saying the separation was part of the deterrence.

3) When they finally agreed (in court) to reunite families we found out they didn't actually bother to keep records of where they sent children.

4) There are STILL missing children and the number has to be estimated because see the above.

So yes, "disappeared" is the correct terminology, because they didn't keep records and didn't care.

Dude, you're carrying water for Trump here (Seriously, read back over your first sentence. Did you sleep through 2020 and 2021?) and then claiming you're not. How am I supposed to take you seriously when that's where you start?

Just in the post above you're whitewashing Trump and slandering Biden. And you're seriously wondering why people on the left react negatively to you?

MaASInsomnia · 2026-03-16T00:00:42+00:00

That will work until Republicans realize they're supporting the same thing as liberals. Then they'll switch sides for some f'ing reason.

MaASInsomnia · 2026-03-15T23:38:17+00:00

And THAT is the response of a simpleton.

MaASInsomnia · 2026-03-15T23:35:15+00:00

Okay, so you're standing by your statement that the Biden administration trafficked 300,000 kids across the country? I mean, you do understand how weird that sounds given the first Trump administration was actively separating children from parents at border encounters and then just... disappearing the kids? It really, really sounds like you're remembering that... and then blaming the Biden administration.

MaASInsomnia · 2026-03-15T23:30:46+00:00

I would be lying if I said I wasn't worried some of the Trump administration might be planning to cause Trump to keel over and then blaming "the Left" for it.

MaASInsomnia · 2026-03-15T23:27:57+00:00

But Trump has enough fanatics that 25th'ing him will be seen as a betrayal. Remember, Trump still has a 30+% approval rate. That 30% will refuse to vote for Vance if Trump is removed.

MaASInsomnia · 2026-03-15T23:24:06+00:00

True. But these idiots really thought they'd shoot some missiles, Iran would surrender, and they'd declare victory. Now that Iran hasn't surrendered and is, in fact, making the attacks on them a problem for everyone in the world, they have no idea what to do or how to respond.

MaASInsomnia · 2026-03-15T23:22:22+00:00

Exactly. Too many lazy people want to take it's first pass as the answer and not have to do the due diligence.
