They tell him to go away, and they're used to everything they want happening.
They don't care about, or rather actively despise, the large number of people who regard Trump as a champion of their interests.
Most people’s image of Trump is the CNN caricature. Talked to a guy earlier in the week and he’s hyper political. Something came up about the Jan 6 hearings and he kept going off on it. I said it seems like the people there were protesting an election they felt was fraudulent. Then he started shouting out random names and frothing at the mouth about Trump.
All I said after that was that I don’t think the people supporting Trump are the caricature you made them out to be and asked if he’d ever tried talking to them because most of them just don’t want more government regulations and communism and SJW nonsense. The froth kept flowing.
I don’t like Biden but I don’t feel a deep seething hatred for him. They really did a number on the TDS folks.
Here is another difference:
I can give Biden and the Dems credit when they do something good. Its rare, but it can happen. These people would see Trump do something good, and then twist themselves into pretzels to find a way to say its actually bad.
That is how far gone they truly are.
Do you have any examples?
As a Canadian, I would struggle with identifying anything positive Trudeau has done.
Legalizing weed maybe in 2015. But the rollout has been a clusterfuck and now every strip mall in town has an ugly cannabis store (though regulation is mostly provincial).
Recently? Pretty much nothing.
I was good with him sending weapons to Ukraine to fight Russia (unlike a lot of people on here, I take Ukraines side in that fight), but then he started sending raw cash and that was something I hated.
I had liked that he was backing Taiwan in their struggle, but then recently he backed down on that and seems to trying to take Chinas side
If I had to pick one, I think he has the right idea pushing for Right to Repair legislation, even if I think he is doing it for an ulterior motive. And unintentionally, his apocalyptically bad polices are having unintended good effects. Like the absurd fuel cost encouraging companies to reshore their industry to the US, and encouraging more oil drilling whether he wants it or not (a lot of states telling the Feds to suck fat 'nards and opening up their own oil drilling sites).
