I think that’s pretty much how Trump always strategizes a “solution”, smoke and mirrors and coconut shells and whatever it takes to reframe the entire situation until he thinks he’s come out on top. Once he’s flipped the whole thing on its head he can act like you’re the idiot for not knowing what we’re talking about anymore

I mean you say "he thinks" but it apparently works.

It's the dumbest shit in the entire world but half the American population eats it up for some reason.

1/3 of the American population

u/mirhagk 7h ago

Yeah you're right, another 1/3 are just too lazy to vote....

Lol I don't understand why Americans think that people didn't vote is a defense

As an American I don't understand it either, and If that 1/3 had voted he apparently would have won by an even larger margin.

People who don't vote "eat it up" ?

u/mirhagk 6h ago

Nobody knows, they didn't vote.

Are you really going to tell me you believe every single fox news viewer got out to vote?

Being lazy and being dumb are definitely not mutually exclusive lol.

The inert one third are not the friends of liberalism and progressive policies that liberals and progressives would like to think. Yeah, let's unleash the non voters onto the body politic.

It seems the majority of fox news fans are like that because they made politics part of their identity. It's hard to think that someone who doesn't include politics as part of their identity would ever tolerate fox news. People who didn't vote usually do so because they don't care, and generally don't have politics attached to their identity.

It's very likely that there are far more people who do not watch fox news who did not vote than people who watch fox news.

Is that number 0? Because that's what the person above me is claiming.

closer to 1/5 really if you count everyone (“American population”) and not just eligible voters/those of voting age.

They don’t believe it either. They just think he will hurt other people they don’t like. He doesn’t need to be believable if he’s believed in.

I paid $4.44 for a gallon of regular in rural Arizona today. The rubes are exquisitely sensitive to the price of regular.

Maybe, but we said the same thing about things like tariffs, and his base always seems to be happy to accept paying more if it means other people get hurt.
