    Wonder if conservatives knew they were voting to destroy all America’s allegiances. Or if their brains were incapable of thinking that far ahead.

    I’m gonna go with option 2.

      Their only option was Trump or a black woman so they chose the “lesser evil” which (again) turns out to be the much bigger evil.

      I honestly believe they didn’t think that trump was actually going to go through with a lot of it, and that ‘he talks a lot of shit, and triggers the libs’ and that’s it.

      I think they just wanted four more years of Trump term 1 which was retarded but certainly not this horiffic.

      There is still a wildly vocal support base online so it’s hard to hear the voters who have silently realised their mistake.

      And yes it has cost allegiance, that won’t come back as easily this time.

        Unfortunately it’s not a position only MAGA takes. Horse shoe theory is real. There are extreme lefties who hate NATO and EU so much that they rather see the west fall completely apart and fall into chaos, since they think they will come on top when we crawl from underneath the rubble.

        Have you talked to a Republican or MAGA?

        They cheer on destroying relations with Europe.

        They have been convinced that the entire world is somehow abusing the poor widdle usa.

      Things I’m seeing online are like … “he does what he says/he keeps his promises” “better for the economy” … fucked that none of those make sense and you’d have to be an idiot to believe

      So many believe in the whole American exceptionalism shit so I think they believe some of their shit is their birthright or something.

      Most Trump supporters probably can’t even name more than 10 non-english speaking countries that aren’t Mexico, Russia or China, and one their answers would probably be “Africa”.

      International politics doesn’t even come close to their thought processes during election time.

      Most stopped processing after “make America great again”. They really were thinking shit would just magically get great without any care as to the how and for who
