IsntLifeFunny Posted May 30, 2021 Report Share Posted May 30, 2021 28 minutes ago, OILERMAN said: If you remember 2016 Trump's campaign promise was he was going to raise taxes on the rich, he said he'd be paying more in taxes. He literally ran on raising taxes! The voters didn't give a fuck That was a dog whistle for those who feel they’re taxed too much. The end outcome for them was hating the elite, besides Trump, and believing his overall position was lowering taxes on them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You care about having an built in reason to vote against people you don't personally like. you would be wrong. If the Democrats force everyone one to pay for free abortions, I will cheer on anyone that blows up an abortion clinic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, it's because he "spoke their language", i.e. the shit they say when they aren't around "those people." Trump gave cover for all closet racists to finally carry on like and talk like knuckledragging racists out in the open instead of behind closed doors.

IsntLifeFunny Posted May 30, 2021 Report Share Posted May 30, 2021 The funny part is how they’ve been pushing to get banned. They love when they get banned. It feeds their ego. Fucking idiots. luvyablue256 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are conflating two groups of people who vote republican: crazy white working class voters and fiscal conservatives. They are not one and the same.

reo Posted May 30, 2021 Report Share Posted May 30, 2021 For Republicans, policy doesn't matter anymore. Their base can be sold on anything as long as the propaganda is behind it. Starkiller, OILERMAN, and MadMax 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their base can be sold on anything as long as the propaganda is behind it. Only as long as the end point is the people with money keep getting tax cuts. There are very few principled Republicans left. They exist, but they’ve been pushed to the fringes and would still likely vote for Trump in 2024.

OILERMAN Posted May 30, 2021 Report Share Posted May 30, 2021 Poor white Trump voters most def thought Trump would raise taxes on the rich.
